Fisher is the author of the Web site One Stop Korea.

While North Korea is open to Chinese and some Japanese tourists, very few Americans are allowed to visit. When they are, every minute of the trip is monitored and controlled.

We spend the hour talking with Scott about the control and spectacle of his 2002 trip.
