Ronnie Screwvala changed the viewing habits of the world's most populous country, India - but he started out selling toothbrushes. BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng chart his journey, from knocking on apartment doors in 1980s Mumbai selling cable TV, to building a media empire that would transform Indian entertainment. Ronnie Screwvala launched the first Indian daily soap opera, the country's most popular children's channel, and a Hollywood-style film studio in Bollywood. He rode India's economic liberalisation to reshape how a nation watched television and movies. Along the way he made big deals with Rupert Murdoch and Disney. And his most recent business move into ed-tech made Ronnie Screwvala a billionaire.

This week, the boys grabbed some beers and kept it positive while they fired off some mini-reviews before featuring a conversation about “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. As part of the random year generator series, 2004 was a great year for movies, with over 50 $100m movies and many likable ones. While “Eternal Sunshine” didn't gross in the top 70, it may be the year's greatest film. Props to Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman for giving Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet some juicy roles and incredibly shifty worlds! As for the mini-reviews, the boys can't speak highly enough of Gore Verbinski's “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die”, starring Sam Rockwell, and the intense and captivating “If I Had Legs I'd Kick You”, and the Academy Award-nominated “It Was Just An Accident”.

The boys sit down with Nicholas Pappas AM – a proud Cazzie, and the man who helped lead the fight to reinstate the South Sydney Rabbitohs after they were controversially expelled from the National Rugby League. Taking on Rupert Murdoch, News Limited, and the NRL establishment, Nick was at the centre of one of the biggest legal and sporting battles in Australian history for which many thought (wrongly) there was no hope.From his incredible Castellorizian roots and history, to the courtroom showdown that reshaped his life, the game of Rugby League, and the Rabbitohs, Nick reflects on leadership, loyalty, resilience and what it takes to stand firm when the stakes couldn't be higher. A story of conviction, community and a Cazzie who refused to back down.This episode is proudly brought to you by:MKJ Accounting: https://mkj.com.au/The Greek Providore: https://thegreekprovidore.com.au/The Steve Waugh Foundation: https://www.stevewaughfoundation.com.au/Send a text Support the showEmail us at ouzotalk@outlook.comSubscribe to our Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@OuzoTalkFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OuzoTalkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ouzo_talk/
In this masterful, groundbreaking work Fear and Fury: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings, and the Rebirth of White Rage (Pantheon, 2026), Pulitzer Prize-winning author Heather Ann Thompson shines surprising new light on an infamous 1984 New York subway shooting that would unveil simmering racial resentments and would lead, in unexpected ways, to a fractured future and a new era of rage and violence. On December 22, 1984, in a graffiti-covered New York City subway car, passengers looked on in horror as a white loner named Bernhard Goetz shot four Black teens, Darrell Cabey, Barry Allen, Troy Canty, and James Ramseur, at point-blank range. He then disappeared into a dark tunnel. After an intense manhunt, and his eventual surrender in New Hampshire, the man the tabloid media had dubbed the “Death Wish Vigilante” would become a celebrity and a hero to countless ordinary Americans who had been frustrated with the economic fallout of the Reagan 80s. Overnight, Goetz's young victims would become villains. Out of this dramatic moment would emerge an angry nation, in which Rupert Murdoch's New York Post and later Fox News Network stoked the fear and the fury of a stunning number of Americans. Drawing from never-before-seen archival materials, legal files, and more, Heather Ann Thompson narrates the Bernie Goetz Subway shootings and their decades-long reverberations, while deftly recovering the lives of the boys whom too many decided didn't matter. Fear and Fury is the remarkable account and a searing indictment of a crucial turning point in American history.

A new book focuses on the future of Rupert Murdoch's media empire after a legal dispute within his family. The case has renewed attention on Murdoch's long-standing influence in British newspapers and the role of Fox News in American politics. Gabriel Sherman, author of Bonfire of the Murdochs, sets out the background to the succession battle and the company's direction under Lachlan Murdoch.A week of intense reporting on Sir Keir Starmer has led to debate about the role of political journalism in the UK. Some commentators have argued that reporting may have fuelled the sense of crisis which followed further revelations in the Epstein files. Simon Nixon, author of the Wealth of Nations newsletter, and Catherine Neilan, Whitehall editor at The Observer, debate how political reporting works.The Washington Post has announced around 300 job losses, cutting roughly a third of its newsroom. Some sections, including sport, have closed and foreign reporting has been reduced. The changes have prompted concern about the paper's future and about pressures facing major news organisations. Marissa Lang, former Enterprise reporter at The Washington Post and member of The Washington Post Guild bargaining committee, and Cameron Barr, former senior managing editor of the paper and now Investigations editor at Mill Media, describe the impact of the cuts and the wider challenges for the industry.Presenters: Katie Razzall and Ros Atkins Producer: Lisa Jenkinson Content producer: Dan Hardoon Researcher: Ruth Waites Sound engineer: Jack Wilfan Technical co-ordinator: Akik Rahman

