Divergent Files: Project Podcast

Ever wonder what’s really out there—hidden in the shadows of history, buried in conspiracy theories, or lurking just beyond the stars? From unsolved mysteries and urban legends to extraterrestrial encounters and mind-bending science (both real and fringe), Divergent History is where the strange gets explained—without the boring lectures. We’ll explore the stories that keep you up at night and the questions that make you rethink everything you thought you knew. Oh, and you’ll also meet Wendell, my snarky, wise-ass owl sidekick who never misses a chance to throw in some sarcasm. Think of it like chatting with your neighbor over coffee—if your neighbor loved cracking jokes, solving mysteries, and hanging out with a grumpy owl. So, pull up a chair, and let’s dive into the unexplained. Together, we’ll uncover the secrets that make the unknown a little more fun—and maybe even a little less unknown.

They said the Titanic was switched. We dug deep—and found the receipts. Let’s set the record straight.

 

Did the Titanic really sink—or was it secretly swapped with its damaged sister ship, the Olympic? Was J.P. Morgan part of a banking plot to eliminate his rivals? Did three powerful men opposing the Federal Reserve just happen to die onboard?
