Synopsis:
Welcome to what could have been, a podcast where I interview alternate versions of myself that are calling in from across the multiverse. We look at where our universes diverged from one another & how their histories played out.
I'm Simon Peterson, & on this show, I'll be interviewing alternate versions of myself from different timelines. We'll start with the point where we diverged from one another, & we'll explore each other's histories so that we can really understand What Could Have Been.

In our third episode, I'm doing something a little bit different. In this episode, we're not looking at a timeline where a different decision was made. Instead, we're looking at a timeline where something happened that didn't happen in out timeline.
The New Madrid Seismic Zone is a place in Western Tennessee where a new fault line started forming hundreds of millions of years ago & then stopped. Today, we're talking to a timeline where the New Madrid Seismic Zone woke up & has started splitting the continent apart again. Come & see a universe where North America is actually in the process of physically splitting apart.

In my second attempt at my second episode, I've managed to bring on a guest from a timeline where after WWII, the Western half of Germany was annexed by France, as opposed to my timeline where it became it's own, kind of a country for a while. See how the second half of the 20th century might have played out if West Germany had never been.

In our second episode, I'm going to try to talk to a timeline where Quebec's 1995 referendum succeeded, leading to the Province of Quebec becoming its own Country. Tune in & listen to What Could Have Been if Quebec had separated from Canada.

In our first episode, I'm talking to a timeline where the Apollo program never ended. A timeline where there are manned bases on the Moon, & thousands of people are living & working up there. A universe where one small step wasn't the end of the story. A universe where we can find out What Could Have Been if we didn't stop going to the Moon in 1972.
