The Waves: Free Britney. From Her Fans.

On this week’s episode of The Waves, Nicole Lewis, former Slate
senior editor and Daisy Rosario, senior supervising producer of
audio at Slate, talk about Britney…bitch. Mega-pop star Britney
Spears is trying to navigate her life after being released from the
court order that gave her father almost total control of her life.
But the fans that put her conservatorship in the spotlight still
can’t let her go. Nicole and Daisy unpack the toxic relationship
between Britney Spears and fame—as well as whether there’s a way to
be a fan without contributing to the damage. In Slate Plus, is the
TNFW Nique rap Baby Daddy Free about abortion feminist?
