227. Portugal: On the Edge of the World

[@pbohearn]

I’m an American living in Lisbon. I’ve always loved history mostly British and United States and a bit of Mexico. Since moving to Portugal, I’ve gotten very interested in Portuguese history, and this is a great show for filling in some details of the story. I’m finally putting it together, a tale of a small yet impactful country that set off to start the age of discovery.

I really like this podcast.

Absolutely loving these podcasts, so pleased they are on KZbin as only a few are on BBC sounds. Still havent worked out what ultimately defined Portugal‘s modern day borders.

Great talk, and congratulations on your efforts to pronounce portuguese names, great work.

Flat bottomed ships, you make the Portuguese go round.

According to the german philosopher Peter Sloterdeijk, the history of humankind can be devided in two periods: before Vasco da Gama and after Vasco da Gama. (I think he wrote that in "The Cristal Palace".)

Poor Galicia. Exactly in the same west location, never getting any love.

Fernando Pessoa wrote something funny and true about comparing the british sea voyages of exploration with what the portuguese did: the british should just shut up, and that they just arrived at certain places because they were shown the way (I will try to find the exact words).

As an American, I was saddened to learn I could get the wine
