In this episode, Brittany calls journalist Drew Jubera, who was originally assigned to the GQ story that led to Last Chance U on Netflix. (In fact, he even came up with the title.)
This episode is the first time we really hear from Brittany about some of her favorite (and least favorite) memories from the show, including controversial figures (Coach Buddy Stevens) and beloved students (Ronald Ollie).
She asks Drew about Stevens - is he really an a**hole? - and Drew's favorite memories from Scooba, Miss. From old Coke machines to summer practice fields to why Drew thinks a junior college player led to the Patriots winning the Super Bowl two years ago, this episode is a fascinating listen.

This week, Brittany diagnoses the problems of poverty in education. No one chooses to be poor. And children have no say whatsoever.
Why punish kids who can't afford school supplies, or school clothes? What does that teach them and how does that impact them later in life?
And what can we do about this national crisis?
