  • Rosie is an amazing storyteller

    I could literally listen to Rosie tell the gist of how to make a tuna fish sandwich. She is so good with her research, details, and passion behind every topic she shares. She is so captivating. I’ve told my husband so many ‘gists’ of what she’s shared. I’m so glad you’re back, Rosie! You are loved from a liberal, non Trump supporter in Tennessee, USA!

Q: What was the core claim about Frank's impact on students and financial aid?
The hosts explain that Javice portrayed Frank as a game-changing tool that would help first-generation students access financial aid more easily, but in practice the platform offered limited real value beyond a simplified form-filling process, using aggressive PR to imply broader impact.
