The past cannot be changed. But what if you could… cheat it? In the future, people have let machines run their world, and only a select few remain free thinkers. With the machines run by an increasingly repressive Regime, one of the last scientists builds a time machine to try to prevent the world from getting in this mess. But history cannot be changed. She will have to... cheat it. By pulling people from the past who disappeared, she can recruit a team of heroes to save the future. Cheating History is a new narrative podcast starring Winter Bassett, Colette Freedman, David Blixt, Scout Purdy, John Kassir, and Alfred Molina (along with others who will join as the series progresses). It is created by Nunzio DeFilippis & Christina Weir (NEW X-MEN, KIM POSSIBLE, AMAZING AGENT LUNA, ARLI$$) and Jenny Sterner (APARTMENT 30).https://cheatinghistorypodcast.comfalseepisodichttps://feeds.captivate.fm/cheating-history/nopodcastEpisode Four: The PlanEpisode Four: The PlanEllie and Amelia recruit D.B.
