We're back from the winter break and midder than ever! This week we learn how salamanders tricked medieval Europeans into thinking they were fireproof and how Prussian immigrant Charles Dellschau's forgotten aeronautical notebooks came to shock the art world 40 years after his death. A listener email tells the harrowing tale of how astronaut Sergei Krikalev got stuck in space after the fall of the Soviet Union.
