#118 – Suki Kim's 2014 book WITHOUT YOU, THERE IS NO US, which documents her 2011 visit to North Korea as an English teacher to its elite students, is the topic of the hour. This episode was released very late because the time slipped away from Hao... but no matter! We talk about the nature of Korea's geopolitics today; we figure out Jack's juice problem; we dive into the sadness of the world today, bravely, like astronauts.

Plugs this week:

• The programming language Smalltalk (Jack)
• Sarah J. Maas's THRONE OF GLASS (Kate)
• Making friends (Hao)
