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, James Stout and Shereen Lani Younes 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.

Customer Reviews
I
Overall, this is a show I enjoy. It offers me a perspective on events, current and historical, that I don't get from the main networks and provides plenty of GOOD food for thought moments.
Having said that, there is a lack of professionalism when it comes to final reviews/fact checking of the materials and pronunciations of names and locations that can be easily avoided and automatically turns my brain off to what the hosts are presenting. Someone else commented that 8 out of 10 episodes are typically solid and I agree with that sentiment.
8 out of 10, still recommend
A whole Lotta haters can get effed
In the reviews I read a lot of aesthetic criticisms of a pretty solid show that rightfully doesnt care about this shortcoming- this is a panel show… hosted by activists, journalists and - they don’t hide behind neutrality. Not should they. These people have skin in the game. To the folks who get upset about stammered speech or open sorrow: you’re not really listening. The reports are personal, because the panel is intimately involved with the circumstances they report on- we all are. Get over it. Get real.
Listen…
Really appreciate these people!
