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 0091—The X Factor
As many as nine of Queen Victoria's male descendants suffered from hemophilia, a bleeding disorder known to be inherited on a recessive gene on the X-chromosome.
How might history have been changed if Victoria had not been a carrier of the gene?
Topic suggestion by listener Eric Rush.
