This Friday on Fine Print, we commence our new series, Fireside Chats, and welcome our guest, Shreya Mehta. Shreya is a rising high school senior who joins us on our episode about whether or not politics should be taught in schools. We spoke extensively about whether or not schools are the right place to teach politics, who is and is not qualified to teach politics, how schools can make politics a less taboo topic, and what parents can do to ensure that their children are well educated voters without presenting bias. If you are someone who is either about to qualify to vote, or will qualify in a few years, or if you are a parent to a teenager who will be entering the world of American politics soon, this episode is just for you. Tune into our engaging conversation, only on Fine Print.
In this episode of Fine Print, we flip the script on history and ask: What if India had become a monarchy after independence in 1947? Would we have a royal family in New Delhi? How would democracy, policy, and public life look today? From princely states to modern power dynamics, we explore the ripple effects of a hypothetical crown on India's political future.
In this alternate history deep-dive, Fine Print asks: what if the sick man of Europe had triumphed in World War I? Would the Ottoman Empire still rule over the Middle East? Could Istanbul have become a 21st-century superpower capital? We unpack the ripple effects—no Balfour Declaration, no modern Turkey, and perhaps no Israel. From oil politics to pan-Islamic diplomacy, we explore the fragile threads of empire, faith, and geography. Tune in as we peel back the layers of forgotten treaties, colonial ambitions, and the legacy of a world that almost was.
What if Japan never opened its doors to the West? In this episode, we explore an alternate world where the Tokugawa Shogunate holds firm to its isolationist policy. No Perry expedition. No Meiji Restoration. Would Japan still rise as a global power—or remain a secluded samurai state? Tune in as we unpack the ripple effects on Asia, colonialism, and the modern world.
What if the most infamous spy couple in American history slipped through the cracks? In this episode, we dive into a chilling alternate timeline—where Julius and Ethel Rosenberg continue their secret lives, Cold War tensions twist differently, and the nuclear arms race takes a darker turn. Would the U.S. have ever known? And how much more would the Soviets have gained?
In this gripping episode of Fine Print, we explore the chilling question — what if Sehmat Khan, the Indian spy who inspired Raazi, was caught in Pakistan?

Join us as we trace the ripple effects of a single moment that could’ve changed the course of Indo-Pak relations and the legacy of unsung heroes.
In this episode of Fine Print, we dive into a chilling alternate reality — what if the Watergate scandal was never exposed? No Woodward and Bernstein, no smoking gun, no resignation. Would Nixon have finished his term? Would presidential power have gone unchecked? Join us as we unravel how one hidden crime could have rewritten the rules of American democracy forever.
What if East and West Berlin stayed divided? In this episode, we imagine a world where the Cold War never ended. No reunified Germany, no fall of communism — just two rival worlds locked in place. From tech and culture to global power shifts, we trace the ripple effects of a wall that never came down.
In this episode of Fine Print, we dive into one of history’s most prominent "what ifs": what if young Adolf Hitler had been accepted into the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna? Would World War II have happened? Could millions of lives have been saved by a paintbrush?
