    Episode 133: Eurovision Asia - Malaysia & Rhythm of Bhutan

    Despite a false start in 2025, Eurovision Song Contest Asia looks like it's really happening in 2026! The proof? A full-on national final from Bhutan called Rhythm of Bhutan that has everything we love about national finals from small nations, plus a powerhouse internal selection from Malaysia. We talk about all five competitors in the final and what songs are likely to do well in November's contest. Jeremy is always happy to see college kids getting weird, Dimitry gets some rock with a distinctive Bhutanese twist, and Oscar would hire one dancer to do anything.  Watch Aina Abdul's performance at Malaysia's Anugerah Juara Lagu 40: https://youtu.be/RoOL60wUkps Watch Rhythm of Bhutan courtesy of BBS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V5cSj30SBI This week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5iU2uyFaPjwdanCddG3Wkl Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

    Episode 132: Songs from Eurovision's Class of 2026

    We thought we were going to sit down for a nice simple episode of the podcast, and then the EBU announced everything. Burgas! New age limit! No more pre-recorded backing tracks! Less well-defined rules about "conflicts"! But our fantastic guest, Irene White (Superstore, St. Denis Medical), was game to talk about it all, along with a bunch of songs released by artists from this year's Eurovision class. Jeremy's glad to see Sam up to his old tricks again, Dimitry wants you to check out the Jiva back catalog, Irene explains the 90s appeal of Satoshi, and Oscar sees the other side of a melancholy Dane.

    The votes are in, the jury's got its favorite and the same for the public: it's time to see who reigns supreme as we sort through the winners of the Eurovision Song Contest through the eighties and nineties.

    Episode 128: Eurovision 1991 Recap

    We'll be covering the famously terrible 2008 Eurovision Song Contest in a livestream later this year, but we thought we ought to cover the second place winner (and Oscar's favorite!), 1991's ESC at Cinecittà in Rome. And since we couldn't keep this many mediocre ballads to ourselves, joining us for this highly dysfunctional edition of Eurovision is the hilarious writer & comedian Corin Wells. (Dropout, The Amber Ruffin Show). Jeremy can't believe they let this sax solo slide, Dimitry needs more people to cover Amina, Corin's playing her first Eurovision on Expert difficulty, and Oscar traces the origins of all of 91's choreo to an unlikely source.

    Episode 126: Bulgaria's Eurovision History - Bust, Boom, & Bangaranga

    We're still riding the high of Dara's win from this year's contest, but how close had Bulgaria come to the glass microphone before? Pretty close... and very far, depending on the year. We're looking at all of Bulgaria's Eurovision entries since joining in 2005, and there seems to be a pattern of high highs and low lows for the country. Jeremy sees through the Illusion, Dimitry's all in on a Poli lifestyle, and Oscar needs there to be a little less screaming.  Get a local's guide to Sofia for 2027 courtesy of our friend Manuela: https://www.excedotravel.com/eurovision-2027-sofia-survival-guide/ Watch the performances from this week's episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6rnAKD1QuU&list=PLd2EbKTi9fyX4JEYjGWtFarPpIWz4Ja9k&pp=sAgC This week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0pfP1bB5ujZIEPu2yCiUzj Help support this show and unlock bonus content!
