On Thursday’s episode, journalist Alexandros Klossas from Attica TV and Parapolitika joined us to discuss the recent closure of the news channel, the uncertain future of its employees, and the broader impact on journalism every time such an event occurs.
In the second part of the program, we turned our attention to Western Attica. With insights from Mr. Grigoris Gourdoumichalis, President of PESYDAP (Environmental Association of the Municipalities of Athens and Piraeus), we informed our listeners about an upcoming event on Sunday, June 1st, at Mount Aigaleo: a 7-kilometer mountain trail race and a scenic hiking route—an ideal opportunity to explore one of Attica’s most overlooked natural landmarks.
The final segment featured journalist Sotiris Margioris, artistic director of the “Heraia–Pythagoreia” Festival on Samos. Speaking from the Voice of Greece studio, he shared details about this year’s festival program and the unique charm of the island. Our discussion also highlighted a major cultural moment: the filming of Brave New Love, a Danish–Swedish co-production shot at the Heraion of Samos, which included a reenactment of the traditional Heraia–Pythagoreia procession—a powerful cinematic tribute to the island’s heritage.
