  • Too inconsistent now

    I absolutely love this podcast and it’s concept, but it feels like episodes are never posted on time (or at all a lot of the time) and “encore” episodes are becoming very frequent when it hasn’t really been running long enough. It’s getting worse and worse in recent weeks. I’m not sure why eps aren’t prerecorded well in advance so if you’re having a bad week, you have something to post to keep up consistency. When I reached out on socials about this I got a really passive-aggressive response tha... more

    I’m really not sure what to make of this episode!! It actually made me feel ill.

    Rosie and Kate just seemed to bounce on and off each other’s reactions and whilst saying how bad the death penalty is continued to indicate that she basically deserved it!!

    The death penalty is so barbaric and should not be condoned under any circumstances.

    I usually love your show but this one was just awful.

    PS Kate, please think of words other than ‘WOW’

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.
