    In this episode, Stephen deep dives into a Eurovision record nobody particularly wants, but one the United Kingdom has... and it's not the number of 'nil points'!

Germany is changing its national final format for Eurovision 2025, promising more viewer involvement. Australia will compete again in Eurovision 2025, marking their tenth year in the contest. The UK has an impressive record with 16 second place finishes at Eurovision, the most by any country.

    1993: A Eurovision Like Never Before - Part II

    Eurovision 1993 marked a pivotal moment in the contest's history, being the first to implement a relegation system and featuring an unprecedented number of participants from Eastern Europe. Hosted in the small town of Millstreet, County Cork, it was the smallest ever host city, but managed to pull off the biggest production in Eurovision history. In this episode, Steven Perkins delves into the backstory of how Millstreet became the unlikely host, highlighting the challenges faced in accommodating the event and the innovative solutions devised to make it all work. He looks back on the memorable performances, Ireland's back-to-back victory, and the poignant backdrop of the Bosnian War. It's safe to say, Eurovision 1993 was a show like no other. ...
