    Celebrity Book Club: Britney Spears with Eve Lindley, Part 1

    Celebrity Book Club: Britney Spears with Eve Lindley, Part 1

    This month celebrity correspondent Eve Lindley came by to tell us about Britney Spears' memoir The Woman in Me. In this episode we get into Britney's family history, her childhood, her years of searching for stardom, and her life until the eve of "...Baby One More Time." 

    This is an exploration of Britney, of girlhood, of fame, of art, and of everything else we could fit in.  And, at a certain point, talking about Britney turns into talking about the care we want to offer each other and ourselves. So please take good care out there. We're pretty sure it's what Britney wants for us. 

    A content warning—in this episode we talk about mental health struggles, and a part of the story around minute 22 involves suicide.

My newest hyperfixation

This podcast is my newest obsession! Having lived through so many of the topics & have this perspective is priceless. I love this show & tell everyone about it. Also, I still have the ‘94 Olympic Figure Skating on VHS!

You're wrong about podcasting

Tried to listen but the recording quality is garbage. He sounds like he's in an empty concrete room standing 5 feet away from the mic. Her compressed audio is sloppily ripped from zoom. I don't know how people listened to this. Shameful.

Extremely Insightful

Can’t believe I’m only finding out about this show now, but excited to have the backlog to listen to. This show is particularly great for millennials and older, as so much of what we thought we knew about past cultural events was unknowingly shaped by media bias and rumor. It’s so refreshing to revisit these topics with better information and the critical analysis of the hosts. Every episode is packed with great points.
