Redstone, who died in 2020 is one of the most interesting and
successful media moguls of the the 20th century - he bought MTV
before it took off, he bought CBS and Paramount studio.

We examine how he built his business from a handful of cinemas to
a media empire

We dig into the huge deals he got involved in

We ask if he was a true visionary or a hugely ambitious
opportunist

We look at how his dysfunctional and fractured relationship with
his family led to the dynasty-like soap opera that probably
eclipsed his business successes.

Also, this episode was recorded in 2023 so before Paramount was
sold.

And just to let you know, at the start of the podcast we
mention our main sources- there’s a link at the bottom of this
podcast that brings you to our blog where the main sources are
highlighted at the top of the article, and there’s links to some
really great photos there that are relevant to this story.
