With the rise of the #FreeBritney movement, which seeks to release Spears from a conservatorship between herself and her father Jaime Spears, many want to help.

If you’re one of those people who wants to take a deeper dive into this legal battle then sit tight and be prepared to do a lot of listening.
One of the most enduring outlets for information on the reclusive Spears has come from podcasts. After all, the recent popularity of the #FreeBritney movement has been spearheaded by the podcast Britney’s Gram. The concept was initially conceived as fun and lighthearted fare by comedians Tess Barker and Barbara Gray. Aimed at overanalyzing Britney’s sometimes odd and eclectic Instagram posts the hosts quickly realized that there is a deeper message to the posts that Britney shares with the world. Anyone who watched Framing Britney Spears will remember the women’s appearance in the documentary. If you want more information about Britney, the conservatorship, and her cryptic posts then you can find episodes of Britney’s Gram on the podcast’s official website for free!
Britney’s Gram isn’t the only podcast giving us the latest news on everything Britney Spears. Framing Britney Spears made many see the singer’s career in a newfound light, but in the podcast Eat, Pray, Britney is examining her entire career in a feminist light. The most recent episode explores Britney’s film debut in 2002’s Crossroads and how the film was initially hated upon release because of its female cast and crew. Also, if you’re someone who loves keeping track of your sources Eat, Pray, Britney has an extensive bibliography to dive into if you want to do your own independent research. Another highly recommended podcast is It’s Britney, Bitch! hosted by longtime Britney stans T. Kyle and Bradley Stern. Each episode dives into a year of Britney’s long and storied career.
