On Friday, 13 November 2026, following a review of the newspaper front pages and current affairs, we spoke with international relations analyst Alexandros Drivas, asking him for a measured assessment of developments in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Greece–Cyprus electricity interconnection project, including the presence of a French research vessel in the area and the controversy surrounding France’s diplomatic note. Ivana Djordjevic then presented the latest international news.
In the second hour, we were joined by phone by George Lignos, a musicologist, music producer, and sound engineer, following his win in the Best Music Recording & Mixing category at the SAE Awards. Based in Brisbane, Australia, Lignos works in music and audio technology. We discussed his career and listened to two songs performed by the “Ellinikes Fones” choir, which he founded with his wife, Christina Xydi. The choir brings together members of Australia’s Greek community to preserve Greek musical traditions and the Greek language.
In the final part of the program, we welcomed Roumpini Terzaki, a sociologist and psychologist, president of the nonprofit organization “Child and Family,” and president of the “H.U.G. Mental Health” network of mental health organizations. Together, we examined longstanding issues facing charitable organizations in Greece, prompted by recent allegations that members of an organization had misappropriated donations intended for children with serious illnesses.
The program concluded with sports news presented by Michalis Ladopoulos.
