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.

Gf and I just got back from Chicago. We saw the protests and wondered what was going on. Thanks for filling us in on what was happening.

After finding it via Some More News, I found myself immediately hooked onto the combination of otg reporting and collated reports supported by a great many sources.

Though the content does seem left-leaning, the stories being covered are quite relatable and at least, entertaining to almost anybody. I'd recommend if you're a fan of saying "Jesus Christ" under your breath in response to the story you're being told.

Incredibly informative exposès
