My other Portugal & wellbeing podcasts that may be of interest & benefit?
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.
