I rarely listen to podcasts because I'm not often where I'm doing something where I'm free to listen to something else. I don't drive much, so that's out. I read a LOT, and I'm a fast reader. I'll try to figure out how to download that on my Kindle, which would be a good thing.

Thanks.

Update: I found it on my Kindle and bookmarked it, so I can listen or read at my leisure.

iHeart, Amazon.

If you will go to that MSNBC page:



1) they link to podcast apps you can use



And

2) they provide all episodes right there on the website so you can listen to them on your web browser.

Here is the homepage:

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra

That pages has links to all of the episodes and they will play in your web browser.

As an example, Here is the first episode page, so you can listen to it in your web browser:

https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc-podcast/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra/episode-1-trip-19-n1299374



Take care and let us know what you think.

Do I get podcasts from where I get music? I’ve never been interested in a podcast before.

Also,

There is a link on the ultra homepage to the Apple Podcast version, which will open the entire playlist in Safari on your iphone. That might be easier for you.


Here is that link again:

You remember that, right?😜
Don’t let it throw you.
You don’t have to download.
Just click and listen.
Or, find a teenager to help you!

Go to Google Play

Enter "podcasts" in search bar.

Download and Install Google podcasts

On Google.podcasts type in "Maddow". When it comes up - you will see her regular weekly show and Ultra. Hit subscribe for Ultra.

I figured it out, actually very easy, and just listened to part one. I'm going to enjoy Ultra. I really like
Rachel's voice. My first podcast!

I found a site that allowed me to do it, but they only have episodes 1-6.

No matter where else I went, I could 'listen' to the episodes - but not download them onto my laptop (Windows 10).

So tonight I downloaded Spotify to [hopefully] download the last 2 episodes onto my laptop, but no joy. Spotify allowed me to listen, but not download.

Guess I'll have to keep checking the above mentioned site till they (hopefully) add the last 2 episodes.
