About this episode

Rupert’s oldest son Lachlan may have won the Murdoch family succession battle when he became CEO of the Fox Corporation. But that’s not where the Murdoch drama ends. On this brand new episode, New York Times assistant editor Ed Lee joins Aricia and Brooke to unpack some big news from James Murdoch. Later, culture writer Hunter Harris gives an update on the new season of HBO’s Succession. Harris flew to Tuscany to interview the cast and crew while they shot the final episodes of season three.
