Terrific reporting, engaging story and characters

Only a few episodes in and I'm hooked. A podcast about North Korean drug trafficking wouldn't typically catch my attention. But this came highly recommended, and after just a few episodes, I understand why. This compelling tale provides an unusual view into the hermit kingdom via the crew/smugglers of the Pong Su — as they face heavy seas, Australian investigators, and likely worse fates back in NOKO if they fail.
Really Good

Very interesting story and engaging storyteller
Disappointing

If you like hearing old Aussie blokes in bars talk about the time they “almost died” surfing, and you enjoy hearing stereotypical Asian accents voiced by actors when original recordings with traditional translation voiceover would do just fine, then this is the podcast for you.
Wow. Excellent in Every Way

One of the most interesting podcasts I have heard in years. I am midway and don’t want it to end.
