Listen "SotF 2016: Touring North Korea: Beyond the Potemkin"
Episode Synopsis
Tours of North Korea are criticised for being Potemkin tours where the visitors are on a state conveyor belt to see 'the best of the best', and see nothing 'real'. This illustrated talk challenges that criticism and asks what a tour can really tell us beyond the western narrative about the country. We also have an exclusive interview with Robin alongside this podcast. Robin Tudge is a writer and tour leader, specialising in North Korea where he been visiting since 2001. Originally from London, he has lived and worked in Chicago, Moscow, Beijing, and Hanoi, and is the author of three books. Find out more by following him on twitter @robintudge
