Plus, Morgan Wallen and racism in country music

This week, Charles Holmes and Grace Spelman dig deep into 2021’s most wild week in music yet. Charles and Grace tackle FX on Hulu’s Framing Britney Spears (0:00). They take a critical look at the #FreeBritney movement (7:00) and parts of the documentary that fell short (16:00) and offer their wishes for Britney (23:50). Then, Charles recruits Rhodes College professor Dr. Charles Hughes and historian Amanda Marie Martinez to discuss Morgan Wallen’s use of a racial slur, the genre’s racist roots, and the forces that allow Wallen to thrive despite his reckless behavior (26:30).
