This isn’t my typical kind of podcast, so I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it. But it is really fantastic. Not only does it tell the story of Kim Jong-nam, but it provides a lot of context regarding the history of North Korea. I came to better understand why North Korea is the way it is today.

A wonderful podcast! Very informative with interesting information that I’ve never heard of. I didn’t mind the narrator’s tone or delivery of the podcast like other people have mentioned. I wish it wouldn’t end!
