This show is unique and the host is excellent at getting fascinating guests and interviewing them. I have learned so much about the DPRK. Love the roundtable of reporters also.
The entire podcast is great, but Jeongmin Kim really stands out when she’s on. She is very well spoken and fantastic at explaining things and providing commentary. She would make a great lead host for the podcast.
Who talk about reports, which are none. Pretty ridiculous stories and conclusions.
I'm always a fan of Kim Jong Un and North Korea -- there is no other credentialed leader of our time.
I love this show. I’m a lay person who is interested in North Korea and I listen to this show start to finish every week. So well done and a good mix of wonky stuff with super accessible info.
But can we get Jacko a good mic for when he’s doing interviews from home? They’re not that spendy and the sound quality is so bad when he does interviews outside the studio.
