The Succession Of Rupert
Show Notes

Welcome to Episode 162!  From the headlines, one of the most influential news monarchs is taking a step back.  What does that mean exactly?  How will things be different over at the most popular newsrooms in the US?  It feels a bit like the final season of 'Succession' perhaps?

In the last week it was announced Rupert Murdoch, head of Fox News (Fox), is stepping back from his duties at age 92.  The word "retirement" was bandied about to describe what's happening but somehow the description under the title doesn't seem like a retirement we would want for ourselves.  It was also told Lachlan Murdoch (his son) is taking over leadership.  What does that mean for news?  Let the speculation, discussion, and curiosity flow as Casey & Mark are discussing their thoughts on the matter as well as the state of news and television currently.  There's a lot to discuss and unpack here.

To kick off the week's episode, in the Trash Pick-Up,  Casey is giving us the download of his night out at the Chicago Theater with Miss Jeffrey and Mark is celebrating family as a family member turns 90!  In this week's Trash Talk, #bottomdinner is trending, trouble between co-stars on Ryan Murphy's set, and a refund request on a flight from Singapore to Paris but you'll never guess why.

In this week's recommendations there a rare new limited series hitting a streaming service (given all the folks on strike in Hollywood) as well as a limited docu-series over 25 years in the making.

This one's chocked full of hilarity, discourse and of course, plenty of faggotry with your gay best friends!  So pour some of the last of that summer port vintage, grab your colors, put on a fresh diaper, and pull up a chair to spill the tea with your GBFs.  It's time to paint!
