Laughable
I never listened before, but I checked out episode 600 and was just laughing the entire time. The president of Fordham going on about Jesuit values, ethics, discernment, and caring for the poor all while Fordham charges 60k for tuition on top of at least 20k for room and board. Fordham is known to be extremely expensive and stingy with financial aid compared to other colleges in big cities like NYC and Los Angeles. They cater to the wealthy.

I gave it one extra star because it did I make me laugh.
