Pieces Of Britney With Pandora Sykes

The story of Britney Spears is one we’re guessing you’re familiar with. Child star from a small town makes it big in the city, only to grow up in front of the cameras, turn into a pop icon and then breaks down from the pressure and becomes tabloid fodder.  So what actually happened to Britney Spears?  Pandora Sykes is a British journalist and the host of BBC4’s new audio documentary series, Pieces Of Britney. In this series, she pieces together what we know about her story, and what it tells us about sex, entertainment, and how we treat women in the public eye. And she joins Mia today to talk about it...
