#FreeBritney Is Still Feminist Discourse

*Due to Covid lockdowns in Sydney we weren't able to record a new episode this week. But in light of the Britney Spears conservatorship updates, we're republishing our #FreeBritney episode with a new introduction. So it's like a preface to a second edition of a book*

This week we discuss the #FreeBritney movement and its relevance to feminist discourse. 

We talk about Britney Spear’s conservatorship and the conversations it opens around conspiracy theories, the financial subjugation of vulnerable women, and the bodily autonomy of those with disabilities.
