[PODCASTS] Big Brother: North Korea’s Forgotten Prince

Kim Jong-nam should be the ruler of North Korea. Instead, he was the victim of the 21st century’s most bizarre assassination plot. A deep look inside a decades-long saga broiling with deceit, palace gossip, and political backstabbing—shedding light on the machinations of the most secretive nation on the planet.

Kim Jong-nam's 2017 dwelled in the headlines for awhile and I had completely forgotten about the event until this podcast came across my feed. Part history lesson, part biography, the podcast untangles how two non-Korean women were manipulated to carry out the assassination under the guise of a TV prank. Totally fascinating!
