Ep. 45 Living in Pyongyang Relatively... Freely? Life in North Korea with the UN (Pt. 2)

Ep. 45 Living in Pyongyang Relatively... Freely? Life in North Korea with the UN (Pt. 2)

With special Fragkiska Megaloudi, author of 'In The Land of Kim'.


I am joined by Fragkiska Megaloudi who spent two years living in North Korea under the UN, an organisation with a surprising amount of freedom to roam around the country. Or, so it used to be. Fragkiska is a fascinating individual with an incredible background. We couldn't help but chat for 2 hours, so this episode will be in two parts.
