“Squid Game” Season 2 heads back into the arena

The Korean drama Squid Game became the most popular offering in Netflix’s history by combining pitch-black satire of late-stage capitalism with bloody violence. In Season 2, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) winds up sucked back into the games, where he must fight for his life, try to destroy the system from the inside, and rally new players to his cause.

This episode is hosted by Stephen Thompson, with guests Janet Woojeong Lee and Jae-Ha Kim.

The audio was produced by Mike Katzif and edited by Jessica Reedy. (NPR has uploaded a transcript of this conversation here.)
