Today we are talking with Chris Sturdevant who recently returned from a trip in North Korea

Has you know North Korea is probably the most Secretive Country on the face of the planet and Chris had the chance to participate in an international Track meet, Visit the USS Pueblo and see other sights while there.  I heard about Chris via Armando F. Sanchez’s series on Cold War Spying and could not pass up the chance to have this show. 

Below is a Channel 4 Milwaukee news interview and provides context on Chris’s visit to North Korea.

MILWAUKEE - It's one of the few places Americans supposedly cannot go, but Chris Sturdevant ran through the streets of North Korea earlier this month as a welcome tourist.

"The people of North Korea are very warm, they're very genuine, they are very welcoming," Sturdevant said of his brief trip to the capital city of Pyongyang.

The librarian and competitive runner ventured into the communist nation as part of a running tour group. Some ran in the Pyongyang marathon, Sturdevant raced the 10K, finishing second in his group.
