In this episode, we'll be discussing #freebritney.

Inspired by the New York Times documentary “Framing Britney”, we take a look at Britney Spears’ evolution and that of her fans from a psychological perspective:

1. General comments on the documentary
2. What the “self” and anger might have to do with why things happened the way they did
3. Why people are part of groups
4. Why people become stans & part of fandoms (when there are many other causes to care about)
