Redstone, who died in 1920 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.
