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...Read full review »

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

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...Read full review »

As much as i wanted to like this podcast, I’ve determined that the hosts are socialists committed to the elitist woke thinking that is leading this country into ruin. They seem to have no ability to think outside the 3x5 card of mainstream allowable opinion. Very disappointed.

Love the show! RE Fat Leonard the I agree that the lack of morals when our high ranking officials thought no one was looking is astounding, but it leads me to ask what this story says about our culture. That the people who maintain our borders and infrastructure: from privates to admirals and...Read full review »

Used to be higher quality. Not worth your time these days….

This was so embarrassing that I had to unfollow

This is a podcast called “The Realignment” yet features conservatives plugging the same failed center right policies as they have for 40 years. Lots of talk of “changing the culture” since solving the problems discussed on this pod would mean addressing economic problems with a new ideology....Read full review »

First listen: Peter Turchin episode : show seems intellectually humble + honest. Interviewer asks question and then listens to answer without interruption. Whatever bias interviewer may have he does not let it take over. Guest shared a lot of information on his topic. Well done.

Fantastic Noah Smith episode. Because of you two I have hope for the future of our country and a rational path to achieve it. My favorite podcasts in the rotation, by far. I’m glad NS put out Econ 102 and I’d like to hear more of the arsenal of democracy podcast. These are clear views without...Read full review »

If you're looking for some hard-hitting, well-rounded political commentary, look elsewhere. This show is basically Fox News with a fancy coat of paint. In the land of biased media, this show is like the king of the castle. A master class in propaganda, presented with all the subtlety of a...Read full review »

I just hope Marshall finally gets a Time Machine, so he can actually go back in time with his guests and ask the question instead of just saying "say it's 1972…”.Read full review »

John Lovell said some of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard in my life. It’s hilarious that he can’t accept that the number of people who still reason like him is dwindling, and that he would recover a lot faster if he just took full responsibility for his declining following, and made...Read full review »

With each episode raising a new apocalyptic warning it’s different not to be skeptical when it boils down to a book release press run.

I’m starting from episode 1. It’s like time traveling to beginning of the pandemic.

Not a single mention of the only issue that matters - now, in 2024 and beyond - ABORTION. Why are Marshall, Sagar and Henry afraid to touch this issue? The GOP will get right with women’s rights or never hold meaningful political power again.

Listened to one episode, 315, and it was probably the most pessimistic and smug podcast episode I've ever listened to. Both host and guest. If you want to listen to doom and gloom then this is for you. Update: Listened to another episode, 231, and this one was really good. A stark contrast...Read full review »

Marshal is gutless. Pathetic. Has become a dump for woke r-words and washed up war hawks feigning disbelief that the populace views their forever wars as criminal enterprise.
Chris Mottola via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/23
This is my favorite political podcast. They always have a diverse group of guests and a diverse group of ideas being presented, always being presented in a non condescending way which other podcasts lack. I appreciate Marshall letting guests speak their mind and responding rather than trying to...Read full review »

So appreciate Mr. Holman’s shoutout. This is a very interesting, very well done podcast.
nortbynorthwest via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/31/22
For a current events/politics podcast that is based on a jumbled “realignment” of politics, it has now devolved into bringing in smart high end guests with little to no push back on the guest’s intended narrative. Noah Smith episode is a good example. The host let’s him go unchecked as he makes...Read full review »

A year ago this was one of my favorite podcasts, now I find myself listening to one out of every ten episodes, max. I think there are two problems, which may or may not be interconnected: - First, Saagar’s role in the show has been substantially diminished. He used to participate in most of the...Read full review »

Big fan of the show, but every time I here the theme show music it gives me a very Calvin and Hobbesian-Rocket ship underpants kinda feeling of what is gonna come next in terms of the discourse.

Unicorn blend of education, humility, intellect, youth, experience, exuberance and wisdom. Not maxed out in all of the above, but high enough scores to make for an excellent (not “excrement”, spellcheck!) pod.
Codybroken via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/22
Interesting topics and conversations. I may not agree with all the guests, but that would be pretty boring, lol. Marshall has a great voice & calm demeanor. He could challenge the guests a bit more & probably would make it even better :)
overelle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/14/22
Why is this now a woke, left leaning show?
jessica fig via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/22
Most of the shows are great and informative. The Ricks episode was laughable. File it under fiction. Good to hear Saagar without Krystal.
AustinBuff27 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/22
I used to look forward to the this pod, but it is close to becoming an unfollow.

TemudjinFromATL via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/15/22
Guy has some good shows but the majority is nonsense held with zero evidence. You can get the same shpeel he’s pushing by watching cnn. Pick your episodes wisely and it’s worth a listen.
foxcskid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/22
Also so great to hear Saagar w/o Krystal

It’s becoming addictive to hear well informed, passionate and common sense solutions for ideas that modern society is facing.
88KevT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/22
I used to like Saagar, even when he went on Fox News or other places and regurgitated the party line talking points for the day. However, after listening to the latest episode, the blatant ignorance regarding JFK’s foreign policy (e.g. “the JFK admin orchestrated the coup in Vietnam”) and basic...Read full review »

The Realignment is one of those podcasts that is pretty regularly going to make you uncomfortable by challenging your presuppositions. Marshall and Saager are both excellent interviewers and manage to ask insightful, thoughtful, and probing questions without disintegrating into partisan hackery....Read full review »

Love the podcast I’ve been a listener for a while keep up the great work! Loved your latest interview with Peter Zeihan he was an excellent guest!
Jarret Levine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/22
Great job by Marshall standing his ground today interviewing Ian Bremmer who really comes across as a bully from the Right. Interrupts Ian seamlessly to continue the conversation intelligently. Breadth of knowledge is admirable. Thanks for your work

Marshall in particular is a very, very strong interviewer. Super relevant topics and much needed even handedness and thoughtfulness.
Dodez via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/22
I really appreciate Marshall and Saagar’s perspective and approach to interviewing a variety of guests on challenging topics. It’s so rare to find a podcast like this. Thanks Marshall and Saagar! Keep up the great work.

If only I wasn’t indebted to the United States Government, $425 a month for the next 17 years, I would be able to donate and become a lifetime member.
Cjc1514 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/22
Marshall is a little too much of a bleeding heart to be doing these interviews solo lol. Still a good podcast tho!
Jagger_Brady via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/29/22
Hi guys, love the show! My question is about voter suppression. Growing up as a Republican in Washington State, I always assumed voter suppression in the 21st century was simply a talking point for Democrats when they lost elections. However, as I’ve moved more to the center (thanks to shows like...Read full review »
