Today on Word of Mouth, the day the wall of Communism crumbled. Twenty years ago today, the wall that divided east and west Germany fell to the ground. The Berlin Wall separated hundreds of German couples, like modern Romeos and Juliets. We’ll find out how they’re faring two decades after reuniting. And, today’s Berlin, a haven for working artists and now a world art capital. Plus, from the mixtape to the answering machine, what gets lost when technology and traditions become obsolete.
