A podcast about all things Greek. History. Language. Lore. Culture. Food. Mythology. Family and more. From diners to the Ottoman Empire, from the history of baklava to Greek Independence. What it means to be Greek and how it shapes our world.
Even though my mom was born in NJ, like half a dozen of her cousins and her brother, the other kids were still called Americans. To differentiate them from the rest of us, the Greeks. Because we should be proud! Lucky for us she ruled the house and our lives with an iron fist!
Grieving a lost loved one doesn’t end with the funeral. My mother is still a part of our family, even though she’s been gone for ten years. Greeks (and all Orthodox) continue to remember, pray for, and celebrate our departed family members. Find out why, and how, we hold memorials year after year. And like everything else, afterwards, we eat!
