Description

In part three of a conversation with conscientious objector, pacifist and 1950s aid worker Joe Smucker, he discusses the paranoia and chaos that he witnessed in a country in the grip of a post-colonial and post-war reality.  Plus, more on the Mennonites and their relationship with South Korea.  

Also: an e-mail from a listener whose grandparents participated in educational and agricultural efforts in Daejon during the post-war period.  

Music on this episode is from ??? with her 1960s trot classic '?????'.
