Today on MOTH News Live, Keith Walsh leads a deep dive into how public feuds — whether celebrity family rows or billionaire showdowns — have become a modern publicity engine. We break down the Beckham family saga and ask: is this just personal pain… or media strategy? We then connect that to wider examples of conflict generating attention in the public sphere. Plus, Oscar reports from Davos on the so-called Board of Peace and power politics shaping foreign policy, and Al joins to bring his perspective on the Beckham story and the broader issue of “nepo babies” and influence. All this and more on today’s MOTH News Live — sceptical, curious, and independently minded.
