In 2017, comedians and close friends Tess Barker and Barbara Gray got together to create the podcast Britney’s Gram, a light-hearted and silly analysis of their favourite pop star Britney Spears’s infamous Instagram account.
After receiving an anonymous tip in 2019 with disturbing details of the singer’s ongoing conservatorship, the series took a turn to launch the #FreeBritney movement, a full-scale examination into the legal battle. Now, in the aftermath of her most recent open-court hearing, the duo has launched a new podcast series, titled Toxic: The Britney Spears Story, dedicated entirely to fact-finding, exploring and understanding what went on in Spears’s 13-year-long conservatorship.
