Eurovision Calling 2019 BBC Sounds

In this special, last episode, Scott chats with the man who was victorious in 2019, Duncan Laurence! Plus, we hear from our Prince Michael Rice and give San Marino's Serhat a call. After 18 episodes we’re all Eurovision’ed out! Thank you so much to everyone to who emailed us and downloaded the podcast!

NB – Contains spoilers! It’s been Eurovision Christmas with the final and here’s our Boxing Day equivalent debrief! What. A. Show. We whizzed you through our personal highlights and moments of the four hour epic and who we predicted would win against what actually happened. We chatted to Rylan after his turn as representative of the British Jury (and he doesn’t agree with all of their choices), plus Daniel ‘wizard’ Radcliffe shared his Eurovision love and brought us our penultimate lyric of the week. We got reassurance from Jayde about how our Prince was doing (all are agreed he did an amazing performance) and guys, we really needed to talk about Madonna.

We gave Netta a call right after her epic performance at Semi-Final 1 and we also had a visit from the Godfather of Eurovision, Graham Norton! And, there’s no denying the fact that they became the brother and sister duo of Eurovision 2019, so Jayde chatted to our Prince Michael Rice and gave him some last minute big-sisterly advice ahead of his jury performance.

Jayde and Scott were in Tel Aviv and gave their full analysis of Semi-Final 1, including all the backstage gossip from the UK’s commentary booth. But that’s not all we had in store for you, Scott had a catch-up with Mel Giedroyc and Jayde was reunited with our Prince Michael Rice and, well, our honorary Prince, seeing as he was born in Croydon and wrote our song - Sweden’s John Lundvik!

We made it! This episode was just ONE WEEK away from the first 2019 semi final and to celebrate, we talked to Scott’s other Eurovision partner in crime, Rylan! Montenegro’s D-Mol went ‘Under the Spotlight’ and we had a final catch up with our Prince, Michael Rice, before Tel Aviv! Jayde also chatted to one of her favourite acts of the competition, Australia’s Kate Miller Heidke! And finally, Eurovision Lyric of the Week was recited by none other than Richard Osman from Pointless!

We spoke to the woman responsible for possibly the greatest Eurovision song of all time, 2012’s Eurovision Champion - Loreen! We also had the host of Radio 1’s Drag Queens' Den podcast and Eurovision superfan Glyn Fussell in the studio with us! And at the end of the show just to top all of this Eurovision goodness off, we heard from the absolute Godfather of Eurovision, Graham Norton read our Eurovision Lyric of the Week!
