Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra, the lesbian MSNBC host’s podcast about efforts to spread Nazi propaganda in the U.S. and overthrow American democracy in the 1940s, has received the 2023 Hillman Prize for Broadcast Journalism, marking the first time the prize has gone to a podcast.

The award is bestowed by the Sidney Hillman Foundation, named for a union leader who was a key figure in President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal. The Hillman Prizes have been presented annually since 1950 to the daily, periodical, and labor press as well as authors and broadcasters. The prize program “aims to honor and foster investigative reporting and deep storytelling in service of the common good,” according to the foundation’s website.
