This week's theme is Britney: As Told Through Podcasts. The curator is Jeannie Yandel, co-host of Battle Tactics For Your Sexist Workplace

Why did Jeannie choose this theme? "The conversation about Britney Spears and her conservatorship is a conversation about power. You might think that one of the most famous people in the world, with hundreds of millions of record sales to her name, would hold an incredible amount of power. But Britney's case illustrates how stunningly easy it is to rob someone of their power and agency in plain sight — and if it can happen to someone as visible as Britney, it's very clearly happening to people with less visibility and fame."
