The Free Britney Movement and Conservatorship

Jake Of All Trades

Pop Star Britney Spears has been in the news once again, not for making another album, but for a desire to gain her independence back. The 39 year old pop star has what is called a “conservatorship” applied by law on her life. This law, reserved for the very elderly or the mentally ill, allows a guardian control over a person's finances, and in some cases their daily lives. Ms. Spears’ now famous opening statements asking for a release from this conservatorship has been viewed millions and millions of times. In this episode Jake and Kirk discuss what a conservatorship is, how it can affect non-pop stars such as you and us, and whether or not we believe it should exist at all. What do you think?
