New book club ‘cat’ residency, “Can’t live like this!” & Portugal’s gold plus weather & currency

On Monday 12th October 2026, Carl Munson’s Good Morning Portugal! news leads with thousands protesting across Portugal over housing and living costs under the platform “You Can’t Live Like This Anymore.”
Other headlines include Portugal’s gold reserves reaching a record value, Portuguese dancers with disabilities set to perform in Paris, former Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho discussing a possible political return, farmers protesting near the Assembly of the Republic, a Eurofighter proposal for Portugal’s air defence, and Rod Stewart returning on another “final” tour.
Unusually warm weather is expected next week, with some regions above 30°C.
The show also launches Louise Ross as the first author-in-residence of the new Book Ravers Book Club.
