A Long Road Home is a series of real-world stories about the people who work in the on-demand economy. If you’re anything like me, you probably use your phone on a daily basis to get help from people you’ve never met before through services like lyft, uber, instacart, and rinse. These types of businesses make it easy to get help while simultaneously increasing our interactions with strangers every day. My goal for this podcast is to tell some of the amazing stories of the people behind the apps that you use every day.
In this, our second episode, of our first season, Charles tells us about his relationship with his estranged father, how he was recaptured by the North Korean government, why he ended up working in a coal mine, and what life is like as a homeless child in North Korea. It's an amazing story, so let's get to it!
