    Where Are We Now?

    Hello Europe (and Australia)... we are back! Ok, it's been a tough season, and the Douze Points team have been doing some quiet reflection on the state of Eurovision and the future of the podcast. More on the latter very soon, but we do have some news regarding the former, including an official statement from the EBU following the 2024 controversies. Plus, the current list of countries confirmed for Eurovision 2025 includes an unsurprising omission, and the BBC pull out of Junior Eurovision. Also, is the UK bringing back the national selection process? The rumour mill is running wild! Additional Links: EBU statement Freya Skye - Lose My Head (United Kingdom, Junior Eurovision 2022) STAND UNIQU3 - Back To Life (United Kingdom, Junior Eurovision 2023) Vladana - Breathe (Montenegro, 2022) Knez - Adio (Montenegro, 2015) If you love Eurovision as much as we do, don't forget to connect with us on social.
