Oh look....here he is...

....Christopher Penn....the guy who runs FinancialAidPodcast.com . This is the anti-Collinge.

But first a little background. Penn works for the Student Loan Network. They're a Boston area based student lending organization. They have an iteresting spin. The Student Loan Network focuses all of their advertising/marketing/promotion on educating potential customers on the product, the process, on why....all that good stuff. Of course they always steer you to their services, but hey, it's a great idea. They immediately establish trust by positioning themselves as an advocate of the potential customer.

But they do a pretty good job of keeping their self-promotion to a minimum and the information they disseminate is excellent.

In fact, there has already been a Christopher Penn vs Alan Collinge encounter. Collinge appeared as a guest on Penn's podcast. We haven't listened yet, but will do so once this is posted. But check out today's podcast: it's Penn appealing to lawmakers to be reasonable. Go Chris!
