579: Yeonmi Park | A North Korean Girl’s Journey to Freedom Part Two

Yeonmi Park (@YeonmiParkNK) is a North Korean defector and activist whose harrowing experiences are chronicled in her book In Order to Live: A North Korean Girl's Journey to Freedom. [This is part two of a two-part episode. Catch up with part one here!]

What We Discuss with Yeonmi Park:
  • Why there's a black market for poop in North Korea.
  • How the people of North Korea are kept isolated from the outside world to the extent that they use a different calendar, have never heard of Shakespeare, and don't even have words for "oppression" or "love."

  • Why Yeonmi finds being on the North Korean regime's official kill list to be "liberating."
