Eurovangelists

What has more pomp, spectacle, and sequins than the Olympics, Wrestlemania, and RuPaul's Drag Race combined? The Eurovision Song Contest, Europe’s yearly competition to determine which country has the best original song. It's an extraordinary live musical showdown in which Europe’s most dynamic singers put it all on the line in the name of national pride. And Eurovangelists, a hilarious podcast about all things Eurovision, is here to help you get in on the fun! Each week, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know about the contest that gave us ABBA, Celine Dion, and a turkey puppet singing on behalf of Ireland. Join superfans Dimitry Pompée, Oscar Montoya, and Jeremy Bent as we get entirely too excited about the latest Eurovision news, argue about which song should win this year, and explore the most inspiring, bizarre, and hilarious stories from the Contest’s start in 1956 all the way to today. Whether you’re a long-time Eurovision fan or completely new to it, we’ll make you into a Eurovangelist too!

So come listen to us try and answer some of the big questions about this year's crop of songs! Jeremy's setting off on the San Francisco Bay, Dimitry reveals one of his most hated songs of all time, and Oscar's out his brain, out his mind.

    Episode 109: Super Saturday 2026, ft. Boy George

    With five more national finals, we've made it to the end of the super Saturdays until 2027, but not without first covering Romania's Selecția Națională, the San Marino Song Contest, Poland's Krajowych Kwalifikacji, Sweden's Melodifestivalen, and Portugal's Festival da Canção. And our beloved Oscar is across the pond this week, so we're instead joined by our Eurovision-obsessed neighbor to the north, Worldvishawn, to talk about what we liked and what we didn't. Jeremy doesn't think one song is all that Bellissima, Shawn finds Portugal to be just a little too chill, and Dimitry revels in the madness that is San Marino.
