The Realignment

Marshall is one of the most effective podcast hosts. His ability to interview the world’s leading thinkers and draw from his own vast knowledge about foreign and domestic affairs makes this truly the bleeding edge of thought and discussion on these topics. I find myself envying Marshall and his ability to go toe to toe with the world’s leading thinkers on topics as diverse as the war in Ukraine, and US housing policy. Huge kudos to Marshall and the guests for providing one of the most important forums of discussion on critical topics of the day.

Marshall comes across as doing his best to be intellectually honest and maintains some humility when expressing his opinions, many of which I don’t even agree with. Saagar is the opposite and I find his delivery and lack of humility obnoxious. Fortunately he’s barely ever on anymore. I struggle to even finish anything that he is on.

This is a pretty useful exploration of a historic political evolution that is happening in real time. Unrelated: I would suggest a drinking game. Every time Marshall starts a list by saying “one” or “A” and never comes back to finish the list with “two” or “B” - take a drink.

Realignment has a refreshing neutral tone
