A Fork In Time: The Alternate History Podcast
Explore the realm of alternate histories as we explore the "what ifs" that can flow from history's most pivotal moments. Each episode will focus on a specific moment in time--the fork--where history could have taken a different path. A Fork In Time encourages contributions and participation by our community of listeners who have become an integral and vital part of the show.
This feed is also the home of our companion show, The Room Where It Happened, featuring the team looking at significant historical events without the alternative prespective.

Episode 0003--How The “West” Was Won

In the early 5th century BC, an epic clash between the Persian Empire and the Greeks stands as the point where much of what will become “Western” culture hangs in the balance. Two battles in particular, Thermopylae and Salamis are pivotal in the Greek military victory over invading Persian forces, but also are influential in the development of what Greece, and ultimately, the West would become.