We go inside the real succession story within the Murdoch family media empire. It includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. In 2023 Rupert Murdoch chose his eldest son and most conservative child, Lachlan, as his successor – buying out three of his other children from the family trust and estranging them in the process. “His dream was to build a family business. And what he built was a business that destroyed his family,” journalist Gabriel Sherman says. His book, ‘Bonfire of the Murdochs,' also examines how the Murdochs changed politics on three continents over half a century. He spoke with guest interviewer Sam Fragoso. Later, TV critic David Bianculli reviews the return of ‘The Muppets.' Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Wendi Deng was the third wife of media magnate and billionaire, Rupert Murdoch. The public was quick to call her a gold digger, latching onto the 38-year age difference in their marriage, Wendi's humble upbringing in China, and her controversial involvement in the Murdoch family business. But despite criticism and rumors about her personal life, Wendi leveraged Rupert's connections to build a name for herself as a businesswoman, film producer, and advisor in the tech world. Lena and Alissa discuss ambition, Wendy's celebrity dinner parties & annual pre-Met Gala gathering, and the hypocrisy of the term “gold digger.” This episode was first published on 10/08/2020.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, historian Heather Ann Thompson discusses her new book “Fear and Fury: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings and the Rebirth” that revisits the 1984 Bernie Goetz subway shooting and explains why it remains a chilling precursor to the racialized fear and political rage shaping America today. Thompson walks through who Goetz was, how he shot four unarmed Black teenagers, and how—without video evidence—the media constructed a vigilante narrative that erased the victims and fueled public support for Goetz despite his own recorded confession. She situates the case in a New York City gripped by crime, austerity, and racial anxiety, arguing that fear was real but deliberately misdirected by sensationalist media, tabloid culture, and political leaders who framed young Black men as the threat while stripping away public resources. The conversation traces how Reagan-era policies, talk radio, and the tabloidification of news helped turn crime into profitable outrage, laying the groundwork for stop-and-frisk, the Central Park Five, and ultimately the politics Donald Trump would later master. Thompson connects the Goetz case to today’s wealth inequality, media groupthink, and deep political divides over racialized violence, showing how these stories are not aberrations but part of a long continuum. The episode is a sobering examination of how fear, race, and media narratives can warp justice—and how understanding that history is essential to understanding where America is now.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck breaks down the mounting political fallout from a string of fatal and controversial shootings by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, including the killing of ICU nurse Alex Pretti—an incident that has sparked protests, outrage, and deep questions about federal law-enforcement use of force. Bystander video and independent analysis have sharply contradicted official claims that Pretti posed a threat, amplifying criticism from local officials and national figures alike while the Trump administration has scrambled to contain the damage by removing the Border Patrol commander and sending veteran immigration official Tom Homan to Minneapolis to calm tensions. As Republicans in Congress publicly wrestle with how to respond—and some distance themselves from the administration’s actions—Chuck explores how Trump’s repeated emphasis on which voters supported him personally, rather than addressing the substance of the crisis, is complicating the situation politically. With Minneapolis emerging as a political disaster for Trump, the episode also looks at how Trump’s handling of Kristi Noem and broader GOP infighting could create openings for Democrats, especially as concern grows over civil liberties, federal overreach, and the credibility of government narratives in the face of widespread skepticism and media scrutiny. Then, historian Heather Ann Thompson discusses her new book “Fear and Fury: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings and the Rebirth” that revisits the 1984 Bernie Goetz subway shooting and explains why it remains a chilling precursor to the racialized fear and political rage shaping America today. Thompson walks through who Goetz was, how he shot four unarmed Black teenagers, and how—without video evidence—the media constructed a vigilante narrative that erased the victims and fueled public support for Goetz despite his own recorded confession. She situates the case in a New York City gripped by crime, austerity, and racial anxiety, arguing that fear was real but deliberately misdirected by sensationalist media, tabloid culture, and political leaders who framed young Black men as the threat while stripping away public resources. The conversation traces how Reagan-era policies, talk radio, and the tabloidification of news helped turn crime into profitable outrage, laying the groundwork for stop-and-frisk, the Central Park Five, and ultimately the politics Donald Trump would later master. Thompson connects the Goetz case to today’s wealth inequality, media groupthink, and deep political divides over racialized violence, showing how these stories are not aberrations but part of a long continuum. The episode is a sobering examination of how fear, race, and media narratives can warp justice—and how understanding that history is essential to understanding where America is now. Finally, Chuck updates his ToddCast Top 5 governor’s seats most likely to flip in 2026, weighs in on the massive looming cuts to the staff at the Washington Post and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

