Britney Spears and Conservatorships with...

Earwolf & Jameela Jamil
About this episode

Comedians, #freebritney activists, journalists, and podcastors Tess Barker & Babs Gray join Jameela this week to discuss all things Britney Spears and conservatorships. They discuss how having a fan-podcast about Britney's instagram led them to learning more about Britney's conservatorship, break down the details of the conservatorship and the consistently questionable methods which were used to keep Britney in it, explore what conservatorships are at large and why the system is so often problematic, cover why Keanu Reeves would be the perfect executor of a trust, and more. To learn more about Tess & Bab's work reporting on Britney Spears' conservatorship, listen to their podcast - Toxic: The Britney Spears Story.
