Episode 57: Armenia & Iceland 2025

At last, a break from the incessant national finals of early February: just Armenia's Depi Evratesil and Iceland's Songvakeppnin this week, along with Azerbaijan's internal selection and revisiting Lucio Corsi from Italy, now that Olly's turned down the offer to go to the grand final. There are plenty of songs left to come, but we also wonder: what's the theme of this year's contest? Jeremy coaches male singers on finding the woman inside, Dimitry demands justice for Birgo, and Oscar has thoughts on the greatest Eurovision lewks of all time.
