This post breaks with tradition in that the news events it mentions are listed backwards in time. The post is a collection of recordings I made off shortwave, reflecting significant milestones in the North Korean nuclear crisis to date. The recordings were made between September 3, 2017, when the DPRK conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test to date, and June 13, 2018, when the North Korean state media reported the meeting between Kim Jong Un and the 45th US President, Donald Trump, one day after the event.
