October 26, 2021 The Wikipedia Story | Ep 2 | Hello World
It's the 15th January 2001 and a new website has just been launched. A free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Crazy idea, right? Maybe. But twenty years on, Wikipedia is in over 320 different languages and is growing by thousands of articles every day. How did we get from there, town Wikipedia in 2001, to here, metropolis Wikipedia 2021? For the second episode of dot com, Katie Puckrik's going back to the start to find out how and why Wikipedia was founded. And it turns out if you scratch the surface, the answer isn't as simple as it seems.

They're oddbods, lovers, leaders, loners. And nobody has any idea who they are. Until now.
