António Ferro, a figure inextricably linked to Salazar as the chief propagandist of the Estado Novo for nearly two decades, is the subject of a new six-part narrative podcast from Diário de Notícias. Through the perspectives of historians, political scientists, and his granddaughter, novelist Rita Ferro, the series explores his complex legacy—from his modernist roots and involvement with the Orpheu magazine to his role in shaping Portuguese cultural identity, including the popularization of the Barcelos rooster. The podcast, narrated by Nuno Braga, examines the life of a man who was a journalist, diplomat, and cultural architect, leaving an indelible mark on 20th-century Portugal.
