It Could Happen Here started as an exploration of the possibility of a new civil war. Now a daily show, it's evolved into a chronicle of collapse as it happens, and an exploration of how we might build a better future. Every day Robert Evans, Garrison Davis, Mia Wong, and James Stout take you on a jaunty walk through the burning ruins of the old world and towards a better one that lays just on the horizon.

It Could Happen Here

Mia talks with Dr. Kaveh Hoda about Trump’s efforts to stop giving children the Hepatitis vaccine.

Trump’s Hepatitis Vaccine Lies

Hello, It Could Happen Here Listeners! We want to share a new show you might enjoy, SAD OLIGARCH Season 2!
 
About the show: Since January 2022, dozens of Russia's wealthiest oligarchs and power brokers have died suddenly. One was poisoned with frog venom. Two killed their whole families. Several fell out of high windows. Most of the deaths are suspicious. Russia says they're coincidental suicides—that the deceased were simply depressed. We don't think so...
 
Sad Oligarch is an investigative podcast series that looks into the strange deaths of the Russian elite, unravelling a dark tale of Kremlin corruption and Putin's political dictatorship across the world. This is season two—Russian oligarchs are still dying and things have gotten even weirder...
 
Listen here and subscribe to SAD OLIGARCH Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts!

Introducing: SAD OLIGARCH Season 2

Garrison talks about how politicians and media figures weaponize public acts of violence though the lens of partisan political ideology.
