Language defines us as a species, placing humans head and shoulders above even the most proficient animal communicators. But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

North Korea remains the world's most opaque and enigmatic state, a hermit kingdom forged in the crucible of Japanese colonialism, the Korean War, and the Cold War. This show, hosted by Lucas and Luna, peels back the layers of secrecy to explore the full sweep of North Korean history from the ancient kingdom of Gojoseon to the Kim dynasty's nuclear brinkmanship. We delve into the rise of the Kim Il-sung personality cult, the brutal purges of the 1950s and 1960s, the devastating Arduous March famine of the 1990s, and the country's controversial Juche ideology. We examine the dynastic succession ...
