For episode 57, we dive into the controversy surrounding Britney Spears and her conservatorship, talk about some of our favourite moments from the Summer Olympics and discuss the importance of the Online Safety Bill in the wake of the online racial abuse that Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka experienced following the Euros.
