Episode 4: Learning local

Episode 4: Learning local

In Episode 4 of Prospect Pod, we explore how learning happens in everyday places, through food, movement and shared experience- with three local businesses deeply woven into the fabric of Prospect.

We sit down with Con Mendis from Meze Mazi to discover how authentic Greek cuisine becomes a way of teaching culture, tradition and connection through food.

We’re also joined by Anthony Pugliese from Pastagogo, who reflects on how fresh, comforting pasta has become part of local life, quietly teaching lessons about flavour, quality and the joy of sharing simple meals.

Rounding out the episode is Zeenia Smith from Extend Studio Pilates on Churchill Road, who shares how personalised movement, rehabilitation and community-focused care help people grow stronger, healthier and more confident.

Together, these conversations celebrate learning beyond the classroom, the power of local connection, and the everyday moments that help Prospect continue to grow.
