Join us for a very special episode as we commemorate Oxi Day – the historic moment on October 28, 1940, when Greece famously defied Mussolini's ultimatum, shouting a resounding “No!” to fascist occupation. This act of defiance marked Greece’s entry into WWII, leaving a profound mark on world history, as Greece’s resistance slowed Axis powers and inspired global hope. Special, expert guest Greek Consul General, Yiannis Mallikourtis, brings a behind the scenes look into the history of the moment, while WWII aficionado, Nick Andriotakis, shares both the global and Australian reaction to the act of defiance. A must listen for all history buffs and members of the Greek diaspora.

We revisit what has in many ways become an iconic Ouzo Talk chat with comedian, actor and writer, Angelo Tsarouchas! Ever wondered what it’d be like to have a stand-up comedian give you a private performance at home? This episode is your answer! Angelo joined Tom and Nick in Sydney during season one of Ouzo Talk as part of his Australian tour – and he had the boys in stitches from the get-go. Covering everything from growing up Greek in Canada and his time as a travel agent, to becoming a comedian and actor and ultimately touring the world with performers like Russell Peters, Angelo and the boys were in fine form. With the help of some ouzo, the trio also take on political correctness in comedy, plus the Will Smith/Chris Rock incident at The Oscars.

Famed Bouzouki player Manolis Michalakis drops by Ouzo Talk to talk all things Rebetika and the instrument that has come to characterise the genre. Often referred to as 'the blues of Greece', Rebetika is an important part of Greece's musical and cultural heritage, in a marriage of instruments and styles that draw inspiration from ancient Greece, right through to Smyrna in the early 20th century. With the help of our resident Bouzouki expert, George Calopedos, the boys share a few drinks, play some songs and get to the bottom of this important genre.