In breaking news, a Trump appointed Federal Judge has issued an extraordinary emergency restraining order over night, without even hearing from the Trump Administration, to block the Administration from doing anything to “conceal or alter” evidence from the Alex Pretti crime scene, indicating that even Trump fed judges don't trust this Administration not to destroy crime scene evidence about a federal officer's shooting of a US Citizen who was exercising his 1st and Second Amendment rights. Popok reports on Judge Tostrud's order and how public outcry has worked to have MAGA senators, congresspeople, and news outlets controlled by Rupert Murdoch call for Trump to pull out of Minnesota and stop murdering its citizens.

Mark Little has always been a few steps ahead, especially when it comes to technology and social media. He spent years at RTÉ, then made a jump that looked risky at the time (but turned out to be seriously smart) to set up a social media intelligence company called Storyful. A few years later he sold it to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp and, after a short spell working for Twitter, Mark then set up his next company, Kinzen, which he sold to Spotify just a couple of years ago.In this episode Mark and I chat about things like the neck-breaking speed of technological change today and how our lizard brains are not set-up to cope with it, the massive generational divide when it comes to social media and why this was really exposed during the recent presidential election, the rapid return to the nostalgia of simpler timesCOMEDY – David McWilliams gets exercised about the rising price of a pint of porter.Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand
This week, the boys celebrate their 300th episode with Zack Snyder's “300”!

About John Dwyer:John is a marketing enigma, a “direct response customer attraction expert” who thinks way outside the box, and his marketing consultancy business is called The Institute Of Wow, with John's mantra being that one's marketing needs to “wow” prospects. He's also the guy who shocked the marketing world some years back when he convinced Jerry Seinfeld to come out of retirement to be the spokesman for an Australian banking institution, The Greater Building Society, heading up a “free vacation campaign” which broke home loan lending records and remains folklore in the global banking industry. This was probably one of the most successful “incentive-promotions” in the world, resulting in many billions of dollars in extra home loans. John helps business owners understand how to exploit platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn by implementing “incentive-based marketing offers” that can be targeted specifically to certain audiences. His client list reads like a Who's Who of business and includes the likes of Rupert Murdoch's News Ltd, 7-Eleven, Westfield Shopping Centres, Walt Disney, KFC, and BP, because they acknowledge he is “the master of creating incentives that work.” In this episode, Dean Newlund and John Dwyer discuss:Why most marketing efforts fail to prove real ROIHow direct response marketing builds brands and drives sales simultaneouslyThe role of incentives and sampling in moving customers off the fenceUsing data and statistics to earn credibility with executivesTranslating creative ideas into measurable business outcomes Key Takeaways:Track cost per lead and conversion rates daily so you can identify ad fatigue early and change creative before performance drops.Design marketing offers that distract attention from price by using incentives, sampling, or bonuses instead of discounts.Present marketing results to executives using statistics and ROI metrics rather than ideas, branding language, or vanity metrics.Turn your expertise into a high-converting offer by giving value first, then inviting prospects to engage deeper instead of selling immediately.

This week, the boys drink some whiskey and head to 1960 to discuss the less famous slasher movie of the year, “Peeping Tom”! Directed by Michael Powell, this film was a major inspiration for Martin Scorsese and a terror to the people of England, leading to its removal from theaters after only 5 days. Unlike “Psycho”, it was subsequently banned from many other countries… yet today, this movie feels like a tone poem of modern culture. We give you a 1960 year-in-review and discuss. linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles to unpack the one thing that drives Donald Trump more than policy, ideology, or even power: television. From The Apprentice to Fox News, Trump has always understood that fame is a currency, and the White House is just the ultimate reality show set. Wolff details how Trump doesn't read briefings, rarely listens, and instead crafts his world based on ratings, Nielsen scores, and cable news cues. The former president treats lawyers like scripted TV characters, his cabinet as central casting, and the nation as an audience to captivate. From Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch to Sean Hannity and Bill Shine, Trump has manipulated media insiders to shape both his narrative and his presidency. This episode reveals why politics, for Trump, has never been about governance—it's about performance, spectacle, and keeping the cameras rolling. Hosted on Acast.

