The following podcast contains explicit language. Hello and welcome to season 2 episode 2 or I guess in season 1 episode 2 of the

succession recap podcast which is recapping season 2 episode 2 of succession you know this is getting complex but

we're gonna dive right into it I'm Felix salmon of axios I'm joined by Emily

Peck of the Huffington Post. Hello.

And a very special guest, the editor-in-chief of Volta,

Mr Ryan McCarthy, former editor-in-chief of Vice News. They both begin with V. That's all I'll say about that.

And there are other parallels which we will get into in this episode which is titled Walter.

Which is titled Walter. Ryan and I have known each other for many years Ryan used to be the business editor at the Huffington Post

That's correct and then we built an empire known as counter parties

Yes in a it was pivoted away empire known as counter parties.

Yes, in a, it was pivoted away.

Let's just put it that way.

We didn't pivot to video, we pivoted to nothing.

Yes, we pivoted to not doing this anymore.

But Ryan, unlike me, went on to bigger and better things.

And in fact, an editor-in-chief job at Vice, which may or may not have a vague resemblance to Walter.

We're going to talk about that on this episode of

Sleet Money Succession. Okay, let's get into it. This was, it all started going on and I'm very very grateful to Emily Peck because she actually has an idea of

structure here and she wants to go through the episode and everything that happens in the

episode and I think that's what we should do in a recap episode but can I just say female Roger Ailes?

Yes, Sid Peach. Sid Peach was quite incredible.

Sid Peach is my new favorite character in the whole show.
