MY GREEK TV: PETE AND DEAN JOIN THE CULTURE WARS
In this festive season's episode of My Greek TV (or Romaic Ruminations, or Greek Gropings, or Hellenic Hallucinations - suggestions for a new title are ongoing), Greek Aussies, Dean Kalymniou and Peter Stefanidis (YouTube channel, Facebook) continue their series of educational podcasts. This time they are discussing the "somewhat uncomfortable" relationship between Greek identity, language, and faith in the modern diaspora. Oh noes, have Pete and Dean become captive to the liberal hate campaign against nations and ethnic pride? Say it ain't so!
Dec. 24, 2025 My Greek TV: Greek Identity Without Greek? Language, Faith, and the Diaspora - Episode 15.
They discuss World Greek Language Day, why it exists, and what it says about us when a language needs to be "celebrated" instead of spoken.
From diaspora shame and linguistic anxiety to Greek becoming a festival costume rather than a living tool, Pete and Dean ask the question few want to confront: "what exactly are we preserving"?
