    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.

Langa Sigodi ,

A weekly conversation with your best friends

The best compliment I can give these two is that this podcast feels like a conversation with your best friends. With your friends sometimes you will strongly disagree, many times you’ll laugh and often too they will leave you with something deeply profound and empathetic to dwell on.

Deeply empathetic and of course fantastically well researched. Cannot recommend enough

Edification in ‘pod’ form

Thank you Sarah & Mike for your deeply empathetic and personal looks into iconic books & relevant topics. Your honest & humourous ‘deep dives’ have taught me so much about cultural ‘progress’ & human evolution over the decades. I’ve gained so many valuable insights listening to your conversations. I feel your podcast has made me more aware & ultimately a better person. Thank you for enriching my life 💛

Aha Rosen ,

More deep-dives please!!!!

I am OBSESSED w/ this podcast!!!! The structure, the jokes, the content, everything 😭😭 I especially love your deep-dive multi-episode mini-series & I’d love to hear more please 🙏🏼 also, I think it would be really cool for you guys to maybe do some more international episodes?? I live in South Africa & there’s a whole bunch over here to look at… like the fact that Nelson Mandela was a raging sexist, the Marikana Massacre in 2012, the Gupta State Capture or even the Woman’s March in 1956 just to name a few 🤷🏽‍♀️ much love guys xx
