Putting Student Loans Episode Behind a Paywall?

قبل ٦ أيام

C_CUBED

C’mon, Slate, you can do better. Or you can stop releasing “new” episodes on the general feed that require a Slate + membership to access. This episode, really, shouldn’t be hid behind a paywall. I’m thinking no one at Slate actually suffers the burden of student loans …. Like the pod; this is a bit tone deaf, though …

I have loved this podcast for a while but since the new administration i have found the angles and guests to be even more insightful. Today’s episode with Stephanie Ruhle focused so eloquently on all the right things to become considering right now. Thank you for your great work!

I am aware of Snyder’s work. I read the article. But the emotional gut punch from listening to this podcast left me reeling. My heart breaks for these women. I want to thank Snyder for her work & I want to thank Harris for shining a light on it.
