Healing Dramas, Subtitles, and White Trucks of Doom with Brett Battles

S1 E8 / Brett Battles, thriller author and Kdrama fan, joins me this week to talk about Kdramas with emotional depth and a healing vibe.

🚛 We also delve into subtitles vs. dubbing as well as some tried and true tropes, like white dump trucks of doom.
