Rupert Murdoch is probably the best known media mogul in the Western world. The operations of his media empire, his legal and family dramas and his recent wedding cancellations make headlines. Less is known about the era that shaped young Rupert, the radical who espoused socialism, kept a bust of Lenin in his uni accommodation and then went on to build his empire from 1950s Adelaide.
Guest: Walter Marsh, journalist and author of Young Rupert - the making of the Murdoch empire, published by Scribe.
