Hey Everyone

For today’s episode I had on the pod Angelo from Hearth of Hellenism, and we talked about Polytheism, specifically speaking we talked about worshiping the Ancient Greek Gods. Random conversation I know…but this is something that we had on the to do list for a while now, so it was good to make some time and chat with a friend of the pod.

So why did we have a conversation about polytheism and the Gods of Olympus? Well for one, Angelo is practicing Polytheist, Something you don’t come across often, especially in the Greek Diaspora which is overwhelmingly, Greek Orthodox.

We talked about a lot of things. Yes of course, we talked about Polytheism, but we also talked about what it means to be a greek, to be a Hellene, to worship the Ancient Greek Gods, the role religion plays in the diaspora, cultural appropriation of Hellenism, and several other topics that the conversation veered into.

Enjoy the conversation everyone!

Additionally, we will introduce ourselves to the team that will carry out the well known Operation Harling, and what that operation actually looked like on the ground in practice.

Hey Everyone!

On todays episode we will get a closer look at the lives of TWO people who are a big part of our story going forward. Thanasis Kalaras, (AKA Aris Velouchiotis) and Napoleon Zervas. They are both controversial figures in their own way, and they are both regarded as everything ranging from traitors to patriots, depending on who you ask.

Enjoy!

Hey Everyone!

Today we (our guest co-host Dustin, and myself included) will get a brief introduction to the alphabet soup of acronyms that is the Greek Guerilla Resistance movement, or also known as, the Andartiko. This is meant just as a introduction of sorts, as all of these groups will come up in our story going forward. Some much more than others.

Enjoy!

Hello Everyone! Long Live the No! Happy Ohi Day!

For today's episode we have once again Dr. Dale Pappas, and we had a frank conversation about how the events leading up to and including the big NO are remembered by the Hellenic Nation. We also talked a lot about the legacy of the Ohi (NO), and what legacy Metaxas left behind as his controversial status of the man who helped deliver one of the greatest military victories in Hellenic History, and as a Dictator. Enjoy everyone!

Good Morning Comrades!

Today, (with our special guest Dustin, from NoneTaken podcast!) we will be getting properly acquainted with a group of people we have heard so much about, but not formerly met: The Communists. This faction within the Greek political scene will end up playing a major role , so I knew it was important to give you (the listeners) a thorough rundown. On this episode well cover just who these dirty Commies are, what they believe, what they want, their struggles and near extinction as a political force, and their survival throughout the authoritarianism of the 4th of August regime.
