Announcing Counterbalance
Next Wednesday, Marshall’s launching a new podcast with one of this week’s guests, Michael Doran.
Counterbalance will cover foreign policy, and the first episode will feature an interview with Wisconsin Congressman Mike Gallagher, a previous guest on The Realignment.
You know the deal: rate the podcasts five-stars on Apple and subscribe to get the first episode on Wednesday.
Welcome to The Realignment
We published two episodes this week: Weston Wamp on corruption in Washington, D.C., and Michael Doran on President Biden’s foreign policy.
The Realignment’s Bookshop.org Storefront
As a reminder, we’ve created a Realignment podcast affiliate shop for guest books at bookshop.org. The shop features our guests’ books, including books from Michael Lind, Scott Galloway, Reeves Wiedeman, Ross Douthat, Matt Stoller, and Lisa Napoli.
We’ve built out three Bookshop lists:
1) Our list of the best books we read in 2020
2) All of the books we’ve read so far in 2021
3) Books written by Realignment podcast guests
If you purchase a book using our link, we get a 10% commission, a local bookseller gets supported, and you get an awesome book! Watch this space for new uploads and future lists by topic.
See you next week!
