The Twisted World of Media Tycoons

A Succesion-esque story of media power.

The worlds of media tycoons are often so strange and twisted, it’s hard to believe the stories aren’t fiction. In Unscripted: The Epic Battle for a Media Empire and the Redstone Family Legacy, authors James B. Stewart and Rachel Abrams chronicle the dramatic story of one of the most powerful media dynasties in history. Join Steve Hayes as he interviews Stewart and Abrams on the history of the Redstone family and their rise to power.
