Το MY GREEK ISLAND PODCAST είναι μια προσωπική αφήγηση για την ελληνική ζωή πέρα από τις τουριστικές εικόνες. Οι οικοδεσπότες, ο Γιώργος και η Μαρία, μοιράζονται τις ιστορίες και τις γνώσεις που έχουν συλλέξει με τα χρόνια, μεταφέροντας τον ακροατή σε έναν ήχο και μια ατμόσφαιρα που θυμίζει περισσότερο συζήτηση με ντόπιους φίλους παρά έναν οδηγό. Σε κάθε επεισόδιο, η συζήτηση περιστρέφεται γύρω από τα μοναδικά χαρακτηριστικά των 227 κατοικημένων νησιών, από τα κρυμμένα μονοπάτια της Κρήτης μέχρι τις παραδοσιακές ταβέρνες των Κυκλάδων. Ακούγοντας αυτό το podcast, θα γνωρίσετε ανθρώπους που διαμορφώνουν την καθημερινότητα στα νησιά-ψαράδες, καλλιτέχνες, ιδιοκτήτες μικρών επιχειρήσεων-και θα ακούσετε ιστορίες που σπάνια βρίσκονται σε ταξιδιωτικά άρθρα. Παράλληλα, οι οικοδεσπότες εντάσσουν φυσικά στο λόγο τους ελληνικές λέξεις και φράσεις, προσφέροντας μια απλή και πρακτική γνωριμία με τη γλώσσα. Η συζήτηση αγγίζει θέματα κοινωνίας, πολιτισμού και τόπων, πάντα με στόχο να εμπλουτίσει την εμπειρία του επισκέπτη και να του δώσει πραγματικές πληροφορίες για το πώς να ζήσει την Ελλάδα πιο βαθιά. Είναι για όσους σκέφτονται το επόμενο ταξίδι τους, αλλά και για όσους απλά ονειρεύονται μέσα από τους ήχους και τις αφηγήσεις.
