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").

They discuss how ESA converted the music into electromagnetic signals, transmitted it via a 35-meter deep space antenna in Spain, and sent it across the solar system toward Voyager 1 — correcting what the team calls a “cosmic omission” from NASA’s original Golden Record. Donato explains the physics of antennas, how ESA communicates with spacecraft millions of kilometers from Earth, and what it feels like to merge engineering, art, and human imagination. They also talk about Strauss’s 200th birthday, Vienna’s cultural storytelling, public engagement with space science — and yes — a little Sanremo. 8:53 no Watch Waltz into Space! https://space.vienna.info/en-US The hilarious promo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zt8OtLS6Ks See Interactive European Space Agency Highlights! https://www.esa.int/AboutUs/ESAPublications/ESA_Highlights Sanremo Playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9-QnEVcYR4&list=PL9hQqJZ-ycwVpGU7RWwXNWoFgwyYP8V9M Eurovision, Strauss, Waltz into Space, Donato Lospalluto, Sanremo, Sam Ryder, Voyager, Kate Miller-Heidke Watch Waltz into Space!
