- Interesting take on a big story
In a saturated market this is a really great story telling and investigative bent on this story. First episode I really enjoyed and the host and can’t believe Perez Hilton is on this show. Keen for the second episode.

Australia4 years ago - Gimme More on this Circus!
If you only listen to one podcast about Britney, make it this one! It is a well-researched, insightful and engaging exploration of everything leading up to the star's current fight for freedom. The presenter Edwina is a warm and sophisticated host, and her experience as a journalist lends itself beautifully to this format, cutting through the hype and spin to help you understand what's really at play here. Can't wait to dive even deeper in the next ep!
Apple Podcasts5Qwop qwopAustralia4 years ago - Super interesting listen
Can't believe that I have been a lover of britney for so long without knowing what was going on behind the scenes. Really enjoying the pod and looking forward to more epiosdes.
Apple Podcasts5HorsesForCourses666Australia4 years ago - Love!
Omg I love this! I love the chat to the conservatorship experts. I’m still gobsmacked that there’s a mental health one that terminates after a year. Why did they not put her on that?!? They were out to control her from the beginning!
Apple Podcasts5ChristinaCavAustralia4 years ago - In love!
So tastefully done. A well known story told in a completely original way.
Apple Podcasts5luucuu8590Australia4 years ago - First ep has me hooked!
Thought I was numb to britney content, but this had me hooked. Really interesting listen.
Apple Podcasts5Hannah BowmanAustralia4 years ago - Well produced but not needed
I feel hesitant to write this because this is a new podcast, but there are already so many podcasts about Britney, it’s like this show is super late onto the bandwagon. I didn’t hear anything I haven’t already heard in documentary’s or other podcasts. But it was well produced, I’m sure the other seasons will be good.
Apple Podcasts4wowgirl234Australia4 years ago - AMAZING first episode!
Can’t wait for the next one
Apple Podcasts5tubepigAustralia4 years ago - A crystal clear look at life inside the asylum
Loved this podcast! I have zero interest in Britney Spears, but stumbled across this excellent listen. Editorial rigour, great presenter and fascinating guests. I enjoyed hearing the presenter’s measured journo style bringing sanity to an insane situation. I’ll look out for more of her work.
Apple Podcasts5PeppermintGonzalezAustralia4 years ago - The best of the lot
I’ve listened to heaps of Britney podcasts, but this one is the best. Well told, well researched and loads of fascinating guests who were actually there as it happened. Can’t wait for the next episode! Well done.
Apple Podcasts5SourbabysleeperAustralia4 years ago - Loved it.
