How did these United States get so thoroughly partisan? How do we get less partisan? Can independent-minded Americans help bridge the divide? 

These questions lie behind this first and every episode of The Purple Principle, a podcast about the perils of partisanship in US politics, society and daily life. Episode 1 is a fast-paced lap around the subject, introducing upcoming guests from the fields of psychology, computer science, politics and political science, as well as non-partisan activists and prominent independent Americans. 

Original music composed and created by Ryan Adair Rooney.
