This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Rachel Maddow’s active podcast catalog is grouped under the “Rachel Maddow Presents” umbrella and includes narrative series such as Ultra and the new Burn Order; those series appear on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and at least Burn Order is listed on iHeart as well [1] [2] [3]. The Rachel Maddow Show (the nightly/news feed) is on Apple Podcasts and the Rachel Maddow Presents collection is promoted as the single destination for her original podcasts [4] [5] [6].
1. What platforms the reporting shows — the basics
Available reporting identifies Apple Podcasts pages for The Rachel Maddow Show and multiple Rachel Maddow Presents series, including Déjà News and Burn Order [4] [5] [2]. Spotify explicitly hosts Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra [1]. iHeart lists Burn Order as well, indicating that MS NOW’s distribution includes third-party podcast platforms beyond Apple [3]. Barrett Media and MS NOW materials describe Burn Order as releasing on December 1, 2025 and as part of Maddow’s slate of original series [7] [8].
2. Which Rachel Maddow podcasts the sources name by title
Sources repeatedly name these Rachel Maddow projects: The Rachel Maddow Show (news feed), Bag Man, Ultra (including Ultra: Season 2), Déjà News, and the new Burn Order; Apple’s listings and aggregator pages list these titles as part of her catalog [6] [5] [2]. Barrett Media and MSNBC/MS NOW pages treat Burn Order as Maddow’s newest six-episode narrative series tied to that catalog [7] [8].
3. Apple Podcasts: the clearest presence
Apple’s podcast entries show The Rachel Maddow Show and a “Rachel Maddow Presents” feed that bundles her narrative originals; specific Apple pages exist for Déjà News and Burn Order and Apple’s product copy instructs listeners to check the Rachel Maddow Presents feed to hear her original series [4] [5] [2]. Apple also offers a subscription option (MS NOW Premium) to get early access and bonus content for at least some Maddow productions according to the Burn Order listing [2] [3].
4. Spotify: selective but confirmed availability
Spotify’s public page confirms Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra is available on that service, showing that at least some of Maddow’s narrative series are distributed on Spotify [1]. Aggregator listings and promotionals suggest Spotify is being used as a destination for the “Rachel Maddow Presents” slate more broadly, but the search results explicitly cite Ultra on Spotify [1].
5. Other platforms and distribution notes
iHeart carries Burn Order in its listings, demonstrating Maddow’s team distributes new narrative series beyond just Apple and Spotify [3]. Player.fm and feed aggregators promote a centralized “Rachel Maddow Presents” destination to discover Bag Man, Ultra, Déjà News and other originals, reflecting a broad syndication approach across podcast platforms [9] [6].
6. What the sources do not confirm
The available sources do not provide a single definitive platform-by-platform inventory mapping every Rachel Maddow title to Spotify, Apple, and Google Podcasts simultaneously. They name Apple pages for multiple shows, explicitly show Ultra on Spotify, and list Burn Order on iHeart, but they do not show a Google Podcasts URL or an explicit Spotify page for every title such as Déjà News or Burn Order [4] [2] [1] [3]. Therefore a complete, platform-by-platform checklist is not provided in the current reporting.
7. How to verify yourself (actionable next steps)
Use the Apple Podcasts links for The Rachel Maddow Show and the Rachel Maddow Presents series to confirm which titles Apple lists [4] [5]. Open Spotify and search for “Rachel Maddow Presents” or the specific title (Ultra is already present there) to confirm availability per show [1]. Check iHeart as an alternate host for Burn Order and consult MS NOW’s show page, which promotes following “wherever you get your podcasts” and lists the new titles [3] [8].
Limitations and note on agendas: MS NOW and Apple’s product pages serve promotional roles for Maddow’s new releases; their language emphasizes chart success and awards while directing listeners to MS NOW Premium for early or bonus access—an implicit commercial agenda to drive subscriptions [4] [2] [3]. My summary relies only on the cited listings and does not assert platform presence where the sources are silent [4] [1] [2].
