Eat, Pray, Britney

Eat, Pray, Britney

Britney Spears was under a conservatorship from 2008 to 2021 where all her financial and personal decisions had to be approved by her conservators, including her father, Jamie Spears. Britney earned hundreds of millions of dollars during that time, performing and touring extensively, while being deemed too impaired by the courts to be in control of her life. Britney is one of the most recognizable celebrities in the world, yet very little of the massive media coverage she generated focused on the conservatorship until the #FreeBritney movement grew within the last few years before the restrictive legal arrangement finally ended. Now that the conservatorship has been terminated, there are still an enormous amount of unanswered questions, including whether those responsible for the conservatorship will be held accountable for what Britney experienced during those 13+ years. Eat, Pray, Britney tries to draw attention to the restrictive constraints Britney was under during the conservatorship, as well as her current pursuit of justice, while also examining her life and career through a feminist lens.

Dirty Laundering

In this episode, we try to make up for everything we missed (but mostly fail!).  We start with a rare discussion on Lurking Larry, move quickly to KFed's concerns about "privacy," wonder about JL's new reality tv show and wade through the email waters of TriStar.  Oh, yeah, and eventually we get to talking about Britney's fatshaming post, her latest voice memos, and everything else under the IG sun!

Villains and Voice Memos

In this episode, we do a quick roundup of Hold Me Closer, a few Hade Cudson exclusives, and court happenings.  However, most of our discussion focuses on Britney's 22-minute voice memo. When Britney speaks, we listen (and then speak about it for 90 minutes)!

Go Call the Gov'nah

In this episode we catch up on a number of court updates, exclusives, and IG posts.  We discuss Tri-Stars stall tactics, which family members are most likely to sue Britney, Britney's back and forth with her mom on IG, and her text records vs. her old soul-sister, Jansen's.  We somehow find time to toss in a discussion about the documentaries and catch some late breaking news about an iconic duet partner!

Revenge Deposition

In this episode, we throw back to Sam?s GQ interview, review some post-wedding news including a letter Jason Alexander wrote to Lynne Spears from a jail cell, and dish on the damning discovery Rosengart?s team dug up in Jamie Spears and Lou Taylor?s emails. We discuss Lou?s intention to remove Bryan Spears from Britney?s trust immediately after establishing the conservatorship, how she worked with Jamie?s attorneys to shop for an agreeable judge, and how TriStar was meant to be a co-conservator. Finally, we tie off the show with Britney?s revealing and introspective Instagram posts.

In this episode, we take a break from the never-ending news cycle and dive into some of Britney?s less memorable, but still iconic, moments.

Pepsi's Pepsi

As we wrap up another Super Bowl in the US, we kick off season 3 by going back to commercial breaks of yore to revisit a golden age of tv spots: Britney's Pepsi ads! Starting with the Joy of Pepsi spot that aired during the 2001 Super Bowl, going to the Pepsi Now and Then spot from 2002 and concluding with the We Will Rock You spot from 2004 (with a few other spots along the way), Britney's Pepsi era was beyond memorable - try not singing along with these!
