  • Host talks more than guest

    Marshall- we know you are smart. But you need to pontificate less and engage with the guest more. The guest is why I listen. Not to hear you go on and on.

  • Marshall Kosloff is a barrel of manic sentence fragments. Tune into The Realignment and listen as the barrel is tipped and poured into his microphone. Give it a try and if it works for you, you may become a fan.

  • No longer interesting

    This used to be one of my favorite podcasts with interesting conversations addressing multiple topics, eras, and perspectives. I found great value it it’s dynamism and energy. Now, I find its singular focus on the abundance agenda flat and frankly boring. I have no issue with the abundance agenda as a whole but it’s just not a topic I care to hear about weekly. This podcast used to generate interesting conversations over dinner or long car rides but now I just remove it from my feed.
