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.
Comedian and gay icon Gus Constantellis rocketed to fame impersonating his Greek mom on social media. After she died, he wrote My Greek Mom’s Recipe in tribute. Part memoir, part cookbook, it’s a funny, heartbreaking glimpse into their complicated relationship, and in managing grief, the Greek way.
Greek and Spanish are two TOTALLY different languages, but some words sound alike. Misunderstandings and mixups are par for the course in our Spanish-Greek family.
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!
