from Wait, That's Random: This Day in History · host C.L. Berns

Sunday, July 26 • National All or Nothing DayHistory doesn't always begin with a headline. Sometimes it starts with an ordinary decision that quietly changes the future.Today we explore how Benjamin Franklin helped build America's first postal system, how a 34-person investigative office became the FBI, and how a single photograph from Mars sparked one of the greatest space mysteries of the twentieth century.Along the way, we celebrate the birthday of legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, whose relentless pursuit of perfection forever changed the art of cinema.Sometimes the biggest moments in history don't look remarkable when they happen. We only recognize them after they've changed the world.
