Broadcaster turns to podcasts to examine facts and fiction surrounding life of Rupert MurdochIf the tale of a powerful newspaper magnate who built up an international media empire, married several times, and now has to secure the future of his family business interests in an uncertain digital age sounds familiar, that could be due to the highly acclaimed television series Succession, starring
British actors Brian Cox and Matthew Macfadyen. Or it could just be that you have followed the long career of Rupert Murdoch.
Now David Dimbleby, the broadcaster who has watched the life and times of the
Australian media mogul for over five decades, will separate fact from fiction in a podcast that chronicles the real Murdoch story. It will launch on Audible later this month and will be 81-year-old Dimbleby’s first journalistic work since stepping down from the helm of BBC’s Question Time programme last year.
