Public Defenseless explores the rot in the justice system and what we can do about it. Join host, Hunter Parnell, as he interviews top defense attorneys and criminal justice stakeholders from across the country as they pull apart the convoluted web of our criminal justice system. Like so many of you, Hunter is not an attorney, simply tired of a news cycle and talking heads that offer no real solutions to the ever-growing list of problems we face. Hunter hopes that with this information, you will share his belief that ordinary people still can make a difference.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-25T22:17:22.371695+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/public-defenseless-4627959"},"episode":{"title":"476 | What Can Public Defender Organizations Do to Help People With Their Student Debt? w/Jane Fox and Alexi Shalom","slug":"476-what-can-public-defender-organizations-do-to-help-people-with-their-student-debt-w-jane-fox-and-alexi-shalom","published_at":"2026-05-14T13:53:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/public-defenseless-4627959/476-what-can-public-defender-organizations-do-to-help-people-with-their-student-debt-w-jane-fox-and-alexi-shalom","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/public-defenseless-4627959","url":"https://publicdefenseless.libsyn.com/476-what-can-public-defender-organizations-due-to-help-people-with-their-student-debt-wjane-fox-and-alexi-shalom","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/traffic.libsyn.com/secure/publicdefenseless/Final_Student_Loans_Audio.mp3?dest-id=3187490","summary":"Today, Hunter was joined once again by Jane Fox and for the first time Alexi Shalom.
