Hey Everyone!

Today we (our guest co-host Dustin, and myself included) will get a brief introduction to the alphabet soup of acronyms that is the Greek Guerilla Resistance movement, or also known as, the Andartiko. This is meant just as a introduction of sorts, as all of these groups will come up in our story going forward. Some much more than others.

Enjoy!

Hello Everyone! Long Live the No! Happy Ohi Day!

For today's episode we have once again Dr. Dale Pappas, and we had a frank conversation about how the events leading up to and including the big NO are remembered by the Hellenic Nation. We also talked a lot about the legacy of the Ohi (NO), and what legacy Metaxas left behind as his controversial status of the man who helped deliver one of the greatest military victories in Hellenic History, and as a Dictator. Enjoy everyone!

Good Morning Comrades!

Today, (with our special guest Dustin, from NoneTaken podcast!) we will be getting properly acquainted with a group of people we have heard so much about, but not formerly met: The Communists. This faction within the Greek political scene will end up playing a major role , so I knew it was important to give you (the listeners) a thorough rundown. On this episode well cover just who these dirty Commies are, what they believe, what they want, their struggles and near extinction as a political force, and their survival throughout the authoritarianism of the 4th of August regime.

Hey everyone,

For today’s episode,Ii had on the Pod, someone who has been on here almost half a dozen times now, Dr. Dale Pappas. If you’ve been following the Greek Civil War segment that we’ve had running, you’ve seen for yourself what a moving force Venizelos and Venizelism was, but I don't think I've ever given, the listeners, a proper introduction and a bit of a summary of, just what the heck is a Venizelist? What is Venizelism? Aside from tackling what a Venizelist is and the legacy of Venizelos, We also grappled with questions like what’s a Republican? A liberal? We also covered the role the military played in politics during this era, and touched on patronage networks in the Greek military. Enjoy!

Hello Fellow Revolutionaries!

Today we'll be continuing through the drama that was the "Trial of the 6", which will then culminate with the "Execution of the 6", and will then be followed by the Second Hellenic Republic. We'll also get a formal introduction to King George II, a closer deeper dive on relations between the King and Metaxas during the 4th of August regime, which will then land us back at the Axis occupation of Greece and the King's relocation from Egypt to London.

Hey everyone!

Today we get into the state of affairs immediately following Alexanders death, what that meant for the Asia Minor Campaign, the political tit for tat between Venizelists and anti-Venizelists and the consequences of the election of 1920.
