About this episode

Britney Spears has been in the headlines since she was 16; from global pop princess, to very public breakdown, to a battle in court to free her from a conservatorship she says she never needed or wanted.

Tomorrow her tell-all memoir The Woman in Me will hit bookshops across the world, promising to reveal her journey in her own words for the very first time. So, what have we learnt already from leaks of the book? And what impacts will it have on pop culture and our understanding of the world of fame... and Britney herself?

In this extra episode of The Briefing, we speak to entertainment reporter and host of LiSTNR’s The Streaming Service, Justin Hill, to find out.
