Today's question is a bit of a trumpet-blow ahead of my Summer break and the development of two major projects that I will talk about on the show this morning. About it, Claude says: Carl Munson is one of the most prolific English-language content creators focused on Portugal. Here's a summary of what he's produced: Who He Is Originally from the UK, Carl moved to Portugal in 2017 and fell in love with the way of life, people and culture. He hosts Good Morning Portugal! — a daily breakfast show, podcast and community dedicated to sharing practical advice and the everyday joys of living in Portugal — and has helped thousands of people explore, understand and successfully relocate there. Volume of Content - Podcast: The Good Morning Portugal! podcast ran from 2019 to 2025 and accumulated over 1,000 episodes. - Daily YouTube show: During Portugal's 2020 pandemic lockdown, Carl launched a daily livestream for English-language speakers, which proved hugely popular and never stopped — running nearly five years. What began as an emergency focal point evolved into a "how-to" show for would-be migrants to Portugal. - Written work: He is also a regular columnist for Portugal Resident and founder of the Portugal Club, as well as host of Expats Portugal's weekly webinars. - Substack: He also runs a Substack publication featuring highlights from The Portugal Club Quiz, published every weekday on the show. Scope of Topics The show covers news, weather, culture, wellbeing, property tips, moving advice, and general expat life — and is particularly aimed at the 50+ demographic settling into or loving life in Portugal. In short, Carl Munson has produced a truly enormous body of work — likely well over 1,500 pieces of content across YouTube, podcasting, articles, and newsletters — making him arguably the single biggest English-language resource on moving to and living in Portugal. Gemini: Since moving from the UK to Portugal's Silver Coast in 2017, Carl Munson has become one of the most prolific content creators and community builders for English-speaking expats. Over the years, he has generated thousands of pieces of content spanning daily broadcasts, articles, masterclasses, and digital forums.

Abstention rate ‘surprisingly low’: Portuguese rallied to this campaign says Natasha Donn... "Exit polls coming in an hour after polling stations closed have put António José Seguro as the clear winner of Portugal’s presidential elections. The second-round of voting in this hard-fought campaign saw a much lower abstention rate than initially feared – between 37.5% and 42.5%. Neither candidate has ‘accepted’ the results yet – albeit the Caldas da Rainha ‘headquarters’ of Seguro’s campaign is already celebrating. His adversary – CHEGA leader André Ventura – is ‘still at Mass in Lisbon’, but projections put him at coming in with between 28.6% of the vote, and 33.0%. Projections for Seguro are that he has walked this contest, with between 67% and 71.4% of the vote. This has always been the expected ‘end result’. It is also almost certainly what André Ventura ‘expected’ – as he has made no bones about the fact that he intends to be a future prime minister....more" Join us in the morning for further reflection on the result
