'Succession' Season 4 Details, References, and Analysis
The known Nazi-sympathizing character Mark Ravenhead was briefly mentioned at the end of episode two.
When Roman first arrives at Logan's house, the Roy patriarch and Tom Wambsgans are watching ATN. You can hear the TV anchor previewing an upcoming "must-watch" segment co-hosted by Mark Ravenhead.
Ravenhead was a prominent character for a few episodes back in season two, when Tom was tasked with trying to vet his ultra-right views to make sure he wasn't an overt white supremacist that would become a PR problem for ATN.
The vetting came at the request of Rhea — the woman who was the head of Pierce back when Logan first tried to acquire the more progressive news company. It went disastrously, to say the least. Tom's conversation with Ravenhead revealed that he read "Mein Kampf" multiple times and had named his dog after Hitler's dog.
But instead of actually firing Ravenhead, Tom allowed him to retain an anchor position and now he's at the forefront of US election media coverage. Between ATN and Logan's influence with the Republican nominee selection, "Succession" is building up to an explosive series end that could involve the country's descent into fascism.
