Rachel is one of the most intelligent, engaging, delightful speakers that I’ve ever heard. I loved every minute of her talk and would go hear her again tomorrow if I could.
Rachel has gone from being a reporter to being an historian on the very important subject of America combating authoritarianism here at home. I'm very happy she came to Tulsa (rescheduled after she got Covid some weeks ago) and am thrilled she filled the very large room (I think 3000 people) at the Cox Center. It was a great event!
This event was more than a pleasant surprise. We’ve watched Rachael over the years and listened to podcast. The book review and live conversation was fascinating and enjoyable. She shared some things from her life, and opened up the audience to introduce ourselves to each other. Her message was welcoming to those that we may not always agree with, and challenged us to have conversations with those people. We are all in this world together, and have to find a way to live in harmony again. This is certainly good advice for the times that we are living.
My husband and I both enjoyed her perspective on many issues. She is thoroughly prepared whether spontaneous or edited. We learned a bit about her background and then on to the subject of the book and its origins. She has an amazing thought process! She has a delightful sense of humor! She will be very busy with all her upcoming projects and we look forward to them. Thank you for coming to Oklahoma.
I saw Rachel last time she was in Tulsa. Glad I got to see her again. She is absolutely brilliant. Thanks to Magic City Books for making this possible.
Rachel was great! But the venue was not. All seating was one flat level making it very difficult to see. Yes, there were video screens but I can watch her on TV from home. Plus the rows of chairs were so close together that we all had to get up and move to the aisle when someone needed in or out.
It was great, except for one thing. Her interviewer needs to check out Toastmasters. He is not a good speaker. It was difficult to understand him. He did not enunciate well, his voice dropped at the end of sentences, and he strung words together too quickly. Even with the microphone, he did not project his voice. Anyone with English as a second language would have been in trouble. My native language is English and I had trouble. I attended Toastmasters for 7 years, so I do know what I am talking about. I kept wishing there were English subtitles so I could understand him. Rachel was FLAWLESS as usual - as a speaker, writer and human being. The guy who interviewed her seemed to have good questions and a good attitude, put Rachel at ease, just needs to take (at least) the basic 6 week Toastmasters class.
Magic City Books did it again! An Evening with Rachel Maddow was wonderful. It was well organized and entertaining. I also learned a great deal about American history that I didn't know.
Rachel Maddow captivated the room of thousands with her expertise, brilliance and witty charm. She was a delight to listen to. Her knowledge of the subject matter was uncanny. I will be anxiously awaiting her return to Oklahoma! Such a gracious individual.
Certainly would have enjoyed the exchange between Rachel and another MSNBC host, but the Book Store guy did a good job. Presentation was exactly as expected. Excellent! Would have loved autograph time, but the crowd was huge! Venue was very nice and seemed to be well run and organized. Only issue was the sky bridge between Cox Business Center and our hotel was closed with no explanation. Crossing the street was an adventure! Definitely worth the price!
