    He Left New York to Open an Irish Bar in Lisbon

    Meet Fergal Titley, a Dubliner, actor and bar owner who spent 13 years living in New York before leaving it all behind to start again in Lisbon. In this extended People Of Lisbon conversation, Fergal talks about growing up in Glasnevin, training as an actor, life in New York, his playwright father, Samuel Beckett, Irishness, moving to Lisbon and turning a long-held idea into reality with the opening of The Wake — his Irish bar at the top of a Lisbon hill. We also talk about what makes a truly great Irish bar, the meaning behind The Wake, creating a sense of comfort and community, and, naturally, the art of pouring a proper pint of Guinness. This is the longer, rough-cut conversation behind our People Of Lisbon film — more stories, more tangents and more time with Fergal. People Of Lisbon is supported by Practice Portuguese, Fresh Portugal and Moviinn.

    The Astrologer of Lisbon // Martina Anguelova

    What can astrology really tell us about who we are? In this extended conversation, Stephen O'Regan sits down with Lisbon-based astrologer Martina Anguelova to explore the world of astrology, birth charts, love, relationships, healing, and self-discovery. Born in Bulgaria, shaped by years in London, and now calling Lisbon home, Martina shares how a nervous breakdown in her early thirties changed the course of her life and ultimately led her to become a professional astrologer. Together they discuss what astrology actually is, whether our birth charts can reveal aspects of our personality, why so many people seek meaning in the stars, and how being truly "seen" can be one of the most powerful experiences we have. They also chat about Lisbon, crystals, reincarnation, oracle cards, dating, favourite places in the city, and even what Martina sees in Stephen's own birth chart. This is the full, unedited conversation from the People Of Lisbon documentary, featuring all the moments that didn't make the final film. People Of Lisbon is a documentary and podcast celebrating the fascinating people who call Lisbon home.
