“An extremely well presented and intriguing podcast. I knew bits and pieces, but did not have the whole picture. It is like a Shakespearean play. Doubly fascinating with the current court case happening in the USA at the moment. Thank you.”

“Soundly researched & a well considered piece of analysis. Great interviews and reflections upon those influenced and the associated vested interests.”
“I really enjoyed the investigative journalism presented in this podcast. I think it is always difficult to present a deep look into despicable people. Having said this, the host is excellent.”
“Loved the detail and the in depth interviews.
Toward the end I was hoping Rupert wasn’t listening as his death was alluded to many times. :(
The Murdoch press has shaped my lifetime in many ways, so the insights were illuminating.
Thank you.”

“Great yarns and interviews, and a great balance between covering Murdoch’s life and times and capturing the striking features of his life without getting lost in the minutiae. Paddy Manning’s book on Lachlan Murdoch is also well worth a read. More podcasts like this please!”

“As someone who has worked at Murdoch papers on and off from Adelaide in the 1960s I think the series summed up the Murdoch trajectory very well. Enjoyed it immensely, particularly hearing the voices of people I worked with and fought against.

“I jumped on each episode as they became available. But six episodes doesn’t seem enough. If possible it would be great to hear extended versions of the interviews.
The episode on Anna Murdoch (ep. 4) was the most poignant.”
“Thanks for this well researched podcast. Many of the documentaries and articles on Rupert Murdoch are from an American or UK perspective as though his early life were of no consequence, his life began in either the UK or US and he was made by his experiences there, they made him.

“After writing a book on Lachlan, Paddy Manning (one of Australia’s finest journalists) has turned his attention to Rupert Murdoch. Listen each week how Rupert twists and turns in his quest for absolute power.”
