Gal pal Γιούλη wants a pet chicken but a very special breed of chicken, she also answered my questions about veganism and got surprised to hear that I hug trees like the true hippie that I am deep down. Please enjoy the first interview episode of the second season. :D
My heart's been shattered in a million pieces lately due to what's been happening in Ukraine (I am half Ukrainian for those of you who don't know) and I felt myself consumed by despair and deep sadness. And in the past few days I decided to do just little things to make myself feel better. I hope these help you too.
'Imzadi' means 'my beloved' in Betazed, a language in Star Trek. In this week's episode, my own imzadi, my chosen family for 21 years, my best friend Χαρίδημος has joined me on the podcast. We chatted about architecture, well being, videogames, the sick names we call each other.

The wonderful and legendary mr. Luca Lampariello honored me with his presence on the podcast, and the conversation was just *belissima*. Luca and I talked about the people behind the languages - who we are, what we do, what we like beyond our work as language teachers and language enthusiasts.Grab some popcorn because this episode is a longboi.~ Subscribe to Luca's channelhttps://www.youtube.com/c/LucaLampariello~ Luca's websitehttps://www.lucalampariello.com
... and every communication is a request for love. I heard these words from a wise man and it took me a few years to fully understand what he meant. Now I do, and I want to share his wisdom with you.
Ah, the joys of the self-employed Brain. Always on standby for the next best idea, the next exciting project, the next creative endeavour. But sometimes it's okay to remind the Brain the joys of just being. On my holidays in Crete this year, the Brain protested, but the Brain succumbed and Mind gained Peace. :D
Well, my first date here I ate ντολμαδάκια and I am already in culinary heaven. Bon Appetit!
I spent years and years thinking of what's the 'perfect' place to live until I decided that there is no such place and I could either accept the place I currently am at, or try and change some things if I can. The grass is greener where you water it, namastay healthy and happy.
P.S: I didn't like Le Petit Prince, either :PGreek versions of the books mentioned:~ Σιντάρτα ~ Sapiens ~ Τα Μυστικά Του Ύπνου ~ Ο Κόμης του Μόντε Κρίστο ~ Ο Μεγάλος Γκάτσμπυ
weeeeeeeeeee hello and welcome to a shiny brand new new episode!Putting yourself in a good mental state in order to make learning a pleasant experience is *a hill I will die on* both because I will continue advocating it but also because I am the worst at following my own advice. I literally stressed myself out of learning German, and I heckin love German. Anyway. Εντζόι!!!
One day I was looking at the wold map and my eyes fell on this weird place: Ulaanbaatar....Ula-what?So then I looked it up on wikipedia and started reading about this wonderful place called Mongolia, about which I had heard so little throughout my life but now I was discovering that it's fascinating and beautiful and the language sounds like nothing I'd ever heard before.Now, years later, Mongolia holds a special place (the specialest place!) in my heart. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode, where I talk about Genghis Khan's death & burial, and some other facts about the country. ~ The song heard at 03:06 is ''Chinggis Khaanii Magtaal'' (Ode to Chinggis Khaan) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_5yt5IX38I] by Batzorig Vaanchig~ Subscribe to Batzorig's channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7iOOQkDrWY-xfGCFQXmbfg ~ Support him on PayPal:http://www.paypal.me/munkhmaral ~ or on Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/batzorigvaanchig
This is my most favourite story of all time: Kugelmugel, and how it came to be. Edwin Lipburger was a hero and and icon, and I hope you enjoy listening and learning all about it.
It's the season finale, and what better way to end it than having a *guest*!The wonderful Giouli from Linguatree and I chatted about life in Britain and the differences we noticed between our hometowns, Patra and Heraklion, and the cities we currently live, London and Glasgow. We might be greeks, but let's just say, Britain has stolen our hearts.Γιούλη, σε ευχαριστώ πολύ!~ Giouli's Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPqHlUAC__nD0_-OTNA4G5Q
Uranus pushed his kids back into Gaia's womb, Cronus swallowed his children and Zeus swallowed his wife whilst she was pregnant with Athena. Hesiod was basically the George R Martin of his time and he wrote stories full of intrigue and imagination.In this slow greek episode: prophecies, revenge, and why you shouldn't eat your kids or your wives for dinner.
