In this episode, Tara and Kate delve into Portugal's rich history and its contemporary challenges.
They share insights from an impromptu conversation with Anglo-Portuguese friend Paul Azevedo over lunch at a favourite local restaurant in the heart of Olhão.
Topics covered include the historical significance of the Algarve during the Roman and Salazar years, the impact of Portugal's colonisation in Southern Africa, and the current socio-economic crises in São Tomé and Príncipe. Paul also shares details about his NGO work and an upcoming documentary highlighting the humanitarian and environmental issues in São Tomé.
