Welcome to The Not Quite Podcast, from the bold voice behind Not Quite Politically Correct. Hosted by disabled content creator, speaker, and advocate Charlie Randell, who’s spent nearly a decade challenging norms through his unapologetic brand, this interview-led podcast dives into the conversations most of us shy away from. We talk money. Addiction. Disability and discrimination. Medical drug use. Climate change. Life coaching. And everything else you're told not to bring up at the dinner table.
