Welcome to The Road Not Taken, the podcast where we ask, “What if the things that happened… didn’t happen?”
Each episode, we invite guests to explore alternate historical timelines, reimagining how the world might have looked like if certain events didn’t unfold the way they did. From political upheavals to cultural renaissances, we dive into the roads not taken— and the futures that could have been.
Episode 1: What if the Berlin Wall never fell?
In this week’s episode we will discuss with Dr. Marion Loeffler, the witness of the falling of the Berlin Wall, about what would the world be today if it did not happen? What impact did the collapse have on not just Germany but the global politics?
Episode 2: What if Margaret Thatcher was assassinated in 1984?
In this week’s episode we will discuss with Dr. Thomas Leahy and Dr. Jonathan Kirkup, experts in Irish and British politics about what would the world be today if the assassination attempt on Margaret Thatcher did not fail? What impact did she have on not just the UK but the global politics?
