Eurovangelists

I knew nothing about Eurovision until I heard an ad of theirs on MaxFun. The ad worked and now I am a Eurovision fan! My only complaint is that I like to listen to podcasts at 1.25 speed and since they include music, that doesn’t feel right.

Cannot overstate how great this show is for Eurovision newbies and established Eurovision junkies. It’s funny, interesting, and smart. Many of my friends have been gently bullied into listening and now follow too - listen and bully your own friends for the greater good of being United by Music!

I enjoy listening to Eurovangelists and appreciate the hosts’ passion and insights into Eurovision. Most of the time, the commentary is engaging and entertaining. However, there are occasions when the criticism of contestants feels overly negative and personal without much context. For example, a performer was once described as both a “terrible singer” and a “terrible person” without any explanation to support those remarks. Additionally, while Eurovision is traditionally intended to be non-political, the podcast sometimes leans heavily into political discussions, which can overshadow the music and performances. A bit more balance between political commentary and celebration of the contest itself would make the show even stronger.

Great show! Doesn’t matter if you’re a big fan of ESC or new to the whole thing, Oscar, Dimitry, and Jeremy make it so easy to get hooked. It’s like listening to my funniest, wittiest friends talk about Eurovision!
