• Portugal Remembered: Memory, Monuments, and Identity with Dr Andrew João Carvalho Nunes

  Reframing Portugal’s past through culture, memory, and the Lusophone imaginationIn this thought-provoking episode, host Justin West is joined by Dr Andrew João Carvalho Nunes, an interdisciplinary scholar exploring how Portugal remembers — and sometimes forgets — its complex past.From monuments and graffiti to Fado under Salazar, Justin and Andrew unpack how art, politics, and heritage continue to shape Portuguese identity across Portugal, Brazil, and the wider Lusophone world. Together, they examine what it means to “decolonise” culture, reinterpret national myths, and build a more honest relationship with history.An essential conversation for anyone interested in Portuguese culture, postcolonial memory, and the evolving sense of Lusophone identity.For further reading and links Andrews work please follow this link.Portuguese Representations of 1950s American Rock ’n’ Roll (Sub)Culture: Luso-Retro, to be published by Cambridge Scholars in late 2025Correction: Andrew is aware that he mistakenly said Afonso II was married to Philippa of Lancaster and that one of their children was Vasco da Gama. He meant that João I was married to Philippa and that one of their children was Henry the Navigator (Infante D. Henrique). Andrew has recognised this error himself and contacted the podcast to ensure the correction is noted.

• Laura Taborda: Running Beyond Limits

  This week on Podcast Portugal, we sit down with Laura Taborda — Portuguese national steeplechase champion and professional Adidas athlete — to explore the rhythm of an athlete’s life both on and off the track. Laura opens up about training schedules, recovering from injury, and the balance between fragility and strength that defines an elite runner’s mindset. We discuss the power of consistency, discipline, and motivation, and how brands like Adidas play a vital role in helping athletes chase their dreams. From running culture and the rise of running club dating, to finding community and social connection through sport, Laura shares a refreshingly honest perspective on staying active and grounded. With the European Cross Country Championships coming to Lagoa, Algarve in December 2025 and the Olympic qualification requiring a new Portuguese national record, the road ahead is as inspiring as it is demanding.

Sat Village sits beside a natural forest reserve, just five minutes from the beach, ten minutes from Ericeira, and only 35 minutes from Lisbon Airport. It’s the perfect balance: close to nature, close to surf, and close to all the amenities you need — including a yoga centre next door offering daily practice and meals.
