It’s been 500 days since our friend Michael Spavor — and his fellow Canadian Michael Kovrig — were taken into custody by the Chinese government, very likely as a result of “hostage diplomacy” with Canada.
This week, Jacco is joined by NK News CEO Chad O’Carroll, Kyungnam University’s Dean J. Ouellette, filmmaker Chris Petersen-Clausen, and travel writer Martin Zatko to discuss the conditions Michael is being held in, reminisce about our favorite stories, and talk about what you can do to help him and his family in this difficult time.
Please consider donating to help Michael here.
