Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Corfu – Saint Spyridon, sieges and Sofrito
Q: Why is he such a big deal?
Arkoudis explains that Saint Spyridon was a bishop at the Council of Nicaea, where tradition credits him with using a tile to illustrate the Trinity during the debate over the nature of Christ. His relics later came to Corfu, where he became the island's patron saint.
Corfu – Saint Spyridon, sieges and Sofrito
Q: Would you say that was beneficial for the locals? If so, or if not, what do you think?
Arkoudis says Corfu's Venetian rulers preserved a local system in which Byzantine-descended Greek nobles retained influence, while Greeks helped fund and build defenses and served in militias. He adds that the French were less popular because of taxation and the abolition of the old governing system.
George Moulos: Entrepreneur, comedian, record breaker, history hunter and storyteller
Q: You've got a remarkable genealogical lineage; what exactly did you discover?
George shares discoveries tracing Notaras and Palaiologos connections, Venetian records in Venice and Rome, and how these historical strands illuminate his identity and storytelling material.
George Moulos: Entrepreneur, comedian, record breaker, history hunter and storyteller
Q: Tell us about that Guinness World Record you mentioned.
George explains how the challenge unfolded over 26 days and 10 hours, the logistics with his team and fundraisers for Greek orphanages, and how the journey became more about the stories and cultural exchange than chasing the record itself.
Angelo Tsarouchas & Arianna Papalexopoulos – Poutanes and Camels
Q: What can people expect from this show and this tour?
Diaspora-focused storytelling with new material drawn from daily life, plus Arianna's contributions and a post-show audience interaction segment.
