Home is the Journey talks to renowned Portuguese/Portuguese Canadian Actors Paulino Nunes (Father Dell’Aqua in the critically acclaimed and award winning series Shōgun and credits including The Boys, Law and Order, Brooklyn, Suits) and Jess Salgueiro (Eve on the Fraser reboot and credits including The Boys, Tiny Pretty Things, Working Moms, Letterkenny, Orphan Black). Paulino and Jess discuss their journeys as actors and growing up in Portuguese immigrant communities in Canada. In the episode, they critically reflect on representation of the Portuguese in North American film and television and talk about how their experiences in Portugal and Portuguese North America have shaped some of the roles they have played.

In their opening segment, Gil and Miguel argue about the qualities and mainstreaming of the pastel de nata.
