President Trump spent his pre-political life plastering his name on hotels, golf courses, and casinos. He made cameos in movies and hosted a TV program. Today, he’s hijacking the arts and the internet – trying to legitimize himself and his politics. The Trump administration knows that culture is the frontline of politics. Because if you can control the culture, you can control the people. On “MS NOW Presents: Clock It,” we look at the news through the eyes of people equally conversant in politics and culture. Symone Sanders Townsend’s work inside administrations and campaigns put her at the center of the culture wars, helping candidates navigate the minefields of identity, symbolism, and optics. Eugene Daniels built his career at “Politico” and “Morning Joe” by decoding how pop culture shapes, and sometimes skewers, political figures. On “Clock It,” they invite listeners to take part in their insider conversations. Listen as they analyze the moments when politics and culture bleed into each other as they happen, point out the political games involved, and strategize how to win the war of ideas, memes, and streams.

NEWS
"Rachel Maddow Presents: Burn Order" is the story of one of the most shocking decisions in American history: the executive order to target and round up innocent citizens, Japanese Americans, at the outbreak of World War II. This six-episode narrative podcast will examine and shed new light on how that policy came to be, who was behind it, who attempted to stop it, and the heroism needed to end the policy for good. Brazen lies and stereotypes about a minority group being pushed by senior government officials. Desperate efforts to prevent the policy from going into place. A community terrorized on the streets by the U.S. military, grabbed from their homes and sent to faraway, hastily built detention camps. Government reports gathered up and set on fire to suppress the truth behind the policy. And a bombshell discovery in the unlikeliest of places that would ultimately expose it all. This is the story of the American government's decision to pursue and carry out an extreme and unconstitutional policy against its own citizens, and it's the story of what it finally took to stop it. Rachel Maddow's previous narrative podcasts -- "Bag Man," "Ultra," and "Ultra: Season 2" -- all reached #1 on the Apple podcast charts and have received an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Journalism Award, a Hillman Prize for Broadcast Journalism, and most recently, a 2025 national Edward R. Murrow Award. Her new series, "Rachel Maddow Presents: Burn Order," premieres December 1, 2025.
