This week we celebrate Episode 100! It all started two years ago, in Episode 1, in a conversation that we didn’t even film, at the beginning of a pandemic when I asked the CEO of  Leisure Launch Group, Davide Patricio, the question: Portugal The Simple Life… Why?
Over the next two years, with more than 100,000 audio downloads, over 5,000 minutes of interview time, and guests from more than 20 different nationalities... until now, Episode 100, we continued asking the question.
