Every day of the year has a story where business reshaped the world.
And each day, host Ron Trucks takes you through that story - part history lesson, part trivia fun - in less time than it takes to order your Starbucks.
And on Fridays? We cut loose with bsnsBloopers: the missteps, meltdowns, and epic fails that prove business doesn’t always go according to plan.

Dec 18, 1944: When Women Filled the Factories and Business Never Looked the Same
This is the moment American business was forced to rethink who work was really for.
On December 18, 1944, the U.S. War Manpower Commission announced that women made up more than 40 percent of the civilian workforce. With millions of men deployed overseas, businesses rapidly restructured hiring, training, management, and production, changes that permanently reshaped labor strategy, human resources, and how companies thought about productivity and talent.
From bsnsHistory, the daily podcast about the moments when business quietly reshaped the world.
Written and hosted by Ron Trucks. Research and editing by Rodney Russ. Sound design by Angela Cahoy. Music by Cody Martin and Soundstripe.
