“I'm a big fan of the "what if," but I was also pleasantly surprised that this podcast wasn't the same format every single time. They used different storytelling devices to achieve different ends in each instance, to excellent and often comedic effect. I hope there's a second...”Read full review »

“The chances are you’ve lived through many/all of the events chronicled so far. You have your own memories of the time. This podcast supplements your memories with an alternate look at what if. I’ve found it makes me think about my own memories. Ultimately each episode engrosses & entertains. ...”Read full review »

“Really enjoy the series, particularly the Brady episode. As we have seen (really heard) with Pesca’s work, he creatively stretches the use of the audio medium. In the Brady episode, he takes an ordinary premise (what if Tom Brady did not become the Patriot’s quarterback) and turns it into...”Read full review »

“This is up there with the entertainment-setting-standard excellence of Revisionist History.
I’d tweet it but I don’t have the tweet means: Mike- does Jesse Eisenberg’s [ab]use of ‘surreal’ warrant further review? Maybe just an elbow jab?

“This podcast has so much potential, but it is too much fantasy and not enough fact supporting the proposed “what if’s”. I’m extremely disappointed.”

“I first heard Pesca on NPR give sports analysis which his enthusiastic personality made compelling even on sports I didn't care about. Then came his move to Slate and the Gist. Funny, confounding at times, but with a POV that makes you question your assumptions. Now his "What ifs" in...”Read full review »

“I am very disappointed with this podcast. Two fifths through its limited run, it violated its own premise by telling the story of an event which actually occurred, Chicago’s sixth game win over the Suns.
At least the “bonus” episode demonstrated how bad sports talk is in smaller markets.”

“I love Mike Pesca, his style of speaking and incisive commentary. That's pretty much the only reason I subscribed to this podcast. He's great. And even if, like me, you're only an occasional casual sports fan, it's definitely still worth a listen.”Read full review »

“Only tangentially about sports and doesn’t take its “what if” concept seriously. Episode 2 with Jesse eisenberg was terrible-a bizarre fantasy about Charles Barkley reading his childhood fan letter told with false self deprication that comes off as smarmy self indulgence. Maybe I misunderstood...”Read full review »

“Listening to Mike (if you haven't heard his podcast the Gist, fix that asap) is always a pleasure -- like sitting next to the most interesting guy at the bar. Here, he takes what will be a familiar idea to any sports fan and runs with it further than you thought possible. It's great....”Read full review »

“When I heard it would be a “sports” themed thing I thought, I am nowhere near an expert on it and it will be boring. I should’ve known better. After the first episode, I am hooked. Mike Pesca never disappoints!”
