Eurovision Song Context
A show about the Eurovision Song Contest: identity (national and otherwise), taste, and culture. What makes an ESC act successful?
About the show
Every month a special guest tells us about themselves, and brings 2-3 old ESC acts that they either really love, or really don't. Are the entries so good they're good? Or so bad they're good? Or something else? ...Conversation ensues.
Episodes come out on the 12th of every month (the "douzeth").
First episodes available Mid October 2022.
We don't use ESC clips for copyright reasons, you'll have to find them on other platforms. This is a fan podcast and isn't sponsored by (or affiliated with) the EBU.
