bsnsHistory
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 23, 2001: Enron Fell and Trust in Business Fell With It
For years, Wall Street and corporate America assumed complexity meant sophistication and safety.
On December 23, 2001, thousands of Enron employees lost their jobs as the once-celebrated energy company collapsed under the weight of accounting manipulation and executive deception. The failure did more than destroy a company. It exposed deep weaknesses in auditing, governance, and oversight, ultimately reshaping corporate regulation and forcing businesses to confront how trust is built and lost.
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.
