Podcast for America

Latest Episodes:

Run, Joe, Run? & Lindsey Graham Oct 20, 2015

Show notes

Annie Lowrey and Alex Wagner are joined by special guest Glenn Thrush to talk about Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, and GOP presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham makes an appearance. Podcast for America is brought to you by the Rachel Maddow Show. Every weeknight MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow breaks down the big headlines for the local threads that tie them all together. Sure, that’s a lot of searching and it takes a lot of work. But even in a country this big, there are no local stories: your life and what you see from your front porch is directly connected to the national news. Watch Rachel as she connects the dots and covers America’s news, one story at a time.
