CTRL+Z: Rewritten

society, culture, news, politics · EN

On a computer, Control Z is the undo button. When you press it, whatever you just typed gets reversed and allows you to make a different decision. What if you could press Control Z on some of the biggest decisions in history? Every episode, we take a real decision by a real person, rewind it, and build the alternate timeline from scratch. What happens to the country, or the company or society, when the person in the room picks the other door? • Sony turned down Marvel's entire character catalog for $25 million. • Reagan fired 13,000 air traffic controllers instead of negotiating. • NBC almost killed Seinfeld after one episode. • King Edward VIII nearly kept the British throne three years before World War Two. What happens if they go the other way? Politics, business, sports, history, and pop culture. New episodes weekly.
