Rediscovering and Redefining “Koreatown” w/ Deuki Hong and Matt Rodbard

On this week’s menu: a follow-up conversation about South Korea’s soft power and how cultural influence - especially through food - can amplify a country’s presence beyond its own borders and into a “global mainstream”. Lending us their informed perspective are chef Deuki Hong and food journalist Matt Rodbard. They’ve co-written the New York Times Bestselling book KOREATOWN and have now released a delicious sequel KOREAWORLD. So they know a thing or two. Watching the full video episodes on YouTube. Check out KOREAWORLD: Penguin Random HouseFollow Deuki:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deukihongFollow Matt:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattrodbardFollow Us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fulldiscoursepodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fulldiscoursepod Follow the host Josh:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejoshelkin TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejoshelkin YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thejoshelkinThis has been a Diamond MPrint ProductionProduced by Diane Kang and Melisa D.
