The Monocle Weekly

Back in London following the launch of the Monocle shop in Tokyo, the team check-in with Richard Lloyd Parry, Asia editor for The Times, for the latest news on the stand-off between North and South Korea. Our Nairobi correspondent Steve Bloomfield is in the studio to talk about his new book, Africa United - How Football Explains Africa, ahead of the World Cup, and we hear about a new audio project that combines the art of the short story with the unique quality of vinyl LPs, from its founder Nathan Dunne.
