    New Season, New Irish Team, New Eurovision?

    We're back! It's finally time to kick-off season FOUR of the Éirevision Podcast. In this jam-packed premiere, we catch up after a 'quiet' few months and tease everything coming your way this season. First up: Ireland has a brand-new delegation! Alan Tyler and Katherine Drohan take over, and Michael Kealy bows out — and yes, we’ve got thoughts!. Then we jet off to… Vienna! The 2026 Host City is official. Plus: there’s a shiny new Eurovision logo and the internet is doing what the internet does best. After a quick breather, we dive into the return of Romania, Bulgaria, and Moldova to the contest. Could Canada be knocking on the Eurovision door too? And of course, we chat through the big talking point of the year: Ireland withdrawing from the contest alongside Spain, Slovenia, The Netherlands and potentially more. We'll catch-up with all the latest news as we edge closer to the EBU General Assembly meeting in December which will decide if Israel stays or goes...

    Ireland fail to qualify for Eurovision 2025 Final - Our Semi-Final 2 Reaction!

    Semi-Final 2 of Eurovision 2025 delivered its share of drama, surprise qualifiers, and emotional exits as Ireland’s EMMY and her high-energy anthem "Laika Party" unfortunately missing out on a place in Saturday’s Grand Final. Despite a performance filled with intergalactic flair and an infectious chorus, Ireland fell short in a fiercely competitive lineup. It’s a tough result for Irish fans, many of whom had placed big hopes on EMMY’s bold staging and pop appeal to take them through. The 10 countries that did secure a place in the Grand Final are: 🇱🇹 Lithuania | Katarsis – Tavo Akys 🇮🇱 Israel | Yuval Raphael – New Day Will Rise 🇦🇲 Armenia | PARG – SURVIVOR 🇩🇰 Denmark | Sissal – Hallucination 🇦🇹 Austria | JJ – Wasted Love 🇱🇺 Luxembourg | Laura Thorn – La Poupée Monte Le Son 🇫🇮 Finland | Erika Vikman – ICH KOMME 🇱🇻 Latvia | Tautumeitas – Bur Man Laimi 🇲🇹 Malta | Miriana Conte – SERVING 🇬🇷 Greece | Klavdia – Asteromáta Conor and Lou are joined by Alex Basmati to dissect the results — from surprise qualifiers to the biggest snubs of the night. Together, they break down what worked, what didn’t, and why EMMY’s space-pop spectacle may have struggled to connect with voters.
