  • Just brilliant

    I’ve been listening to Principle of Charity for several years and it never fails to deliver on its intent. In a world of fixed opinions so often formed in the absence of considering the position of ‘the other side’, this podcast is like a balm. Amazing range of topics covered and always thought provoking. Thank you to all involved!
