Summary
A #FreeBritney deep dive covering the career and conservatorship of the inimitable Britney Jean Spears. This week, Kate takes on a highly requested and unbelievably layered topic, the #FreeBritney movement. Side A contains the discussion of a lot of the speculation, memes, and twitter threads, along with a full timeline from 1999; side B (will be posted a bit later) is a recorded conversation Kate had with an incredible licensed probate attorney (Rebecca Grant) who will help her deep dive into the nature of a probate conservatorship. Understandably, there’s a big piece of info that’s sealed about this case, so everything is speculation, but they’ll fact check the theories discussed in the first episode and answer the big questions to the best of their ability. For example: What can and can't a conservator force her to do? Is she being forced to work? Why can't she hire her own attorney? Why would they check the dementia box for a 26-year-old woman? How is she, now 38, still in this incredibly restrictive conservatorship and deemed to be incapacitated, yet appear to work, tour, rehearse, run an empire, etc. successfully? All this and more on this 2-part Be There in Five Deep Dive!

| 0:36.9 | free Britney movement stuff I've seen and then I kind of go back through her history |
| 0:41.3 | and figure out how we got to this point. |
| 0:43.7 | So this is the deep dive of like the meat of the movement and of the era of the incessent |
