Brilliant & compelling

A fascinating look at Britney’s life & how she ended up being robbed of her civil liberties. Tess & Babs are so funny & warm yet ruthless in their pursuit of truth & justice. This is a MUST listen, whether you’re a Britney fan or not.

Compelling and well produced

Only two episodes and im already hooked! Great & surprising interviews. The treatment is spot on, this isn't an opportunistic salacious celeb takedown, there’s a big emphasis on context, this is a very thoughtfully produced yet addictive listen
