Ouzo Talk

The podcast for Greeks of the diaspora. Join Sydney-based Greek-Australians Tom Skolarikis and Nick Athanassiou as they bring the Ouzo-fuelled conversations of ‘kaffeneia’ the Greek world over, right to your ears. From music, history and culture, to science, philosophy and everything in between, Ouzo Talk is all about 'parea' and celebrating the things that make us Greek. With a bottle of Ouzo always on the table, there's no telling where the conversation might go. It's solving the world’s problems – one bottle of Ouzo at a time.

Ouzo Talk salutes Greece’s iconic national airline; Olympic Airways. From secret FBI investigations into owner, Aristotle Onassis, to conspiracy theories around the death of his son Alexandros Onassis in a plane crash, this is the story of a Greek icon like you've never heard it before. With author of the book Olympic Airways – A History, Graham M Simons, joining Tom and Nick, the boys fly through inspiring, and often turbulent skies. From the airline’s humble beginnings, to glamorous Pierre Cardin uniforms and the jet-set, all the way through to Government ownership and the airline's decline. One thing’s for sure; whenever Greeks saw an Olympic aircraft land in their city, it was a source of pride. So whether you're an aviation enthusiast, a history buff, or simply curious about the world of aviation, this is the episode for you.
