Olá boa noite from a chilly Spring evening in São Martinho. Tudo bem? I have been working on a couple of other podcasts in recent times that I'd like to tell you about and that I hope will be useful to you. The first is the Resident podcast with TWO episodes weekly: One a weekly interview, where I interviewed @Bobby OReilly recently on his 'Solidarity Visa' (affordable housing) idea, as well as many other great guests for example on animal welfare, Afpop, Albufeira life; the other a weekly news review with journalist Natasha Donn - where we look at news stories in a way that's different to the GMP! vibe. It's plain-speaking, no-nonsense opinion with Natasha, which is recorded live on Friday mornings, please join us! Please subscribe to the Resident podcast here The other new podcast is 'Life Support' with my old friend Dr John Briffa, where we look at "real-world, actionable advice on navigating the challenges that come with balancing work, life and everything in between". You may not know that I have had a lifelong interest in wellbeing and human happiness, about which I have wriiten many articles and a book. I used to publish a positive living magazine, ran a natural health centre and penned a weekly newspaper column on all manner of alternative and complementary therapies back in the UK. In my weekly podcast with Dr John, we look at anything that might benefit our wellbeing and welcome suggestions from you about ideas that you'd like us to take a look at. Let me know in the comments 👇 Please subscribe to the Life Support podcast here And by the way, if YOU are thinking of starting a podcast or YouTube channel, I'd be delighted to help.

For those interested in DNA and ancient history, here are a couple of YouTube videos that I found fascinating. "Why Portuguese DNA is the strangest paradox in European History" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBR2a1XfpEk ) and "Why are the Portuguese genetically different from Spaniards" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p36Jdv194Hw). Both are just over 13 minutes. In short, Spain and Portugal were warmer refuges for Europeans during the Ice Age that ended about 9,000 years ago, then while Spain was exposed to Mediterranean cultures, Portugal wasn't. But that's only the big picture, there are parts of Portugal that also came under different influences.

Hello. I am a recent immigrant having arrived in November. I am a musician who would love to start a band in the Braga Porto area, doing original music. I've done rock punk experimental, and modern classical music. I am also publishing a novel in surreal form on Substack as well as poetry and music there as well. And I have a healing practice in a modality called Orthobionomy that I do in person and remotely. I don't think I want to stay here in Northern Portugal. I'm looking for a different area to live in where I can hopefully find a modest property to purchase. Hope to get to know and meet some of you in the real as well as virtual world! - Samuel
