    <description>We start with expertise and end up in Eurovision. It’s kind of our thing.
Eurovision Song Context is a monthly podcast that looks at the Eurovision Song Contest through an unexpected lens: expert insight. Each episode, a guest from a different field — psychology, fashion, politics, design, linguistics, and more — talk about their work and how it helps us understand 2–3 Eurovision entries in a whole new light. 
Are these songs genuinely good? So bad they’re good? Or just weirdly unforgettable?
Longform episodes come out on the 12th of every month (the "douzeth"). We're where brilliant minds meet bad key changes.

    <itunes:subtitle>A podcast where we bring in smart people. We talk about smart things, then veer into glitter, wind machines, and geopolitics. Experts. Insight. Eurovision chaos.</itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>Remember the girl in the sunflower jacket who opened Eurovision 2023? Her name is Angelina, and her intro in the first three minutes of Eurovision Semifinal 1 with a little boy named Josh probably had you in tears. In this episode I talk to her about opening ESC, representing Ukraine, Verka, and how glorious Sam Ryder's hair is.</itunes:subtitle>
