SPENCER LODGE
About this episode

The #FreeBritney movement has brought attention to Britney Spears’13-year-long conservatorship battle and has raised questions about what conservatorships are, why they are necessary and who they benefit. In this episode I am joined by Scott E. Rahn, a Los Angeles attorney specialising in conservatorships. Scott explains Britney Spears’ unique situation, the difficult legal problems she’s faced, and how all sorts of people find themselves entangled in conservatorship nightmares. Note: this episode was recorded prior to Britney’s father announcing on August 12th that he would step down as her conservator.
