We discuss the tentative ceasefire negotiations in Gaza. Then, we share a conversation with an independent college admissions counselor about what’s going on with the FAFSA application this year and how that rolling disaster is impacting students and families across the country.

TOPICS DISCUSSED

• Tentative Ceasefire Negotiations in Gaza
• FAFSA Complications with Sara Bittner
• Outside of Politics: Summer Aspirations

CORRECTION: The Pell Grant does not run out. There are lifetime limits per student on the Pell Grant and basically every other grant that exists is first-come, first-served, but not Pell. Pell is always available. We are in the process of omitting this statement from the episode and will also correct it on Friday’s episode.

Sarah & Beth Podcasters

Pantsuit Politics is a podcast for real conversations that help us understand politics, democracy, and the news - while still treating each other like thoughtful human beings. We take a different approach to the news; our political analysis blends hard facts with important social and cultural undercurrents so you don’t miss the big picture. Over years of discussing everything from abortion to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we established basic rules of engagement, which we describe in our books, Now What? How to Move Forward When We’re Divided (About Basically Everything) (2022) and I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening): A Guide to Grace-Filled Political Conversation (2019). Listeners describe us as “America’s political therapists” and “our trusted, smarter friends who can help us make sense of the world.”
