Brian & Derrick chat to Dylan about why they started the show, what it means to be Portuguese and how the show doesn’t make fun of Portuguese culture, but is rather a homage to something that is part of them and something they love.  FOLLOW OUR GUESTS: The Portuguese Kids website ABOUT PORTUGAL THE SIMPLE LIFE PODCAST: "Portugal - The simple life”, an insider's perspective to Portugal.
