Nothing is impossible for this week's topics. Throw it on a vision board and get it done. Nat takes us on a run through the story of Cathy Freeman, the first Australian aboriginal woman to medal at the Olympics. And Cass takes us out to sea with Captain Robert Smalls whose daring sea escape from slavery could have gone wrong at every turn.
