Almost History – A new ‘What If’ podcast from All About History

Unlock the possibilities of the past with experts in new podcast series from the makers of All About History and History Of War

We’re delighted to announce the impending launch of Almost History, a brand new podcast from the All About History and History Of War team. Based on interviews with experts, we explore the ways history could have been impacted if well-known events had played out just a little differently.

Inspired by All About History’s regular What If…? section and the success of our What If history specials, Almost History brings the conversations with historians and expert authors direct to you so you can join the conversation.

From the risks to England if Henry VIII had died young and followed his older brother to an early grave to the potential pitfalls of D-Day and how Operation Overlord could have failed, you can see major events in a new light through this podcast series.

Episode 1 asking ‘What if Henry VIII had died young?’ launches 30 April 2026 with more episodes launching weekly after that. You can listen and subscribe to Almost History on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and many other popular podcasting apps and services.
