Good day, and welcome to our regularly scheduled podcst about Greece.
This one was like the Italy one really, were to begin, where to stop. Well we began of course with the ancients, and Isabelle began by talking about Greek tragedy. Well those Greeks were certainly tragic, I mean really tragic. People say TV is sensationalist, check out some old plays if you want real sensationalism, then Jon woke up....
Isabelle talked some about Herodotus, a Greek historian, generally regarded as the father of modern history, well the study of it anyway, the Jon woke up. Then we talked about the importance of Greek philosophy, then Jon woke up....
Eventually Dave talked a bit about the conflict between Greece and Turkey over Cyprus, and a bit about Greek food. Then Maddie called on the phone...
In the end we had to pull the plug, though we did enjoy this one a lot.
I hope the volume levels are a bit better this time. Thanks to Rachel and AmHam for twittering us throughout the recording.
Greece is ranked 46th by the International Ice Hockey Federation. Then Jon woke up...
Next time it is off to Algeria! Then Jon woke up.
