Ricardo Araújo Pereira is one of the sharpest and most distinctive voices in Portugal. He’s also very funny. His Sunday prime time show attracts millions of viewers each night and he is a constant presence in the Portuguese landscape: in advertisement, writing for newspapers and magazines and even hosting a podcast with his friends. But Ricardo, who is also known a Portuguese Jon Stewart, confesses to Tony Gonçalves that what he loves the most is actually writing.

Ricardo also delves into what it means to be funny and his opinion on the prison sentence for Brazilian comedian Léo Lins.

As usual, our guest shares his favourite Portuguese dishes and one specific trait of the country that others might find unnerving. But he thinks it’s a great asset.
