The latest developments from current affairs in Greece were presented by “Take Your Time” on Thursday, 08 January 2026, to listeners of Voice of Greece.
Following a review of the day’s newspaper headlines, the programme commented on key political issues with political analyst Maria Karaklioumi, shortly before the presentation of international news by Ivana Djortzevic.
In the second hour of the show, the discussion continued with Diamanto Kritikou, President of the Amyntaio Farmers’ Association, in an effort to decode the next steps of the farmers gathered at roadblocks across Greece, their reaction to the measures announced by the government, and the likelihood of a meeting taking place in the coming days.
Immediately afterwards, the program connected live with Germany and introduced a Greek musician who has been making her mark on the music scene, based in Stuttgart. The interview with pianist Athina Bardakou was prompted by her upcoming piano recitals: on Saturday evening, 10 January, in Mannheim, and the following Sunday, 18 January, in Augsburg.
Shortly before the sports segment, the program connected with the ski resort at Velouchi Ski Center, speaking with resort manager Triantafyllos Chatzopoulos about mountain activities, visitor numbers during the holiday period, and plans to extend the resort’s operation beyond the winter season with alternative outdoor activities.
The sports news was presented by Antigoni Drakatou.
