Join us for a delightful smattering of stories. Angie starts us off by telling us about the Great Balloon Escape. During this story, two families, Strelzyk and Wetzel, smuggle themselves from East Germany over the Berlin Wall on September 16, 1978.

Theresa shares the lighthearted tale of Clara, the 18th-century rhinoceros who became a European sensation.

This episode pairs well with: 
That time David Bowie caused the Berlin Wall to fall
Sargent Stubby, the stray dog who served in WWI
