In this inspiring episode of The Greek Podyssey, we explore how Greek identity, philotimo, and philanthropy are deeply intertwined — shaping a culture of compassion and giving that continues to unite Greeks around the world.
Our guest, Nick Pappas, President of The Hellenic Initiative (T.H.I.), shares how this global organization mobilizes the Greek diaspora to support economic renewal, education, and social welfare in Greece.
From the power of philotimo to stories of personal kindness — including an emotional reflection from co-host Christine — this episode is a heartfelt reminder that Greece’s greatest resource is its people, wherever they may be. 🌍💙
💬 “Greece has given so much to the world; it’s time to pay back.” — Bill Clinton, on the founding of T.H.I.
🎧 Tune in for an episode that celebrates generosity, heritage, and the unbreakable bond that connects Greeks worldwide.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
