  • 🎙️Season 3 Episode 3 FTOU FTOU FTOU 🧿We don’t call it superstition. We call it Greek survival skills.
    Feb 18 2026

    In this episode, we dive into the habits every Greek knows — but can’t always explain. The evil eye (μάτι), δάγκωσε τη γλώσσα σου, garlic as protection, and coffee cup readings that somehow know things before they happen.

    Is it belief? Is it culture? Or is it just Greek logic at its finest?

    From folklore to faith, from tradition to humor, this episode explores why Greeks don’t need explanations — only experience.

    If you’ve ever spat after a compliment, read your future in a coffee cup, or tried explaining these things abroad… this episode is for you.

  • 🎙️Season 3 | Episode 2 – The Power of the Greek Diaspora
    Feb 11 2026

    Living abroad changes the way you see Greece — and it also reveals something powerful: the Greek diaspora is a true game changer.

    In Episode 2 of Season 3, we explore how millions of Greeks living outside Greece continue to shape the country’s culture, economy, politics, and global image. From preserving language and traditions, to investing back home, influencing international decisions, and supporting Greece in times of crisis, the diaspora remains one of Greece’s greatest strengths.

    Speaking as Greeks living abroad ourselves, we unpack the real impact of the diaspora — the pride, the responsibility, the challenges, and the untapped potential of this global Greek family.

    This episode is about identity beyond borders, connection beyond distance, and why Greece’s story cannot be told without its people abroad.

    🎙️ In this episode: • The Greek diaspora as cultural ambassadors • Economic impact and investment back home • Political influence and global advocacy • Social responsibility and connection to Greece

    Whether you live in Greece or abroad, this episode asks one powerful question: Is Greece truly listening to its diaspora?
