This show keeps me in the know on what’s going on in Korea and has become an essential part of my weekly listening. Great hosts and great analysis - I highly recommend this to people working in and working with Korea.
This weekly podcast not only is informative but the interaction between John Lee and Jeongmin Kim is priceless. When John gets on a roll it is entertaining.
A fantastic podcast. I am so happy it isn't behind a paywall. Having listened to the NK News Podcast for years I am familiar with the insight and knowledge of one of the hosts but the other is new to me and he brings the knowledge and opinions fast and with wit. Their rapport is obvious. I will listen to the back catalog and then listen every week from here on out.
Good work Jeongmin and John!
