In this episode, we draw a parallel deep dive into two media titans from opposite ends of the world Rupert Murdoch and Kalanithi Maran. Through history, power structures, political influence, controversies, and business empires, we explore how both men shaped media narratives, public opinion, and institutional control in their respective regions.
From global media monopolies to regional dominance, this conversation breaks down similarities, contrasts, and uncomfortable truths behind legacy media, ownership, and influence without filters and without reverence.
A critical conversation on power, media, and who really controls the story.
