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.

Photographer, Effy Alexakis, and historian, Leonard Janiszewski, have in many ways become the dynamic duo of documenting the experience of the Greek diaspora both in Australia and abroad. With Effy's camera capturing moments and Leonard providing the historical context, the pair have managed to create a body of work worthy of being recognised as culturally significant. Their work includes exhibitions, books, public talks and more. The pair sit down with Tom and Nick to discuss everything from the earliest Greek migration to Australia, the gold rushes, the Milk Bars and Cafes that came to characterise the Greek experience in Australia and documenting the ghost villages and houses left behind in Greece as a result of migration.
