    The queue is growing - Who's joining Eurovision 2027 | Ep.38

    Episode 38 is HERE — and everybody wants to go to Bulgaria. 🎙️🇧🇬 Vienna may be over, but the Eurovision 2027 story is already moving at full speed. This week we have a packed post-contest news roundup — and the theme is clear: more countries want in, and everyone has opinions. Kosovo has issued its strongest case yet for EBU membership, with RTK's Acting Director General writing directly to the EBU ahead of the Prague General Assembly on June 25 and 26 — where new membership categories could finally open the door. Slovakia was spotted in the Vienna press centre and their Director-General has confirmed publicly: they will return to Eurovision, sooner or later. The Netherlands situation is getting complicated — AVROTROS is still waiting for the EBU evaluation, but Omroep Max has now stepped forward and said: if AVROTROS won't go, we will. DARA has publicly invited Turkey to return to Eurovision — in neighbouring Bulgaria, where the cultural ties run deep and the timing could not be more perfect. Boy George has announced he wants to write the UK's entry for 2027 — and we have a lot of thoughts about that. And Bangaranga? Still conquering the world — number one in Germany for the first time since Euphoria in 2012, top five on Spotify Global, and over 20 million streams in its first week after the Grand Final. New countries, old friends, and one very iconic British pop legend — this one has it all. 🎶🇧🇬 Listen and watch now on all major platforms and join the conversation on social media.

    Eurovision 2026 the aftermath - Controversies, comebacks and 2027 | Ep.37

    Episode 37 is HERE — and the Eurovision 2026 story is far from over. 🎙️📺🇧🇬 Vienna may be done, but the drama? Absolutely not. This week we dive into everything that has happened since Saturday night — and there is a lot. First — the controversy that has been dominating the post-contest conversation. Videos emerged online of Russian singer Philipp Kirkorov claiming his team was involved in preparing DARA's winning stage production. Everyone directly involved has denied it. But the story is not going away — and we have thoughts. Then — Moldova. The Director General of TRM resigned following a massive public backlash over the Moldovan jury's decision to award only three points to Romania and zero points to Ukraine — while the Moldovan public gave Romania the maximum 12. One of the most striking jury vs televote splits we have ever seen, and it cost someone their job. We also look ahead to Eurovision 2027 in Bulgaria — the host city race is already underway, with Sofia, Varna, Plovdiv and Burgas all in the running. Which city should get it? And the participation news is already flowing. North Macedonia and Luxembourg are confirmed for 2027. Hungary's new Prime Minister has signalled a possible return after six years away. And Belgium's VRT has warned it may not compete unless the EBU holds a direct vote on Israel's participation. Controversies, comebacks, and the first steps toward Bulgaria 2027 — this one has it all. 🎶🇧🇬 Listen and watch now on all major platforms and join the conversation on social media.

    ESC 2026 semi finals - Behind the results | Ep.36

    Episode 36 is HERE — and this week we go beyond the results. 🎙️📺🇦🇹 The semi-finals of Eurovision 2026 are done and dusted — but the numbers tell a story that goes way beyond who qualified and who didn't. This week we dive deep into the jury vs televote splits from both semi-finals, and what they reveal about how Europe — and the world — actually voted. Which countries were saved by the juries? Which ones rode the televote all the way through? Where did the two sets of scores completely disagree — and what does that tell us about what's coming in the Grand Final? We also look at the most unexpected results of both semi-finals — the entries that massively overperformed, the ones that should have been safe and weren't, and the fun facts that got lost in all the excitement of the live shows. Numbers, surprises, and plenty of analysis — this one has it all. 🎶🇦🇹 Listen and watch now on all major platforms and join the conversation on social media.

With 516 points, the biggest winning margin in Eurovision history — beating Alexander Rybak's legendary 169-point lead from Moscow 2009 — DARA has secured Bulgaria's first-ever Eurovision victory at the 70th edition of the contest. A country that returned after three years away, winning it all on their comeback. If that's not a Eurovision story, we don't know what is. We break down everything that happened on Saturday night in Vienna. The winner that dominated both the jury vote and the televote — the first time that's happened since Kyiv 2017. The final top 5: Bulgaria, Israel, Romania, Australia and Italy. The performances that delivered. The ones that didn't. The moments that will stay with us. And of course — Finland. The overwhelming favourite going in. So what happened? We also share what we loved, what we didn't, and our honest verdict on the 70th Eurovision Song Contest as a whole. Reactions, emotions, and a whole lot of Bangaranga — this one has it all. 🎶🇦🇹 Listen and watch now on all major platforms and join the conversation on social media.

    In, out, on the edge - Our ESC 2026 semi-final predictions | Ep.32

    Episode 32 is HERE — and this week, we are putting our reputations on the line. 🎙️🇦🇹 Vienna is almost here. The semi-finals are days away. And it is time to make our predictions. We went through every single act in both semi-finals — one by one — and gave our honest verdict. Who is safe? Who is on the edge? And who, despite everything, is going home before Saturday? Semi-Final 1 was hard enough. But Semi-Final 2? That is a different beast entirely. With so many acts capable of qualifying and so little separating them, we went back and forth more times than we'd like to admit. Did anybody count how many asterisks are in this semi-final? Ten spots per semi-final. Twenty qualifiers total. And two people with very strong opinions about who gets them. Predictions, arguments, and plenty of doubt — this one has it all. 🎶 Listen now on all major platforms and join the conversation on social media.

    The odds don't lie - What history tells us about Vienna | Ep.31

    Episode 31 is HERE — and this week, we're letting the data do the talking. 📊🎙️ One month out from Vienna, we went back through 18 years of Eurovision history — from 2007 to 2025 — and asked the question every fan is thinking: do the betting odds actually mean anything? The answer? Yes. But not in the way you might expect. We break down the headline numbers — how often the favourite wins, how reliable the top five really is, and how many gate-crashers to expect on the night. We go year by year through the bookmakers' greatest hits and their most embarrassing failures — from Alexander Rybak's near-certain victory in 2009 to Conchita Wurst winning from sixteenth in the odds in 2014. And we run the numbers on Vienna 2026 — what history says should happen, what the pre-parties told us, and whether Finland's odds are as solid as they look. Numbers, history, and plenty of opinions — this one has it all. 🎶🇦🇹 Listen now on all major platforms and join the conversation on social media.
