| Very well balanced show. Evidence and commentary. Provides rebuttals to conservative extremists, pointing out weakness in their arguments and positions. For example, the republican politicians of South Carolina who oppose health care reform from a state so badly in need of it. | ||||||

| Show is quickly becoming predictible, and she doesn't seem to be all that logical. She will bend facts to support her views. | ||||||

| Horrible voice. Whiner who cant stand others who have a different opinion. Does anyone really listen to this show? Seems to be trying to be sensational rather than informative. Too whacky to be taken seriously. | ||||||

| I'm an big fan if Rachel Maddow and love listening to her show on the internet and watching her on MSNBC. She shares my view point on many issues and articulate them very well. I'm in Omaha Nebraska and unfortunately don't have the opportunity to listen to her on AM radio as I'm riding in my vehicle. I'm just recently finding her show on the internet and will be listening to it as often as possible. | ||||||

| Rachel Maddow is so informed on so many topics. She is just amazingly smart and well informed and well educated and just discusses the news topics of the day for her show. She really doesn't need callers as she is reviewing the news events of the day. | ||||||

| As you can also see on TV with Keith Obermann, Rachel is by far the smartest progressive woman on the radio or anywhere else. | ||||||

| Rachel is my favorite. She informs without sending me thumbing through the Federalist Papers (though I love Thom, too!). Stephanie is funnier, but Rachel is tops for news and analysis, especially for recognizing and reading the political tea leaves that the mainstream media swallows whole. | ||||||

| Not a bad Progressive radio show, Rachel isn't quite as good on radio as she is on television, however. She sometimes tries to be funny but this isn't her forte. Very informative, but not a particularly entertaining program. | ||||||

| Rachel's show is my favorite. She prepares for many hours for each show. She is respectful of her guests. I wish she would take more phone calls. Thanks for spreading the truth! | ||||||

| I love Rachel Maddow. If I were a woman and gay, I'd give her girlfriend a run for her money. Seriously though, Rachel has the best show on Air America. Sam Seder is a close 2nd. I think Air America needs to give her a higher profile - and I'd have put her in Al Franken's slot instead of Thom Hartmann. Thom's cool but Rachel is the best. Maybe most hosts don't deserve a 10 rating on everything but Rachel certainly does. She always gets good, interesting guests. She's very well read, well studied, on all the issues she talks about. That is, she's not relying on a liberal equivelent of Drudge, like Huffington Post or something like that. She's getting her info from news sources, not opinion blogs. She's willing to admit when she's wrong. She makes fun of herself more than making fun of others. I listen to her almost every day and will continue listening to her til she retires. She's willing to talk very frankly about the war in Iraq while, at the same time, supporting our troops - having servicemen and women on the show frequently to talk about their experiences and allowing the audience to call in and ask questions of these servicepeople. She does all of this with great professionalism without being boring at all. She's a gem, plain and simple. | ||||||

| Sums up and clarifies the news that's really important, debunks the right-wing talking points, and puts it all in context. | ||||||

| Doesn't even attempt to be balanced. Very negative. Whiny. Very black and white on issues. All right bad-all left good. No nuance. Sarcastic and childish. | ||||||

| What I find EXTREMELY annoying is your wanting a lot of comments to back up why I think Rachael is exceptional as an on air personality. She is well informed, she tells it like it is, she speaks her mind and I enjoy listeningv to her outlook on things. She also comes up with stories that I hadn't heard anywhere else. | ||||||

| I find Rachel's show to be the best on radio. She's enthusiastic, says what she thinks politically, and admits when she's been wrong. She has a sense of humor and is often funny, but funnier still is Kent Jones who came with her to this show. I have nothing bad to say about the show. I listen to severl other talk shows from time to time but I've never found one I like better than Rachel's. | ||||||

| intelligent, entertaining host who is not disrespectful to those with opposing views. a lefty, but not a bomb thrower. | ||||||
