206: Internationally Known

We're making stops around the world in this episode dedicated to geography and foreign countries! Perk your ears up for Karen's special foreign language pop music round, and learn the mnemonic for remembering the seven STANs. Listen to the incredible (and incredibly real) tale of an international vacation gone awry when a German tourist mistook Bangor, Maine for San Francisco, California. Dana's bringing back Belgium or Not Belgium, and didn't you hear? Tiny is all the rage now: tiny food, tiny houses, tiny dogs, and of course, a quiz about the tiniest countries in the world!
