Voice of Greece, ERT’s global radio service, is adding four new shows to its lineup, inviting Greeks around the world to tune in and join the conversation. From the fascination of words and the musical paths of rebetiko to stories that brighten our Sundays and economic issues that affect our lives, the new shows combine discovery with the pleasure of listening, and information with the warmth of radio companionship.
Journalist Sakis Tsaras takes listeners on a journey through music and history in “The Paths of Rebetiko,” which he produces and hosts. Drawing on Greece’s urban folk tradition, the show explores lesser-known aspects of a musical genre that remains vibrant and continues to move audiences. It airs every Thursday, from 22:00 to 23:00 Athens time, beginning Thursday, 12 November 2026.
“Everyday Economics,” hosted by Dimitris Kontogiannis, joined by Giorgos Papageorgiou, focuses on the economy, employment, social insurance, and markets. Industry experts, academics from Greece and abroad, and government officials analyze developments and explain what they mean for the daily lives of listeners in Greece and across the Greek diaspora. The show airs every Saturday, from 11:00 to 12:00 Athens time, beginning Saturday, 14 November 2026.
In “It All Starts at the Root,” Sophia Kalantzi traces the roots of words and follows their paths into the world of ideas. Through mythology, philosophy, and the study of concepts, she explores their meanings and their connections to life’s enduring questions. The show airs every Saturday, from 23:00 to midnight Athens time, beginning Saturday, 14 November 2026.
Finally, “Stories for a Sunday,” with Fotis Papoulias, brings everything we love about Sundays to the airwaves: familiar aromas, laughter and conversation, sweet treats, and Greek coffee, medium-sweet or sweet. With the warmth of a gathering of family and friends, we share stories that bring us closer to Greeks around the world and give the day a flavor all its own. The show airs every Sunday, from 16:00 to 18:00 Athens time, beginning Sunday, 15 November 2026.
