Michelle and Bill are back—and riding high on the (very brief) glory of successfully launching Swoonpies and Money! In this episode, they attempt to rest on their laurels... but quickly discover there is really not much to celebrate. Executive Producer Alex Fuentes joins the party, breaking down Spotify and Apple analytics to uncover who tuned in—and which segment ghosted them entirely - hint: Z.

Plus: the mysterious hooey-hooey guy is unmasked, an enthusiastic new member joins the Swoonie ranks, and we debut a brand-new segment, "How I Got Here," hosted by the ever-insightful Emily Baldwin from the University of Georgia, featuring Katie Conrad from Georgia Tech and Jessica Ly from Florida International University.

Be one of the cool kids and listen now before Swoonie Mania is a thing.

In the debut episode of Swoonpies and Money, co-hosts Michelle and Bill introduce listeners to SASFAA’s brand-new podcast — a space where financial aid, community, and a little Southern flavor come together. They outline what listeners can expect in future episodes, including timely updates, special guests, professional insights, and plenty of laughs along the way.

The episode wraps up with a lively recap of the recent SASFAA Annual Conference, highlighting key moments, memorable sessions, and the magic of reconnecting with colleagues from across the region.
