North Korea is the subject of our 31^st episode, with best-selling author Mark Bowden (“Black Hawk Down” and “Killing Pablo”), among others. His new reported piece for The Atlantic, “The Worst Problem in the World”, examines the complexity of the North Korea nuclear threat and evaluates all four policy options facing the United States. After a deep dive into North Korea, we discuss his other writing subjects, including Vietnam and Pablo Escobar, as well as his own process for writing, what future subjects he is considering, and what advice he has for young writers.
