About this listen
One of the cardinal Murdoch family rules is never speak about the family outside the family.
So, when journalist McKay Coppins got in touch with James Murdoch back in 2024, he really wasn’t expecting a reply.
But Coppins was curious – what would happen to the Murdoch empire when Rupert died? And what it would mean for his youngest son, James, who was seemingly an outcast from the family?
What he didn’t yet know was there was a secret high stakes legal battle going on – and James was ready to talk.
This is part two in a two part interview. It was originally published in February 2025.
