If you follow Rachel Maddow's extracurriculars, this is going to be a busy, and maybe a little confusing, month. I'm going to try to offer highlights from the "Drift" book tour but it's becoming increasingly apparent that I'm going to miss some items. And obviously there's going to be a lot of redundancy anyway, so I'm not too hung up on catching every single thing. (If there's something you're trying to find, my first recommendation is the fine work by MaddowFans.com, but otherwise, let me know and I'll see if I can hunt it down through our marketing people.)
Today's haul: The one I've been anticipating (and I know Rachel was excited for this as well) is the interview with Terry Gross on NPR's Fresh Air. (If you're reading this on a mobile device and that embedded player isn't showing up, try here.)
Elsewhere, the Washington Post published her Op-Ed online today (we think that means its in the dead tree edition tomorrow).
She did two segments last night with David Letterman. I don't find those as stand-along clips, so you have to skip to just past the middle in the full episode.
She talked with Andrea Mitchell this afternoon, and Matt Lauer this morning, and I'm going to include the "drinks" tag on this post for her (albeit brief) discussion of the French 75 with Hoda and Kathie Lee earlier today:

Congratulations on the book Rachel, I particularly liked the appearance on MTP, but today's rounds were great as well. I already got my copy too, gonna dive right in quite soon :) Best wishes and many thanks for your many contributions!
Got Drift today, and fell over when I read the dedication. This is gonna be good reading. Don't ignore your show too much during your book tour.
By the way, during your commercial breaks, what are you typing so furiously? Just curious.
I'm still waiting for my copy. It should be here soon. I preordered it on Amazon. Will Rachel be anywhere on the West Coast to sign it?
Ditto.
LA?
Rachel will be making appearances in Seattle, Portland, LA, and San Francisco
How many nights will we have to go without Rachel????
I wanna read Drift, I will put it on my list.
Congratulations, You really deserve this, you're a good person. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person. My new Summer reading book. Thank you for making this blog possible. I learn something new everyday. I can truly say I am a better person because of it.
Yes, congratulations, enjoyed the interview with Terry Gross. Looking forward to the autographed copy after you visit Portland, OR. Powell's is giving Drift good online presence - and i am grateful - walk gently and again, congratulations!
Waiting-to-catch-a-DRIFT :D
Rachel Maddow talking to Terry Gross! Have I died and gone to heaven?
I wondered the same thing this morning when I happened to catch the last half of the interview on my way to a chemo treatment. (Hopefully someone would have told me I was dead and I could have skipped the treatment.)
Of course Republicans are schizo about "Healthcare Freedom" vs. "Reproductive Freedom." They only want the "freedom" that they dictate!!
From a liberal military spouse of 18years, THANK YOU Rachel! I am ordering the book now!
There aren't many of us liberals amongst the active duty military or spouses, but we are here and we do listen and we do vote. It's wonderful to have the best of Progressive Politics publically noticing and acknowledging the sacrifices our families have made every day for the past 10 years. Keep up the good work!
The Howard Stern Show. Rachel was on The Howard Stern Show this morning. You should mention that. She seemed to think it was significant. And she was great on the show. They loved her.
Love Drift great job
It's everything I'd hoped it would be
