A Fork In Time: The Alternate History Podcast
Explore the realm of alternate histories as we explore the "what ifs" that can flow from history's most pivotal moments. Each episode will focus on a specific moment in time--the fork--where history could have taken a different path. A Fork In Time encourages contributions and participation by our community of listeners who have become an integral and vital part of the show.
This feed is also the home of our companion show, The Room Where It Happened, featuring the team looking at significant historical events without the alternative prespective.

Episode 0044—Desert One Deviation
On April 24, 1980, United States special forces suffered a bitter failure with Operation "Eagle Claw", the attempt to rescue the Americans being held hostage in Tehran during the Iran Hostage Crisis, being aborted following a collision between aircraft at the initial staging area of the operation that resulted in 8 casualties.
What if the failed rescue attempt had succeeded or met with an even worse failure?
