Rachel Maddow is set to debut her new podcast, 'Burn Order,' under the MS NOW banner on December 1. The podcast will explore the U.S. government's decision during World War II to incarcerate immigrants
and citizens based on race. Maddow's series aims to shed light on the officials who fueled this policy with racial stereotypes and the internal efforts to prevent its implementation. This podcast marks Maddow's first since MSNBC's rebranding to MS NOW, and it continues her tradition of engaging with historical and political narratives.
