Australia first got into the Eurovision Song Contest as a one-off wildcard entry, but we had to prove ourselves to be able to stay. We look at the importance of Guy Sebastian’s impressive debut in 2015, and Dami Im's almost-win in 2016 with 'Sound of Silence'. In this episode, hear from Dami Im herself, Eurovision academic Associate Professor Jess Carniel, and Blink TV's Paul Clarke.
