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.

Jan 15, 2001: When Knowledge Left the Bookshelf
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A simple online experiment quietly challenged who gets to create, control, and trust information.
On January 15, 2001, Wikipedia went live, allowing anyone to write, edit, and improve articles in real time. What began as an open collaboration experiment quickly disrupted traditional publishing models, questioned established authority, and demonstrated how participation at scale could reshape how knowledge is produced, evaluated, and distributed across the world.
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.
