Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts. We are joined by attorney Sean Row and Purdue University Student Mason Rottinghaus are the featured guests. We talk about the cost of college, massive student loan debt, and the prospects for getting rid of it. Mason is entering his sophmore year at Purdue. Students have to navigate a myriad of programs, loans, and funding sources. Did you know there isn’t an established sticker price for dorm room selection? Who pays attention when picking their meal plan?

The politico’s are starting to pay attention. Serious proposals from Senator Elizabeth Warren and others have started the conversation. Should the federal government fix this? Should the states or universities be responsible. Oregon has an interesting program. Purdue has the “Back a Boiler Program” and tuition freezes for 8 years and counting. Students sign up for tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands in debt. Eventually, we are all going to pay for it. The question is how and when.

Chris Spangle and Sarah Brady Wagner provide a brief look at the bio, record, and Achilles heel for each Democrat running for President. Like, every single one. We know you won't likely vote for any of them, but at least you'll be better informed once you've listened. We started with the candidates polling highest and worked our way back to the high school football coach with the exploratory committee.

A life earned is a life lived much differently than others. Dale and Hodey had crazy work weeks and talk about the benefits of "psycho week," how freed slaves, the mentally handicapped, and dogs all teach valuable lessons, and what you can earn, both emotionally and physically.
