Welcome to Take What You Need, the podcast. This podcast is named after my first book, and many years on we’re continuing the journey of designing life on our own terms. Think of this as a weekly catch-up between me and you, where we talk about EVERYTHING. From the mindset shifts that make us better versions of ourselves, to discussing how the media, and marketing, play an even bigger role in the story of our lives than we might think. Each week, I delve into questions that you, the listeners, have asked and share my take on the topics that matter most to you. Let's get started

#10 "Why are they such BAD people?" — The Succession Episode

This week on the Take What You Need podcast, we deep-dive into the psychology of one of my favourite shows, HBO's Succession. The hallmark of great literature and media is that it holds up a mirror into our society on a macro scale, and the condition of humanity on a microscale, and Succession does that with equal doses of drama and comedy. This episode touches on generational patterns, the sibling experience and the TRUE meaning of the word ‘succession’.

ESSENTIAL FAQs:

  • Do I need to have watched Succession to enjoy this episode? No, I explain everything so hopefully it’s interesting
  • Are there spoilers? Yes, only a couple. Approach with caution (tbh, where have you been and why aren’t you caught up?)

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Why I think describing the Roys as ‘bad people’ actually misses the point

  • I give a snapshot of just how deep and brilliant this show is in my eyes…

  • How annoyed I’d be if I was Connor Roy

  • ls a look into 2053, when we have a Succession reboot 👀

Let me know what you think!
