Netflix tegen HBO. Nike tegen Adidas. Zaken doen is oorlog. Soms gaat het om jouw portemonnee of aandacht. Soms gaat het gewoon om het plezier van het verslaan van de concurrent. De uitkomst van deze gevechten bepaalt wat we kopen en hoe we leven. Business Wars vertelt je het ongeautoriseerde, echte verhaal over wat deze bedrijven en hun leiders, uitvinders, investeerders en bestuurders drijft naar nieuwe hoogten — of naar de ondergang.
Netflix vs. HBO. Nike vs. Adidas. Business is war. Sometimes the prize is your wallet or your attention. Sometimes, it’s just the fun of beating the other guy. The outcome of these battles shapes what we buy and how we live.
Business Wars gives you the unauthorized, real story of what drives these companies and their leaders, inventors, investors and executives to new heights — or to ruin. Hosted by David Brown, former anchor of Marketplace. From Wondery, the network behind Dirty John and American History Tellers.

Is nostalgia alone enough to keep Chuck E. Cheese afloat in 2025? As the chain continues to crawl its way out of bankruptcy, they’ll need to win over the next generation of kids — or perhaps, their parents — to keep the arcade lights on. Ben Coley of the trade publication QSR Magazine joins David to discuss how Chuck E. Cheese is making money these days, and whether they’ll be able to stick it out for another 50 years. Later, Ross Brakman of the American Treasure Tour Museum shares the origins of the animatronic bands that came to define Chuck E. Cheese and ShowBiz Pizza Place all those years ago — and the love that adults and kids across the world still have for these characters.
