    <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>Here’s a clean, listener-facing episode summary — tight, confident, not defensive:

What happens when you shrink vinyl down to four inches — but keep it fully playable?

In this episode, Bradley is joined by Jesse Mann, co-founder of Tiny Vinyl, and Dutch vinyl manufacturing consultant Ruben Planting to explore the resurgence of physical media in a streaming world. Tiny Vinyl is a fully playable four-inch record format that turns songs into collectible keepsakes — part merch object, part design experiment, part cultural artifact.

We talk about vinyl manufacturing, sustainability in pressing plants, the realities of scaling physical media, and why people still want something they can hold in their hands.

And because this is Eurovision Song Context, we test the idea on two entries that feel tailor-made for the format: Sébastien Tellier’s “Divine” (France 2008) and Joost Klein’s “Europapa” (Netherlands 2024).

Is Eurovision the ultimate collectible culture? And does tiny vinyl capture that spirit?</itunes:subtitle>
