#32: Peep Show and Succession creator Jesse Armstrong

Chris talks to the man behind Peep Show and In The Loop about his major new HBO show Succession, which centres on a Murdoch-esque family ruling the American media. The pair explore how writers' rooms work, what a showrunner actually does, getting your head around complex business jargon for a script, the 'toilet paper draft' and the future of liberalism in the face of Trump.
