It Happened Here 2024

Dramatized political parable

This show was binge-ready, but now it's not. 😢

It may have switched to an "always on" status, or the creator may have stopped using Season Number and/or Episode Number values. Or they're inconsistent with their tagging, have removed episodes, or made other changes—intentional or not—leading to a less-than-binge-ready listener experience.

Or... it could be our fault. We might have listed the show too early, and episodes are still releasing. Regardless, it's currently in a state that disqualifies it from being listed in our directory, as it's no longer binge-ready.

Yikes! Something odd is happening with this show making the episodes inaccessible or the entire show no longer binge-ready.

Here's the last note we made on Apr 18, 2025, which may nor may not be helpful: Complete Limited Series (additional seasons are not planned, but are possible)
