Customer Reviews
One of the most varied esc podcasts I’ve ever watched
Came across your guys podcast via a suggestion on Facebook and I don’t regret tapping on it!
Refreshing to see a podcast that overviews every era of Eurovision as well as the current affairs of that year, both of my favourite subjects, world affairs and the affairs of Eurovision.
Just a little side note, just watched the 89 and 90 episodes and as a huge riva fan, (I was the one who added the part about the hiatus and the planned album as the Balkan public know but not many outside know so I thought It’d be great for people to know in general)
Riva we’re actually at the festival. but weren’t allowed to go on stage, instead being forced to go hang in the green room due to the then JRT president goran radman having some sort of unknown hatred towards them. Even emilja doesn’t know what went wrong but they got blacklisted after that.
Anyways keep the effort up guys, can’t wait for the 87 episode 💕
Enjoyable + Educational
I’ve known Danie + Mark for a while now + it’s fabulous to listen to them share everything Eurovision. Their passion really shines through but I also enjoy listening to the tracks featured.
Knowledgeable, fun and fab!
Danie and Mark’s Eurovision passion and knowledge are second to none. Love the songs and Eurovision trivia they deliver with excellence and great humour!
