Summary

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to rule on the constitutionality of President Biden’s student debt relief program, Preet speaks with Blake Zeff, a journalist and former political staffer who has made a film about the student debt crisis. Zeff’s film, “Loan Wolves,” traces the origins of the crisis to a little-known provision in a 1998 law. Stay Tuned in Brief is presented by CAFE and the Vox Media Podcast Network.
