The world is on fire, and either because of that or in spite of that, we found ourselves consumed with the details of the Murdoch family d-r-a-m-a that were unsealed in court documents last month. We dig into all the things that shocked us (Rupert Murdoch has Asian daughters?), the bizarreness of Succession impacting the family that inspired it, and the potential ramifications of this family feud on our rapidly disintegrating democracy. Whether it's an escape from the more serious calamities happening around the world or schadenfreude from seeing these toxic forces thwarted, we hope this conversation gives you a little juice today. Plus, our top five signs that we're middle-aged. We're in our eating-probiotics, buying-clothes-from-Costco, recording-an-entire-episode-about-the-Murdoch-family-drama era, and we're leaning all the way in. ✌️If you'd like to get caught up to speed, here are our primary texts:"'You've Blown a Hole in the Family': Inside the Murdochs' Succession Drama" by Jonathan Mahler and Jim Rutenberg, The New York Times, February 13, 2025"Growing Up Murdoch" by McKay Coppins, The Atlantic, February 14, 2025facebook.com/topfivepodInstagram: @topfivepodArt by Colin Turnbull (colinpturnbull.com)Music by Origami PigeonThe opinions shared here do not necessarily reflect those of our employers!

In 2006, Roger Bennett and Michael Davies had a chance meeting at a wedding. The two bonded over their love for soccer and their frustration with missing the World Cup final. Friendship turned into a podcast, their podcast turned into a television show and a brand was born. Men in Blazers became a legitimate phenomenon, propelling the two men into the soccer media spotlight. The show became a fixture for a devoted group of American soccer fans and helped elevate coverage of the Premier League and beyond for audiences throughout the country. Jonathan Mahler was a media reporter for the New York Times in 2014, a time when Men in Blazers had emerged as dominant voice in soccer coverage in America. Mahler joined Founding Futbol to talk about the evolution of Rog and Davo, BlazerCon, their impact on the popularity of the game and what MIB's next act might look like. Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America. Visit our website for more information: ⁠⁠FoundingFutbol.com.
