This week we deep dive into how at the height the Cold War the United States and USSR put on cultural exchange fairs for each other and Michel and Nadine Vaujour pulled off one of the most dramatic helicopter prison escapes ever. A listener email clues us into the music career of a non-scientist Oppenheimer.
