  • Sweet Way to Deep Dive History

    What an outstanding and clever way to engage in and explore history. The guys not only have encyclopedic notes about whatever they’re discussing, but create a sense of wonder with the ‘what if’ fork premise. Very cool idea.

  • Technical issues

    The volume is sometimes off, but interesting discussions of what-if history— when it downloads. The feed has stopped downloading.

  • But where are the what ifs?

    Have listened to a few of these and will give

    It more time but - where are the what if’s? The very first one spends the entire time talking about how important Washington was and not saying anything about how it would be different if he had been assassinated!

  • Some winners, some losers

    Each podcast is a bit of a gamble. Some are great, some are OK but stir the imagination, and some are just not good. The great ones seem well researched and really make you think about how small changes to our history could have huge consequences. The bad ones sound like the hosts read the Wikipedia page on the subject just before recording and are making it up as they go. And for the love of Pete, stop quoting The Crown!!! The Crown is fiction!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 271- Midnight Train to Gottingen
Q: What happens to Russia's involvement in World War I if Lenin never returns?
Without Lenin, Kerensky's provisional government may consolidate power, preventing the Bolsheviks from seizing control, thus enabling Russia to maintain its involvement in the war.
Episode 0242—SanjurWHO
Q: Do we think Hitler has any reason to call Japan into the conflict?
Hitler likely does not see the need to approach Japan for a coordinated conflict against the Soviets, as he would focus on consolidating power in Western Russia first.
Episode 0242—SanjurWHO
Q: What do we think is gonna happen with Japan once war breaks out between the Soviets and the Germans in early 1940?
Japan may initially not get involved in a coordinated offensive against the Soviets, focusing instead on expanding into Manchuria due to previous engagements and the lack of external pressures from Western powers.
Episode 0235—The Little Brother's Club Part IV- A New Pope
Q: Do we have a way for the Indians to relate to another different oppressed minority that also happens to be pushing out West, and that's the Mormons?
Yes, there is a legitimate question about whether Mormons are an oppressed minority, and they do end up going out west.
Episode 0199—Pass on the Pardon
Q: Do you think Ford was right in pardoning Nixon?
While many don’t agree with the decision, they understand his logic in trying to heal a divided nation.
