What Could Have Been

A great big welcome back to our returning Simon Peterson.In Season 1, we talked to a Simon from a timeline where after World War II, West Germany was annexed by France, & East Germany was annexed by Poland. After listening to the wild ride of a timeline where the Western region of Germany was annexed by & somewhat assimilated into France, we couldn't schedule a time to talk about his Germany's Eastern half. Of course, it didn't help that he had been an emergency fill in after our first fiasco trying to talk to an independent Quebec.Well today, he's back. That's right folks, we have a returning guest who has come to tell us the other half of a story where Germany was annexed by its neighbors. So enjoy this International Worker's Day, & tune in to hear the story of an East Germany that was annexed into communist controlled Poland. Was life easier or harder for the German people than it was in Eastern France? Were their revolutions? Was a wall built between the former Germanies? Will our returning guest finally get an answer he can understand as to whether or not West & East Germany were actually fully sovereign countries? Tune in to find out.

In Part 2 of our Miniseries, we pick up from where we left off in 1918 & continue the story to 1932. After our alternate timeline's communist revolution failed, what happened to Ukraine & Byelorussia? Where did Vladimir Lenin get off to? What desperate alliances were made between old rivals, & just who exactly did young Alexi marry?Join me again as we explore this wildly different timeline where Moscow was wiped out by a meteor strike in 1908. If you haven't heard Part 1, I recommend going back & checking it out.

After yesterday's second failed attempt to talk to a Quebec with a successful referendum to secede from Canada in 1995, we once again find ourselves talking to a last minute replacement guest. Today, staying on the theme of secession, we get a chance to talk to a timeline where the US states of Oregon & Washington seceded from the United States, & became the sovereign nation of South Cascadia.How did they leave? Was there a civil war in the states? Did they negotiate? Did they just walk away? How did they get around the fact that secession is ILLEGAL in the United States? Tune in & find out.WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN IN NO WAY SUPPORTS OR ENDORSES ANY STATE ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. (Even if might be a good idea.)

In 1995, the Province of Quebec came dangerously close to separating from Canada. In Season 1, we tried talking to a timeline where the referendum succeeded, but due to technical difficulties, all we got was what sounded like a numbers station. In today's episode, we've found a new timeline where the referendum succeeded & Quebec actually celebrated from Canada.Hopefully this time, we'll actually get to talk to our guest & find What Could Have Been if Quebec's 1995 referendum succeeded.

In the opening episode of our Season 2 Mini Series, we take a look at a timeline where in 1908, the Tunguska Meteor Event was far more destructive than it was in our timeline. Explore a world where the fate of a Nation, a Royal Family, the Great War & the Communist Revolution were all changed by a celestial event that nobody saw coming.In Part 1, we cover the years 1908 to 1918.Trigger Warning: This episode mentions cataclysmic disasters, political assassinations, & World War 1.

In out Season 2 Premier, our host talks to a timeline where instead of landing on the Moon in 1969 like we did, their race through Space took a different route which resulted in them only setting foot on the Moon in 1986. Start our new season off with a look at a completely different Space Race from the one we knew.Trigger Warning, this episode mentions the Deaths of Real Astronauts, as well as the Deaths & Traumas of Fictional Astronauts.Ps. After I finished recording 2 days ago, & as I was editing the episode, the Artemis Program was updated so that Artemis 4 will be the one to land on the Moon instead of Artemis 3, allegedly this will be in 2028. Also, as most of you are aware by now, the US is no longer on the brink of war with Iran.

With Season 2 approaching, our host is looking for guests from across the Multiverse to interview. When a microphone accidentally gets switched on, we get to hear his innermost thoughts on the timelines that he's sifting through. Which timelines will he be interested in? Which will he reject? What madness does the multiverse hold that he might consider looking into?

Need a break from your reality? Well you can get one. Just apply to the Interdimensional Council Travel Visa Department for a visa to the Multiverse. Exploring the infinite is made easy & fun by the IDC-TVD. That is, unless you happen to be in a timeline that's under a Level 5 Quarantine. Then your visa application might go a little bit more like what you're about to hear.

Three members of the diplomatic team from the Vex Alliance sit down to discuss some of the changes to our timeline, & how it'll impact their goals in our region of the multiverse.
