Ep 22: The US Travel Ban to North Korea & What it Means For Americans & North Koreans (LIFT Guest Special)
Listen now
Description
Today I'm joined by three special guests to discuss the US travel ban to North Korea, the impacts this has on North Korea, on a global scale, and indeed on American citizens themselves. We discuss everything from North Korean tourism to cultural exchanges in North Korea, and why even the US travel ban to North Korea exists. And finally, what you can do to help... A more political conversation today; please see the note at the end for a disclaimer in terms of this usually a-political podcast. A massive thank you to Beka and Ji-Yeon over at the LIFT Campaign and Ju-Yeon from Nodutdol for appearing on the show today.

Despite this topic being inherently political in nature, I have attempted as much as possible to stay concerned with the human side of things. Any political opinions and ideas shared by others on this podcast are not necessarily my own and I seek simply to facilitate the conversation. Nevertheless, what I will mention and what is clear in the podcast is that I do wish the US travel ban to North Korea can end as soon as possible so humanitarian work and cultural exchanges in North Korea that are so important to the country and on a global scale in terms of the peace-making process can continue operating as soon as possible.
