Kristen and Jen dive into the real-life Succession drama unfolding inside the Murdoch family, breaking down the legal battle over the Fox and News Corp trust that controls the family’s Class B super-voting shares. They explain how Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch secured a deal to buy out their siblings at a discount, why dual-class share structures matter for corporate control, and how this settlement resolves questions around long-term leadership of Fox Corp. The hosts connect it back to valuation, governance, and even their own courses, showing how the Disney–Fox transaction and the Murdoch saga mirror the themes of HBO’s Succession while providing a real-world case study in M&A and family business dynamics.
They also preview next Wednesday that they will be streaming live on YouTube immediately after the FOMC meeting to break down the Fed’s statement and market reaction in real time. They’ll be joined by the global head of income at a $650+ billion investment firm to give listeners a rare, trading-floor perspective on how professionals dissect every nuance of Fed language and position themselves in the bond market. Expect sharp analysis on yields, funding pressures, and curve moves—plus the chance to watch the news unfold live with expert commentary.
