The team interviews Walter Marsh, former student radio participant and, more importantly, author of the freshly released book Young Rupert, about the Murdoch media empire. They discuss media monopolies and Succession as well. Then, they chat about the rise of the kazoo in Australian politics and segue seamlessly to a conversation about the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum.  Walter Marsh is a journalist based in Tarntanya / Adelaide with a background in history and culture. A former editor and staff writer at The Adelaide Review and Rip It Up, his writing has appeared in The Guardian, The Monthly, The Saturday Paper, and InDaily.  Drawing on unpublished archival material and new reportage, Young Rupert pieces together a paper trail of succession, sedition, and power — and a fascinating time capsule of Australian media on the cusp of an extraordinary ascension.
