Summary
<p>One of the cardinal Murdoch family rules is never speak about the family outside the family.</p> <p>So, when journalist McKay Coppins got in touch with James Murdoch last year, he really wasn’t expecting a reply.</p> <p>But Coppins was curious – what would happen to the Murdoch empire when Rupert died? And what it would mean for his youngest son, James, who was seemingly an outcast from the family?</p> <p>What he didn’t yet know was there was a secret high stakes legal battle going on – and James was ready to talk.</p> <p>This is part two in a two part interview. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Socials:</strong><strong> </strong>Stay in touch with us on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/7ampodcast">Instagram</a></p> <p><strong>Guest:</strong> Staff writer at <em>The Atlantic,</em><em> </em>McKay Coppins</p> <p><strong>Photo:</strong> Ron Galella / Getty</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
