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 0034—Do We Have Mercedonius This Year?
The calendar that we presently use harkens back to the reforms instituted by Julius Caesar in 46 BC with only slight future modification in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII.
How might things be different if a calendar other than the Julian had become the predominant one or if we had adopted any of the proposed "modern" reformed calendars of the 20th Century?
