  1. The Reunification Village

    May 22

    The Reunification Village

    Can you reunify a divided people in a London suburb? For over 70 years, the Korean peninsula has been split into two. North and South Koreans can't cross the border, can't contact each other. But in New Malden, South West London, something impossible is happening: North Koreans, South Koreans, and Joseonjok Koreans from China are all living on the same streets. It's one of the few places on earth where this kind of coexistence exists. In this episode, Callum - born and raised in London - and Justina - a South Korean immigrant - take us inside New Malden. You'll hear about South Koreans encountering North Koreans for the first time, North Korean ladies rescuing recipes that can't be made back home anymore, and more stories of Koreans navigating their differences.
