**Due to a mistake on my part, the episode, although recorded several weeks ago, didn't make it to the directory until May 31st. My apologies. **

In this episode, I give an update on the state of student loans in the United States.

At one point, I said $330 and $350 million, when I meant BILLION with a B. Huge difference.
