North Korea: What's the Deal?

# Stuff You Should Know: North Korea

Josh and Chuck break down the complex history and current geopolitical situation surrounding North Korea, exploring everything from how the country came into existence after World War II to the surprising recent summit between North and South Korea. They dig into the Kim dynasty's decades of rule, the hermit kingdom's unique political philosophy, and the shocking recent diplomatic developments that have left analysts and world leaders cautiously optimistic yet deeply skeptical. From brutal famines to Dennis Rodman's unconventional visits, the guys unpack what's really going on behind the propaganda and whether this apparent about-face toward denuclearization is genuine reform or an elaborate negotiating tactic.
