If you like gulags, famine, State TV, slave labor, tuberculosis, and nuclear winter, then this is the podcast for you!
Some very interesting information in there but quite repetitive and rambling at times.
Sometimes I like to take a deep dive into North Korea and I love how real this podcast is. It’s not click bait, it’s honest and portrays North Korean people in a way that the western media wouldn’t dare do because it would pull in views. I’m sad that the last episode was from 2023. Zoe, if you see this I hope you start podcasting again once you get to go back to North Korea. As an American I will have to live vicariously through you until relations between countries change.
I request a North Korean defector as a “special guest” to provide a counter viewpoint of someone who was raised there. I gave it a shot to make sure I wasn’t judging before I listened, but I believe promoting tourism to a country with deplorable human rights is disgusting and dangerous.
