	Description:		Kim Il Sung is a Cold War curiosity, but his presence looms over North Korea today as something resembling the state religion of the DPRK. In this episode we talk about Kim Il Sung as a man (and myth) and in the next episode we’ll look deeper into his political philosophy of juche, which guides North Korea today. In the grand scheme of the Cold War, Kim makes some moves early on in the Korean War that puts him on the map. We could just as easily work him into the story of the Korean War, but given the situation in the world where there’s a lot of eyes on North Korea, we’ll do an episode about him because I feel understanding Kim and the idea of juche explains a lot about North Korea and his grandson and current head of state, Kim Jong Un.
