MY GREEK TV: ON HISTORY, SATIRE AND CULTURAL ANALYSIS

My Greek TV (or Romaic Ruminations, or Greek Gropings) (YouTube channel, Facebook) is a new Greek-Australian podcast about  the hidden history, culture, and identity of Hellenism, from the Stone Age to the modern diaspora. The podcast is presented by Dean Kalynniou and Peter Stefanidis. Kalymniou is popular within the Greek community of Australia through his column in the Melbourne Greek newspaper Neos Kosmos. He is also a well-known poet and short story writer. He is widely noted as one of the few Australian born Greek poets who produce literature in the Greek language. He has published seven poetry collections (Wikipedia). Here's the first of four podcasts already posted.
