    Ivy Insights

    The It Could Happen Here podcast is a thought-provoking and informative show that delves into the potential dystopian future of the United States. Each episode tackles different topics, highlighting the importance of who is giving the information and where they are getting it from. The level of bias varies depending on the host, guests, and topics discussed, making each episode independent in its approach. While there is a healthy amount of opinion and first-person information presented, I find this to be a positive aspect rather than a negative one.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is its ability to discuss topics that no other media sources would dare to explore. It takes an in-depth look at issues that often go underreported or overlooked by mainstream media. The level of research done for each episode is commendable, ensuring that the facts presented are accurate. Additionally, the diverse range of perspectives and voices featured on the show adds depth and variety to the discussions.

    However, there are a few shortcomings to note. The quality of each episode can be variable at times, with some audio gaffes slipping through during editing. This can be distracting for listeners looking for a polished production. Furthermore, some episodes may delve into topics that can be emotionally draining or overwhelming for certain individuals. While this may not necessarily reflect negatively on the podcast itself, it is important for listeners to take breaks if needed.

    In conclusion, The It Could Happen Here podcast provides valuable insights into potential future scenarios in an engaging and thought-provoking manner. Its willingness to cover unconventional topics sets it apart from other podcasts with similar political leanings. Although there may be areas for improvement in terms of production quality and emotional impact, overall, it remains an informative and worthwhile listen for those interested in exploring alternative perspectives on critical issues facing our society.

    Hi It Could Happen Here Fans! Take a listen to the trailer of our newest show Sixteenth Minute (of Fame) About the show: Sixteenth Minute (of Fame) is a weekly show from Jamie Loftus that takes a closer look at the internet's main characters – one part reported, one part interviews, and one part Jamie collapsing her permanently internet-damaged brain. Whether it's an enduring meme or a dreaded Character of the Day distinction, it's the kind of notoriety that often results in little money, unwarranted attention, and a confusing blurred line of consent. What do you do when you get more attention and judgement than any one person is built to handle? The Sixteenth Minute of Fame is the place where we figure that out, putting people in the context of the moment they've been frozen inside of.
