On January 3, 2025, after the introduction referencing current events and the headlines of newspapers, we spoke with Manos Oikonomidis, a journalist and political analyst from ysterografa.gr, about current affairs and the prospects opening up for the new year, focusing the discussion on internal issues, the election of the President of the Republic, and the trajectory of the ruling parties, given the political fluidity that the year 2024 leaves behind.
In the second hour, we discussed with Mr. Manos Kraniadis, a civil engineer, secretary of information, and member of the board of POMIDA, the issue of apartments that are in the hands of funds after seizures and their obligations to apartment buildings.
The show concluded with a guest in the studio, singer-songwriter, performer, and poet Lida Chalkiadaki, an artist with a significant presence in the music scene during the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s. We talked about her relationship with music, which began with the influence of her mother, the unforgettable Danae Stratigopoulou, her explorations of musical genres and sounds from earlier decades, the voices she loved and that inspired her, as well as her important collaborations with major names in the music scene at the time, such as Vangelis Papathanassiou, Vangelis Germanos, Despoina Glezou, Yannis Markopoulos, Nikos Mamangakis, Mimis Plessas, Dionysis Savvopoulos, Nikos Xylouris, Mariza Koch, Domna Samiou, Kostas Tournas, Thanasis Gaifylias, Argyris Kounadis, and many others. We mentioned her legendary collaboration with her partner in music and life, Spyros Vlaxopoulos, which resulted in the significant LP Ilektrikos Apostperitis, from which songs like “When Your Son Is Born,” “My Machines,” and “Come See My Land” became beloved and frequently sung. We talked about today’s music scene and the projects she is preparing, as she remains active and creative, revealing the ongoing recording of her album To Zeibekiko Tis Alphavitas, as well as the crucial development in her life—the birth and raising of her three children, something she said she felt she deeply needed.
