Britney Spears: pop icon. Pandora Sykes 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.

In this eight-part series for BBC Radio 4, Pandora traces Britney's incredible life: from her hardscrabble childhood in rural Louisiana, to her coronation as the inaugural pop princess of the internet, navigating an insatiable celebrity gossip complex; through to a young mother on trial by the paparazzi.

Britney is a pop culture phenomenon. Pandora looks behind that mask - and beyond Britney herself - to explore how Britney became the most Googled person in the world, for almost seven years, and what it says, both then and now, about the entertainment industry, politics, sex and how we see women in the public eye.

Britney's public struggles saw her placed in a conservatorship, in which she lost the right to control her finances and day to day life. Thirteen years later, and she is in court, pleading for this controversial legal arrangement to end. We will look at how Britney has been transformed from girl-next-door teen sensation to a mute symbol of a supposedly rotten system.

Pieces of Britney mixes documentary, archive and interviews to tell Britney's remarkable story. It also features drama, written by playwright Katie Hims, to bring Britney and her extraordinary world to life.

Pieces of Britney is a sympathetic portrayal of Britney, during a time of cultural reappraisal about how we treat women - famous, or otherwise. These are some of the stories that have been told about her - but The Narrative is hers to finish.

NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING is a new show about how difficult – but not impossible – it is to make something actually good in Hollywood. Join LAist and The Black List each week as we put your favorite actors, directors, and writers through the wringer to see if they’ve got what it takes to make a successful movie or TV show – with, of course, an escalating series of helpful studio executive notes. In the process, we’ll poke fun at the industry we know and love, and see if famed screenwriter William Goldman was right when he said, “Nobody knows anything.”

NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING is hosted by Franklin Leonard, founder and CEO of The Black List, a platform that helps Hollywood discover great scripts. The show is a production of The Black List and LAist Studios, in partnership with The Ankler. New episodes drop weekly on Tuesdays and can also be heard on LAist 89.3 on weekends.
