Rachel Maddow is launching a new six-episode podcast called “Burn Order” on MS NOW, exploring the history of unlawful detention during World War II. The series will also connect past policies to current issues with detention facilities in America.
MSNBC has rebranded as MS NOW, but its leading talent remains active with new projects. Rachel Maddow is launching a new six-episode podcast titled “Rachel Maddow Presents: Burn Order”, set to debut next month.
The series will explore the unlawful detention of immigrants and U.S. citizens during World War II. It will highlight the government officials who promoted these policies through lies and racial stereotypes, as well as the internal efforts to prevent the implementation of these detention plans before they took effect.
Listeners will hear firsthand accounts of communities terrorized on the streets, with individuals forcibly removed from their homes and sent to remote, hastily built detention camps. The podcast will also cover the secret destruction of government records to hide the illegal basis of these policies, and a surprising discovery that ultimately exposed the truth.
As similar detention facilities are being constructed again in the United States, “Burn Order” recounts how, during the Reagan era, the country vowed never to pursue such policies again.
This podcast is Maddow’s fifth project with the network. MS NOW also features other audio programs, including “The Best People with Nicolle Wallace,” “Why Is This Happening? The Chris Hayes Podcast,” “The Blueprint with Jen Psaki,” “Main Justice with Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord,” “Into America with Trymaine Lee,” and “Velshi Banned Book Club.”
“Rachel Maddow Presents: Burn Order” will premiere on December 1.
