Content Warning - This episode discusses themes and experiences that some viewers may find unsettling.

Timothy Cho has an unforgettable story to tell. After escaping North Korea, at the second attempt, Tim has built himself a life here in Greater Manchester as a global speaker on the issues of human rights within his home country.

From his arrival in Bolton 15 years ago, to learning English from the back of sports pages to then graduating from our Politics programme after three years of grit and determination, we cover his fascinating story in depth.

Trust us, this is an interview like no other.