The absolute drink of all drinks, the King, the Slumber Chaser, the Dark Elixir, the one and only: Coffee. In this slow greek episode you hear of how my love story with coffee has unfolded throughout the years.
Not much can be said about the absolute revelation that have been Yearly Themes. It's all arbitrary and self-improvement goals can be set anytime, anyway, but if I'm going to do it, I might as well do it effectively. This slow greek episode is all about how I make Themes *work* for me. Happy 2021, y'all!~ Cortex Podcast Yearly Themes episode:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zugiZ73SyM~ CGPGrey's video on Yearly themes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVGuFdX5guE
''The Chronicles of Narnia: The Russian, the Wrath and the Monk'' coming to a theater near you. Current Me does not support or endorse such behaviours and is nowadays a law-abiding citizen. But this is a slow greek podcast about a time when I wasn't.
What do you want to be when you grow up? Well, based on my dream careers, I wanted to be every obscure career under the sun. Study the Yeti? Be the Queen of Fashion? Be a Nobel laureate? A model? Yes. Yes to everything, I'll take one of each, please. This slow greek episode is a tale of careers that never came to be.
Public speaking is one of the most fun things I can possibly imagine. It's such a great challenge, and there are so many things you can learn, from body language to vocal variety, to eye contact with your audience as well as the structure of your speech. In this slow greek episode I tell you the story of how I got into it. Aaaaahh, the more I learn about public speaking, the more I love it. Bring the speeches on!
If you've ever been in a place that simply feels like home, you'll understand my feelings about the majestic city of Vienna. She was love at first sight, she will the the face I can't forget, she's perfect and I love her and every time I visit the city again, I fall in love again. Please enjoy this slow greek podcast where I rave about Vienna for four minutes straight.
Despite being greek, I don't know many greek myths beyond the very famous ones. Today, after searching far and wide for myths full of heart and meaning, I present to you the (super famous) story of Arachne, and the (not quite famous) story of Cyparissus.My greek heart is warm. Whilst you enjoy this slow greek podcast I'm gonna go drink some ouzo whilst reciting Epictetus to connect with my ancestral roots.
I don't have enough words to describe how much I adore sushi. It's perfect, it's amazing, it's the gift that keeps on giving. A balanced symphony of aromas, textures and tastes that takes you to unexpected journeys as you enjoy this East Asian delicacy, bestowed generously to us by our unknown ancestors a long long time ago.Dip your imagination in some soy sauce and lightly roasted sesame seeds and enjoy this slow greek episode, where I humbly teach you how to make sushi.
It is true that, when a concrete city connoisseur like me finds themselves surrounded by more than 4 trees and 5 shrubs at a time, the disturbance in the atmosphere, the misalignment of energy, and the unbalance of chakras is abundant and clear.But one must do the right thing and exit the warm and fuzzy land of Comfort Zone in order to sprout and grow like the very trees one is so desperately avoiding.This is a slow greek story of an Urban Rat spending time in Nature.
Scotland must have a heck of a lot of positive things for me to leave the Mediterranean paradise that is my greek island, Crete. In this slow greek episode, I tell you all the reasons why I am happy to tolerate the lack of sunshine and cuisine. (spoiler: it's because Scotland is a gem like no other and I love it with all my heart)
Many people workout because they want to feel healthy, I workout because I want to be able to eat as much vegan chocolate as my heart pleases. But hey, what's important is that we do exercise and our bodies (and our future selves!) thank us for that. 60 year old Daria better be super grateful for all the kilometers I've been running in the cold Scottish winter. Please enjoy this slow greek episode where I talk about running, yoga and watching Roland Garros matches as a kid.
Some of us were born with the Gordon Ramsay / Anthony Bourdain gene, and we're quite happy cooking rice every day. But in this majestic slow greek episode I recount the tale of how I managed to make a semi-complex greek dish, aaaaall byyyyy myyyyyyseeeeeeeelf.
