About This Podcast
Welcome to what could have been, a podcast where I interview alternate versions of myself that are calling in from across the multiverse. We look at where our universes diverged from one another & how their histories played out compared to ours.
I'm Simon Peterson, your host doing the interviewing with alternate versions of myself from different timelines. We'll start with the point where we diverged from one another, & we'll explore each other's histories so that we can really understand What Could Have Been if we'd made different choices along the way.