The Newsmongers unfolds the seedy history of tabloid journalism, from the first printed ‘Strange Newes' sheets of the sixteenth century to the sensationalism of today's digital age. The narrative weaves from Regency gossip writers through New York's ‘yellow journalism' battles to the ‘sex and sleaze' Sun of the 1970s; and from the Brexit-backing populism of the Daily Mail to the celebrity-obsessed Mail Online of the 2000s. Colourful figures such as Daniel Defoe, Lord Northcliffe, Hugh Cudlipp, Rupert Murdoch and Robert Maxwell are brought to vivid life. From scandalous confessions to the Leveson Inquiry, the book explores journalists' unscrupulous methods, taking in phone hacking, privacy breaches and bribery. In the digital era, popular journalism succumbed to ‘churnalism' while a certain royal is seeking revenge on the tabloids today. Terry Kirby is Senior Lecturer in Journalism at Goldsmiths, University of London, and author of The Trials of the Baroness (1991). He has been a journalist for more than four decades and was a founder member of staff at The Independent, where he worked for more than twenty years in a number of roles, including crime correspondent, night editor and chief reporter Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

The boys head to prison on Devil's Island to discuss 1973's “Papillon”! One of the highest-grossing movies of the year, this true-story account of Steve McQueen's character befriending Dustin Hoffman's character to help keep each other alive and prepare their escape from the no-chance-of-return prison, a world away from their native France. Made by the team behind Oscar-winner “Patton” from 1971, shot very much on location, some call this McQueen's best performance.

Ah, la période des fêtes... Ce doux moment de l'année où la bienveillance est reine, et où l'on est donc obligé de souffrir l'oncle René, endurer les enfants des autres, boire sans trop boire, rire, ne pas pleurer… Survivre, donc, dans un environnement gracieusement hostile, quelque part entre le paradis et l'enfer. Mais ça, c'est si on ne connaît pas cette autre famille, cruelle et impitoyable, et donc bien pire que la nôtre : la famille Murdoch. Je vous parle d'un clan multimilliardaire sur lequel règne un patriarche de plus de 90 ans, Rupert Murdoch. Pendant plus de trente ans, trois de ses enfants, Elisabeth, Lachlan et James, se sont livrés une bataille sans merci pour lui plaire, d'abord, et puis pour accéder à son trône. Leur histoire a fasciné le monde entier, au point d'inspirer la série multi-récompensée qu'on est des millions à avoir vue : Succession. Quels sont les scandales, les crasses et autres trahisons qui ont rendu cette famille presque aussi célèbre que leurs entreprises, Fox Corp et News Corp ? D'où vient Rupert Murdoch pour être un père aussi tyrannique avec ses propres enfants ? Bref : qui est cette famille qui va nous faire aimer la nôtre à Noël ?

Send Kris and Rob a Text Message!On a cold December night in 1969, a woman vanished from her comfortable Wimbledon home without a trace. Within hours, the phone rang: a man calling himself “M3” claimed she'd been taken by the mafia, demanded £1 million, and insisted she would die if the police were called. What he didn't realize was that he'd kidnapped the wrong woman.This episode unravels the kidnapping and presumed murder of 55-year-old Muriel McKay—mistaken for Rupert Murdoch's wife, targeted in an elaborate ransom plot, and held at a remote Hertfordshire farm by brothers Arthur and Nizamodeen Hosein. We'll walk through the chilling ransom calls, the botched money drops, and the landmark trial that secured a murder conviction without a body. More than five decades later, Muriel's family are still searching for her resting place as new leads, fresh digs, and recent court rulings keep this case painfully alive. Join us as we look at the planning behind the crime, the police operation that brought the kidnappers down, and the emotional toll of living without answers when there is a conviction—but no body and no grave.sources for this podcastSupport the showJOIN THE HITCHED 2 HOMICIDE IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWSSTART KRIS CALVERT'S BOOKS TODAY FOR FREEH2H WEBSITEH2H on TWITTERH2H on INSTA

This week the boys head to 1936 to discuss “Dodsworth”, the film that may very well have catapulted William Wyler to the upper echelon of great directors of the time, and actors flocked to him- he'd be working with Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, and Lawrence Olivier within three years!
