O Pico do Pico – and a new podcast

I came across this odd bit of history on Insta and I think since they are both wearing hats we can allow them into the blog this week. It’s not just a one-off either. Bruá Podcasts has a stable of mini audio series. I subscribed to what seems to be the main one, Sapiens and it seems to have followed the lead of The Rest is History, with a series of little subseries, one of which is called Portugal Negro: A História Silenciada, which seemed worth a listen especially since Hat Week this year happens to coincide with Black History Month. I started listening to the first episode, about a man called José de Magalhães who got involved in the pan-african movement started by WEB Du Bois, and I’ll probably report back on it in a few days when I have done the whole lot.
