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

Margaret reads you a story about class and patriarchy but don't worry it's not as pedantic as that makes it sound.

It Could Happen Here Weekly 214

The gang talk about the ICE shooting of a woman in Minneapolis, the kidnapping of Venezuelan president Maduro, protest in Iran, and conflict in Aleppo.

Note: This episode was recorded prior to the shooting in Portland, Oregon, but we will be closely following developments. We also did not know Renée Nicole Good’s name at the time of recording, but we feel it should be included here.
