Rogers v. Rogers is Canada's real-life Succession story

from The BetaKit Podcast Channel

"It seems irrational, and irrational behaviour is where drama lives, it's where comedy lives. It's where all the fun is." A communications tycoon built an empire turning airwaves into cash. Now, his son, long dismissed by his father, is fighting for control of the family business. Meanwhile, one shrewd public servant is determined to derail the company's billion-dollar takeover. Is this a plot point from season three of Succession? No! It's a Canadian story… and it's all true—mostly. Award-winning playwright Michael Healey joins to discuss Rogers v. Rogers, his new play based on the Alexandra Posadzki book of the same name.   Solve for X is back! The latest season of the MaRS podcast is exploring more world-changing ideas.
