In this conversation, Larry Sanger (co-founder of Wikipedia and founder of Citizendium) breaks down how Wikipedia works behind the scenes, how articles get shaped, and why he argues Wikipedia is no longer reliably neutral. We also discuss media narratives, institutional trust, and whether Wikipedia can be “fixed” — or whether alternatives are needed.

If you’ve ever searched “Is Wikipedia biased?“, “Can you trust Wikipedia?“, “Who controls Wikipedia?“, or “How are Wikipedia pages edited?“, this episode is for you.
