Coming soon this September, on behalf of RadioNEO, stay tuned for "Kalimera L.A. with Joanna Xipa & Friends”, a new and exciting Greek-American online radio Call-In show, with your chance to have your voices, ideas and events heard (both locally & around the world)!
With a dash of the hottest Greek hits, a pinch of my lighthearted humor paired with my entertaining co-hosts, Gus Sverkos and Elias Ladas, and of course a daily dose of Greek-American guest speakers as well, you're also welcome to call in and add a breath of fresh air to the mix!
In sharing with you a little bit about my co-hosts, you will surely appreciate the long-time commitment DJ/Promoter/Restaurateur Gus Sverkos of Goodtime Productions has made to the local Greek communities in Southern California. He was featured in the June issue of NEO magazine in my “West Coast Beat” column and you may look it up online via the archives if you haven’t read about him already.
Elias Ladas, is another Greek-American who you may have already heard about recently placing third with his Celebrity Partner, Eugenia Manolidou, in Greece’s “Dancing With The Stars” this year, broadcast here via Antenna Satellite on Sunday evenings. American born and raised in Athens, with a passion for dance that started out as a hobby 20 years ago, it has since blossomed into a full blown career here in Southern California, where he is ranked amongst the top 20 out of 2,500 professional dance instructors in America!
I’m so excited to bring together this love of music and dance for you, with the passion of my hometown Greek spirit that I will forever carry with me from the world famous Danforth Aveue of Toronto! If the three of us can come together from different corners of the world and bring smiles and good cheers your way every day, then no mountains are too big for crossing over to unite us now!
Our L.A. morning show will air 9am PST, 11am Central, 12pm EST. It will give you all a chance to shout out to your loved ones with birthday wishes, wedding announcements, or even last minute reminders or sharing of your events going on the very same evening!
So, don’t be shy... Feel free to speak in Greek, or English... or even Grenglish! Won’t that be interesting, eh? So, fire up the ‘mbriki’ if you will, make mine a ‘metrio’, sit down with us and enjoy ‘enan elliniko kafe’!
