  • 360 Student Loans & Donald Kendall

    I have be a regular listener for several years. It’s going to be hard to listen now that Kendall has revealed his distain for the Biden proposed loan payoff, yet will be using it for himself. Hypocrite.

    I paid my loan off.. I hate this program.

  • TOTALLY BONKERS!

    I like listening to this nutty show and its eccentric old presenters. They are sincere and open a window into a weird alternative world. The interview with ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine enthusiast Dr Peter McCullouch was hysterical. Glad this crackpot isn’t my doc!
