It Could Happen Here

by Cool Zone Media and iHeartPodcasts

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, and James Stout 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.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I came in from BTB and honestly not big in the podcasting world, but genuinely impressed with what the CZM team has accomplished. It’s OK to not agree with everything everyone on every show says. That’s the point - allowing ideas into your life from others with different perspectives. CZM does a great job of keeping it light, but letting the stories breathe when the implications are grim. That is an extremely hard tight rope to walk. Shout out to Sophie and Robert and the entire CZM team. You are appreciated.

Great show but one star off because the ads are excessive. We’re talking 3+ min stretches of ads. Yes I know you can skip but I listen at work so I can’t skip as I can’t be on my phone, just put it on and play. 3+ mins is insane. And it’s not just one ad reel like that, there were 3/4+ reels like that already and I’m legit not even 25 mins in… it’s deadass like half ads

New listener as in I have been listening for the last month or so. I don’t get the Mia hate! I understand that maybe not every listener will understand a host’s entire personality translated through a podcast that we play through our pocket computer speakers but SHEESH people! She’s very smart and does a great job of explaining things. That being said, wonderful job by everyone all around, very informative and great resource. Lovely crew! <3

sopranosgal91 · Apr 2026

The episode featuring Steven Monacelll and Dr. Michael Phillips stood out as informative, thoughtful, and well-researched. I’d love to hear more from Monacelli and Phillips!

Philly Phan 25 · Sep 2024

I do not subscribe to either political party. So it becomes extremely obvious when the journalist has a side that he believes is the good guys vs the bad guys. Instead of presenting reasonable arguments and flaws in each side’s point of view (which there certainly are), he’s already decided who’s right and who’s wrong and needs you to agree with him. He’s not providing information so you can be a better informed citizen, he’s providing you an opinion by swaying the narrative. Really disappointing. I was really interested in this.

Content-wise, this is exactly the kind of podcast I would normally be hooked on, but the ads are just out of control. I totally get that ads are necessary because the people who make these podcasts need to pay rent and buy food, but this is the only podcast I’ve ever encountered that’s like 60% content, 40% ads.
