The following is with Paddy Manning an Australian journalist who has just published an unauthorised biography of Rupert Murdochs oldest son – Lachlan Murdoch

This is such a good book. The story of the Murdochs is even better and more dramatic than succession would have you believe. The drama of the deals, the personalities, the extravagances of wealth, the politics. The Murdoch empire is one of the most fascinating group of companies ever assembled and…. the subject of this podcast Lachlan Murdoch – is supposedly set to inherit it all.
