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.

What do the Minoans, Hagia Sophia, the Pontians, ‘Baboula’, the Ottomans and the croissant all have in common? Not much on face value, but they all unwittingly play a role in a millennia-long journey that leads directly to the event we know as the Greek Genocide. Dr Panayiotis Diamadis has been the Vice-President of the Australian Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, and holds a Research Doctorate in Genocide Studies, where his thesis was titled "Hellenism under the Crescent: a case study in an ongoing genocide.” Panayioti takes the boys on an incredible journey through the ages that doesn’t quite go the way you might expect. From genocide denial, through to the effects on our modern Greek communities of the Diaspora, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!
