Thanks for a better understanding of a topic close to home. Thanks, Deans.
Adding this to my short list of Rhode Island podcasts. Must-listen for keeping up with local personalities, news + law & changemakers.
The host and RWU continue to violate federal civil rights law.
Political drivel jumped up and pretending to be thoughtful. Think of how much each student gets buried in student debt for this to exist.
So interesting, engaging and thought provoking!
This podcast is a breath of fresh air! Rhode Island’s own! I look forward to more episodes!
