What if the Norman Conquest of England Failed? | Alternate History
Originally Aired Feb 3, 2026
In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if the Norman Conquests failed? Would England remain under the rule of the Anglo Saxon House of Godwinson of Wessex rather than William the Conquerer? What would a Godwinson dynasty look like presiding over a Pax Anglica? Would Godwinson be a conquerer and expand into Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, or would he be a consolidator and state builder? What would the English Language look like without French influence? Something like Anglish or Old Englis? Would it be influenced by Danish? What would happen to the Normans and the Papacy on the European continent? Would France conquer Normandy earlier?

What if America Joined the Central Powers in WWI? | Alternate History
Originally Aired Jan 23, 2026
In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if the United States of America joined Germany and the Central Powers in World War I? American and German relations prior to the outbreak of war were closer than many realize. However, the economic ties with Britain and the Entente were simply stronger. But, what if that had changed? Would the lack of American oil supplies cripple the British navy? Would the blockade be broken? Would Germany win and enforce it's Mitteleuropa and Mittelafrika visions in the Old World? What would happen to Britain, France, and the Russian Empire? Would Japan come out of this conflict surprisingly more powerful despite being on the losing side? Would America invade and conquer Canada?

What if the Iranian Revolution Never Happened? | Alternate History
Originally Aired Jan 12, 2026
In today's alternate history scenario we ask what if Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi remained in power, and the Islamic Revolution in Iran, or the Iranian Revolution, simply never happened? What does it take to prevent the revolution in Iran? Why did the white revolution and the Shah's modernization efforts backfire? What were the inherent failures of the Pahlavis in our own history? Would Ayatollah Khomeini still rise to prominence? Would Iran transition toward a constitutional monarchy? Would the Iran Iraq War happen? The oil price shocks? The Iranian Hostage Crisis? Could Iran become a trade superpower in the Indian Ocean?
