  1. WI: Wikipedia never existed?

    Trouble is, once the internet comes about, it's only a matter of (not much) time before Wiki (or something a lot like it) is invented imho, due to the simplicity of the idea-and the demand for convenient information. I suppose it's possible for an Alternate Wiki (not launched by Jimmy Wales) to...

  2. Alternate History Radioshow Idea (and potential Brainstorming)

    Hi guys, As SS said, we recorded the latest show on Monday: https://www.buzzsprout.com/423790/episodes/2304026 https://www.buzzsprout.com/423790/episodes/2304167 7 https://www.buzzsprout.com/423790/episodes/2304155

  3. President Marilyn Monroe

    I agree with everyone else re the difficulty of getting her elected without radically altering her career. I do wonder what she'd have done with the rest of her life though-maybe she'd gravitate towards more involvement in political campaigning-and there's also the chance her political views...

  4. DBWI: Carter elected in 1976

    I suppose it depends (to a degree at least) on how Carter wins. Are we proposing he keeps at least some of the huge lead he enjoyed earlier on in the 76 campaign and wins comfortably? Or is he winning in a squeaker, let's say by Ford having a bad night at one of the debates? The latter scenario...

  5. Wi The UK Votes To Leave The Common Market In 1975?

    Hi all, I'm working on a project, entitled 'Brexit... In 1975'-and I'm hoping I can discuss a few ideas: First of all, given the somewhat lopsided 'in' vote in 1975 in OTL, is there any way of producing the opposite outcome, with the POD after the February 74 election-or ideally, after October...

  6. WI: Downing Street Mortar Attack actually hit 10 Downing Street

    "It’s not impossible that in this emergency, a certain backbencher, the Rt Hon. Member for Finchley, returns to Downing Street: Maggie’s Back." While not impossible, Thatcher returning is on balance very unlikely in this scenario (as apposed to impossible with any other post resignation POD...

  7. No Malvinas / Falkland War

    "A better scenario for Argentina is the Junta waiting a few months. Even a couple of months and the British wouldn't have been able to act immediately due to the southern hemisphere winter, and would have had to wait until November to send a task force, by which time momentum would have been...

  8. No Malvinas / Falkland War

    I don't know all that much about the Argentina Junta, but my impression is that they invaded to try and invoke a rally-around the flag affect as the only way to stay in business. Therefore, even if Thatcher does issue an adequate warning to the Junta re the British government's intent to defend...

  9. Alternate History Show-Ready For Download Now!

    Hi all, My very first AH Podcast is ready for download now. The subject is World War II (coinciding with the 80th anniversary): MOD EDIT It's approx. 80 minutes long, though it's in 3 parts. I'd be grateful for all your downloads-and especially your feedback, either on this thread or you can...

  10. Alternate History Radioshow Idea (and potential Brainstorming)

    Hmmm I'm thinking re the timezone issue, we might have to record at different times to a degree, depending on who shows up as guests on the show. Personally I can make any time from noon here (7 AM your time) to 10 PM my time-at a stretch anyway. So would say... something like 3/4 PM UK time be...

  11. Alternate History Radioshow Idea (and potential Brainstorming)

    Hi, An update my end... as I've been having a rethink... I get what you're all saying about Alternate World War II scenarios being done to death on here, but we also want to introduce new people to the delights of AH (hence the cross promotion on the radio)-and the basic World War II what ifs...

  12. Alternate History Radioshow Idea (and potential Brainstorming)

    All good points. I'm thinking the discussion will largely be about alternate outcomes for the war itself (and if/how it could've been prevented), though I think with something as all-incompassing as World War II, we could (and probably should) make the first programme entirely WWII centric...

  13. Alternate History Radioshow Idea (and potential Brainstorming)

    Hi all, Brief update from this end: Glad you all seem to like the idea of kicking off in early Sept with a largely World War II-centric show. Just to let you all know I've got the production rolling-I'm hoping to get that all but done by late July. I've contacted a few history authors to see...

  14. Alternate History Radioshow Idea (and potential Brainstorming)

    Hi all, Many thanks for all your positive replies. Been thinking more about the show and, I think we'll start it in early September (to coincide with the 80th Anniversary of the start of World War II)-not surprisingly, I'm envisaging that'll be our first subject as it's a popular draw. I'm also...

  15. Alternate History Radioshow Idea (and potential Brainstorming)

    I think I may have come across the Talkernate pages-though will revisit the videos by way of research. Re TL reviews-it's something that will be included in the 60 Second Summary-basically some weeks it'll be a TL on here (or on another site) and others it'll be another form of Alt Hist media...

  16. Alternate History Radioshow Idea (and potential Brainstorming)

    I like this idea in theory, though will probably wait until we're getting regular subscribers/followers.

  17. Alternate History Radioshow Idea (and potential Brainstorming)

    That all sounds good-if you could sound out people you think may be interested in contributing, that'd be great! I also like your idea of having an accompanying blog (and place for comments/interaction from listeners)-that's something I've been mulling over myself as well. That could also act...

  18. Alternate History Radioshow Idea (and potential Brainstorming)
    Threadmarks: Hi,

    Hi, Thanks for the reply. Glad you'd be interested in joining in-out of interest how regular would you be able to contribute? Re your idea of reviewing Alternate History media, I was thinking that'll be the main thrust of my '60 Second Summary' idea, the point being to give listeners just...

  19. Alternate History Radioshow Idea (and potential Brainstorming)

    Hi all, I've been a long-term lurker (and occasional poster) on here for a number of years, though have been away (though still regularly checking out posts) for a while. Anyway, I'm seriously considering the idea of starting up an Alt-hist podcast (though I believe this has been attempted by...

  20. Who would win the Republican nomination in 1996 if Dole doesn't Run?

    Hmmm it really does depend on (A) why Dole isn't running ITTL and (B) when he makes it known that he won't be a candidate. He was seen by most 'republican establishment' types as the obvious 'air-apparent', so the reasoning behind his non-candidacy is important. If he makes his intentions...
