Manage episode 401381679 series 2806960
If you have been watching the limited series Feud: Capote vs. the Swans, you know the famed writer betrayed every one of his friendships with those women. Yet, as Joseph Rodota reveals, there was actually one woman Capote did not sell down the river; he tells us who she was and why. Then, speaking of feuds, Kurt Wagner has the untold story of the lengths to which Twitter founder Jack Dorsey went to sway his company’s acquisition in Elon Musk’s favor. And on the subject of the rise and decline of media properties, Bill Keenan has the crazy story of how a father and son created ESPN on a wing and a prayer—and then walked out with almost nothing to show for it.
