Marshall here. Welcome back to the realignment.

Hey everyone, welcome back to the show. After my 4th of July break, I usually break a little later in the summer, but this whole new father thing motivated me to go a little earlier this year.

So I'm looking forward to publishing on a regular schedule the rest of the summer.

For today's episode, I'm joined by journalist and political magazine contributing writer Nancy Scholar.

Nancy and I discuss something near and dear to the realignment's heart.

What explains which ideas and figures went out in D.C.

And how does the evolving media ecosystem, both legacy alternative and new, shape that debate?

We cover a lot of topics in this conversation, so I really hope you enjoy the episode.

Before we dive in, I wanted to share a quick job announcement in the news you can use category

for anyone interested in diving deeper into

the topic. But the realignment spends increasing months of time focused on that topic being,

of course, abundance. Back in March, I mentioned that Open Philanthropy was hiring for the

leadership of its abundance and growth fund. They ended up hiring Matt Clancy, and Matt is now hiring four new members for his

team. They're seeking one to two generalists plus one to three specialists with expertise in

housing policy, energy, infrastructure, state capacity, health care, economic dynamism,

high school immigration, or building abundance slash progress studies, communities. They are seeking to expand their

$120 million press program that's focused on accelerating economic growth and reducing the cost of

living through strategic grant making and research. You can apply to the job for full

consideration by July 27th.

I'll also note that if you know anyone who's a good fit, you can earn $5,000 if your referral results in a hire.

All of that is linked in the show notes.

Once again, hope you enjoy this conversation.
