We’ve put together a list of some of the best ISA podcast episodes to learn more about the amazing innovations taking place in higher education today.

There are multiple schools, coding bootcamps, and programs including Lambda School and Holberton that are helping students learn new skills and get high-paying jobs faster. Each of these programs also offer an Income Share Agreement (ISA) to open its doors and students only pay for school once they’ve found a high-paying job.


We’re pretty big fans of podcasts here at Meratas. One of the best ways to learn and better understand ideas is by listening to podcasts. We’ve put together a list of some of the best ISA podcast episodes to help you learn more about the amazing innovations taking place in higher education today.

1. a16z Podcast – Are ISAs the solution to Student Debt? 

The a16z Podcast discusses tech and culture trends, news, and the future – especially as ‘software eats the world’. It features industry experts, business leaders, and other curious thinkers and voices from around the world. In “Are Income Share Agreements the Solution to Student Debt?” Lambda School CEO, Austen Allred, dives into the proposal of ISAs:  You go to college for free, then pay back the school after graduation-but only if you’re earning a high enough salary to afford the repayments. 

Student loan debt currently stands at more than 1.5 trillion dollars, which makes it the second-highest consumer debt category besides mortgage debt. The discussion covers both the promises and the challenges of ISAs-why they’ve been relatively slow to gain traction and why some are still skeptical.
