Robert Bacon, Mike Kauffman, and Bobby Smithney tackle one of the 20th century’s most infamous symbols: the Berlin Wall. Erected in 1961, the Wall didn’t just divide a city—it divided families, friends, and an entire ideology. Built almost overnight by East Germany, it was meant to stop the mass exodus of citizens fleeing to the West, but it also became a monument to political absurdity, paranoia, and human ingenuity.

The hosts explore the Wall’s construction, its impact on everyday life, daring escapes, and the increasingly bizarre lengths people went to in order to cross it. From tightrope walkers and homemade hot-air balloons to tunnels dug by hand, the Berlin Wall became a theater of human courage and folly—all set against a backdrop of Cold War tension and bureaucratic blunders.It’s a story of walls, mistakes, and monumental human absurdity—delivered with humor, insight, and the signature style of Mistakes Were Made.
