This podcast episode includes a discussion around writing for music vs writing for acapella performance. I also talk about the inspiration behind my project Agapi &amp; Other Kinds of Love, and how I wrote the scene for Eros. I also go through the process of shooting an acapella Eros video in Athens and then flying to Rhodes to film the music video in a place called Mussolini’s Mansion. I end with why it holds significance to me to film a track about love in half-destroyed residence of a former fascist dictator.

Luka is a poet, rapper, educator and Ancient History buff who can’t keep his hands off the classics. Luka is often bouncing ideas off Athenian columns and global politics as he finds his way, giving commentary on life and writing as a modern philosopher, performer and full-time poet. Luka Lesson draws on his creative powers to either create new poetry inspired by conversations with guests from across the planet, or do a deep dive into his own catalogue of poetry and rap verses, using them as a sounding board for new conversions.
