Kalliope's Korner
At "Kalliope's Korner," I take the ordinary and sprinkle it with a generous helping of sarcasm and wit. From dissecting the absurdities of everyday life to diving deep into the world of quirky news stories, me and my guests (who are just as delightfully offbeat) explore topics that range from the hilariously trivial to the hilariously bizarre. It's like having a sarcastic best friend in your ear, guiding you through a world that's often too serious to be taken seriously.
