Episode 1: Trip 19

It started with a plane crash. The tragic, mysterious crash of a commercial airliner in the summer of 1940 left a scene of devastation in rural Virginia -- and a series of unanswered questions. The cause of the crash was unclear. Among the dozens of people killed was a sitting U.S. senator. His presence on the flight and the strange circumstances surrounding the crash would end up revealing threats to American democracy itself.

Rachel Maddow, PhD Connects The Dots From History To Current Events

Ms. Maddow is a brilliant historian and scholar who writes of the correlations between past historical events and the current political environment we are experiencing today.

Intriguing and very well done.

Ultra is so well done that it sucks you in and keeps you there. It's fun and interesting. I am so happy I gave it a chance. I will at times let fear take over because of the political landscape today. This podcast helps only because it's an excellent reminder that we've been through and survived great times of civil unrest with corrupt politicians and messed up ideals. Rachel does an excellent job. Thank you for Ultra. I love it and I needed it.

Hard to find

Hard to continue. Web choices are not user friendly. Hard to get started. I am lost to get started.

Riveting

Rachel Maddie’s investigations are always spot on. I’m excited to hear this whole series about the ultra conservatives in America

how much like it is now

it is fascinating and we can survive this mess now also. God help us to be safe.
