Ouzo Talk celebrates 20 years since Greece's iconic Euro 2004 win with three legends of that squad in; Captain and Player of the Tournament, Theodoros Zagorakis, winning goal-scorer Angelos Charisteas, and the incomparable Giorgos Karagounis. Against every imaginable odd, the Greek Football team defied the odds, the pundits, the haters, and no less than four of the best teams in World Football, to take out the inspiring victory. In the process, they humbled the best the world had to offer including Portugal's Luis Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo, the might of Spain, defending Euro Champions and World Cup winners France boating Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry, proving to generations of Greek fans globally that anything is possible. The Greek Legends – on tour in Australia thanks to the Football Brilliance Academy, join the boys in The Distillery to go behind the scenes of that win. If you're Greek, or a football fan... this is one not to miss.

Cameos from comedians Angelo Tsarouchas and Anthony Locascio, plus Kristina from Are You Even Greek.

NOTE: This episode is delivered in a combination of Greek and English.

Join us for a very special episode as we commemorate Oxi Day – the historic moment on October 28, 1940, when Greece famously defied Mussolini's ultimatum, shouting a resounding “No!” to fascist occupation. This act of defiance marked Greece’s entry into WWII, leaving a profound mark on world history, as Greece’s resistance slowed Axis powers and inspired global hope. Special, expert guest Greek Consul General, Yiannis Mallikourtis, brings a behind the scenes look into the history of the moment, while WWII aficionado, Nick Andriotakis, shares both the global and Australian reaction to the act of defiance. A must listen for all history buffs and members of the Greek diaspora.

We revisit what has in many ways become an iconic Ouzo Talk chat with comedian, actor and writer, Angelo Tsarouchas! Ever wondered what it’d be like to have a stand-up comedian give you a private performance at home? This episode is your answer! Angelo joined Tom and Nick in Sydney during season one of Ouzo Talk as part of his Australian tour – and he had the boys in stitches from the get-go. Covering everything from growing up Greek in Canada and his time as a travel agent, to becoming a comedian and actor and ultimately touring the world with performers like Russell Peters, Angelo and the boys were in fine form. With the help of some ouzo, the trio also take on political correctness in comedy, plus the Will Smith/Chris Rock incident at The Oscars.
