I finished Burn Order and cried. Time to write lesson plans for students to learn about then and now!

Absolutely incredible. The team did an amazing job. As in the previous podcasts the research, facts, human stories so well done. I’ve learned more about this history that informs us today. We must never give in or give up our rights. We require courts and elected to hold & honor these truths.

Great show. Come back!

Just finished the podcast today. It was brilliant.

Great podcast. Rachel is a consummate professional and so smart. She does justice to telling your story. I have long yearned to know more about that chapter in our history. It has been an honor to get to know you all a little bit via the podcast.

Thank you for this work. I was 17 when I first learned about the imprisonment of Japanese Americans and legal immigrants. I was so shocked by it. I am half-Japanese (dad is white from Oregon, mom from Kyushu). My American grandmother was opposed to their marriage her entire life 1/2

Anti-Japanese racism was a destructive force in our family, sadly. I didn't know why she believed these things and now I do. I asked my three kids to listen to this series and to imagine all of us on the trains because they would have been sent away, too...to really picture how it would feel...

and then to keep it in mind as we hear similar rhetoric directed at other people. Thank you so much for this important work. You are a hero of mine! I admire so much the Japanese Americans who fought against this treatment and who demanded more from our country....

I’ve asked my entire family to listen to the Burn Order podcast between now and Christmas so we can discuss it. 👊🏻

Onstage, @maddow.bsky.social put us at ease with questions that were so focused and specific, it was easy to share our thoughts with her wildly engaged audience of 1,900 in the ornate Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles. 2/

It's simplified, yes, but by framing the story as a thriller she gets the message across that, as she puts it, history can help in times of crisis. Looking forward to meeting her in person in LA at the live launch event at the Orpheum Theater on December 14.
