PS: There appear to be gaps or breaks, but I had to put in audio that was missing -- and I used the channel of  http://www.youtube.com/user/MrThemastercleanser and audio from sources such as this link:

It is believed that this show is not posted in violation of copyright, based on a close scrutiny of the 'Copyright' link on Coast To Coast's website:
http://www.premiereinteractive.com/legal/#trademark which says in relevant part that I "may not, and agree that you will not, reproduce...products obtained from or through this Clear Channel Website, in whole or in part, without the express written permission of Clear Channel."

Since this was obtained off air (you can hear the sound quality of this file -and also another file from this user -which has the radio station's FCC id, etc.), then it seems exempt.

Furthermore, it is only a small part of the whole, and it's believed this is covered by Fair Use.

Lastly, since many others are posting much more than this small snippet, it seems that it is OK.

Anyhow, here is what the show details:

Comments: I normally don't buy into conspiracies, but this one qualifies.

Student Loan Scam - Fri 27 - Sat 28 May 2011

Host: Ian Punnett 
Guests: Alan Collinge  
In the first hour, Ian Punnett welcomed the founder of StudentLoanJustice.org, Alan Collinge, who discussed how federal student loans have become predatory, turning a generation into debtor slaves. "It's a socially horrible epidemic," he declared, noting that America's total student loan debt now surpasses the nation's credit card debt. He explained that student loans are particularly pernicious because they contain no consumer safeguards such as bankruptcy protection, statute of limitations, or the ability to re-finance the debt in an open market. As a result of these factors, Collinge said, when a loan is defaulted, it can double or even triple due to penalties and fees.

In looking at the source of the problem, Collinge pointed to student loan advocates and the Department of Education as the key entities that "failed to play their part" in overseeing lending practices. According to him, the DOE has been using a faulty metric to determine the default rate on student loans, thus misleading Congress into increasing the allowable limits on colleges for lending. Additionally, Collinge said, the DOE actually makes "about 22% versus what they pay out" for defaulted student loans. In order to fix the student loan epidemic, Collinge endorsed restoring bankruptcy protections for these loans. Should that happen, he said, "a multitude of problems" will resolve themselves, including an "almost overnight" drop in college tuitions.
