Ouzo Talk

Ouzo Talk goes live from the Greek Festival of Sydney in Brighton. Over two decades have passed since Brighton Le Sands played host to this iconic event, and with it being right in the boys' backyard it made sense that Ouzo Talk was on hand to talk to people on the ground! Join the boys as they talk to event organisers, Ouzo Talk fans, family and more in what is surely one of the closest things to a Greek 'Panigiri' that you can get.

Let's rewind the clock! Join Nick and Tom as they walk you through what it takes to have a very Greek Easter. No single annual event on any Greek family’s calendar comes close to the size and spectacle of this annual religious event. From the special traditions like fasting, baking tsourekia, painting red eggs, and going to church, to the more bizarre traditions of throwing large pottery over the balcony and firing homemade rockets at a neighbouring village’s church – there’s so much to cover when it comes to a Greek Easter.
