A little Israeli boy from a poor Yemenite family grew up, transitioned, and became the most scandalous, fabulous Eurovision winner in history: meet Dana International. In part 2 of our Eurovision series, the story continues through PingPong's Syrian-boyfriend fever dream, Netta's chicken-noise feminist anthem, and the raw, post-October 7th performances of Eden Golan, Yuval Raphael, and Noam Bettan. Even with low jury scores and boycotts, Israeli songs keep winning the public's heart. Eurovision was never about the trophy. It's about the power to sing your own story, boos and all.

In Lithuania, singer Rūgilė Daujotaitė was becoming a familiar face on television. She was performing at major music events, competing for a place at Eurovision, and building a life that, from the outside, appeared successful. But privately, she says she was struggling. Raised in a family shaped by New Age spirituality and occult beliefs, Rūgilė grew up searching for God through a mixture of traditions. As an adult, she moved to Amsterdam to study jazz, became involved in shamanic practices and Santo Daime ceremonies, and began taking ayahuasca - a powerful psychedelic brew used in some religious rituals. Colm Flynn travels to Vilnius to meet Rūgilė in the home where she first encountered many of the ideas that shaped her early life. She reflects on leading retreats, introducing others to practices she has since rejected, and the moment she began reading the Bible and questioning the world she had embraced. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Heart and Soul, exploring personal approaches to spirituality from around the world.

A singer from Georgia sends audition videos from Dubai and suddenly finds herself on American Idol, representing her country at Eurovision, and reaching listeners in 179 countries. But the real story is not about fame. In this episode of Living the Red Life, Nutsa Buzaladze opens up about the pressure of performing on the world stage, the failure that forced her to rebuild herself, and why changing environments can completely reshape a person's future. She shares the mindset that helped her keep moving through public criticism, personal setbacks, and the pressure to achieve something bigger every year. For anyone building a business, personal brand, or creative career, this conversation explores confidence, reinvention, resilience, and the bold decision to stop fitting in and start becoming fully yourself.Key TakeawaysLeaving a comfortable environment is often necessary for real personal and professional growth.Confidence is a critical part of performance, leadership, and long-term success.Public criticism becomes unavoidable as visibility and influence increase.Gratitude and humility help maintain clarity during both highs and lows.Major failures can become the turning point that creates a stronger future.Notable Quotes“Standing up is harder actually than achieving success.”“The world is your oyster.”“I think you get the biggest breakthroughs when you actually embrace and become yourself.”“Bad people are going to try a lot to put you down.”

When will Bulgaria's broadcaster reveal the Eurovision 2027 host city? Well Boryana Gramatikova, BNT's Head of Delegation for Eurovision, tells us the decision is still being made because of the strength of host city bids from candidate cities Burgas and Sofia.

Why does Israel compete in Eurovision if it's not even in Europe? In Part 1, Noam Weissman unpacks how Israel went from Eurovision newcomer to music powerhouse, exploring the songs, stars, and surprising moments that put the Jewish state on Europe's biggest stage. It's a story of glitter, geopolitics, and Israeli identity. And the biggest Eurovision moment was still to come.

It's getting down to the wire for WestJet and the union representing thousands of its flight attendants. They still don't have a new contract, and the airline has cancelled nearly 200 flights. A lockout or a strike could start as early as tomorrow morning. Leaving passengers frustrated on one of the busiest summer travel weekends.Also: Communities across Canada are marking Emancipation Day. It's the anniversary of the Slavery Abolition Act coming into effect across the British Empire in 1834, and honours the resilience of Black communities and the turning point in the struggle to end slavery. But the battle to have the day officially recognized took a long time to see success.And: With performers from dozens of countries - and tens of millions of fans tuning in every year - there aren't many stages bigger than the Eurovision Song Contest. And next year, Canada will be taking part for the first time. Though Canadians have competed before on behalf of other countries. You'll hear from some of them to get a peek behind the curtain of what its like.Plus: B.C. wildfires, Fake food circulating in India, How wildfires are impacting wineries, and more.

“The Model,” a new predictor of Eurovision results, has taken the fandom by storm! This week, we’re talking with its creator, James Stephenson, about how The Model came to be, […]

We'll be covering the famously terrible 2008 Eurovision Song Contest in a livestream later this year, but we thought we ought to cover the second place winner (and Oscar's favorite!), 1991's ESC at Cinecittà in Rome. And since we couldn't keep this many mediocre ballads to ourselves, joining us for this highly dysfunctional edition of Eurovision is the hilarious writer & comedian Corin Wells. (Dropout, The Amber Ruffin Show). Jeremy can't believe they let this sax solo slide, Dimitry needs more people to cover Amina, Corin's playing her first Eurovision on Expert difficulty, and Oscar traces the origins of all of 91's choreo to an unlikely source.

The instantly-doomed American Song Contest really did seem like a good idea at the time: 56 states and territories competing for the hearts and minds of the public on NBC. The execution was not great, but we were pot-committed back in 2022 when we covered this pale imitation of Eurovision. What lessons can be learned before Asia tries its hand at the ESC formula?

That colossal all-seeing eye staring out from the FIFA World Cup Finals yesterday at the Meadowlands Stadium is the perfect emblem of the New World Order. Humanity gathered into one arena, surrounded by technology, united beneath a single unblinking gaze. The dark sphere at the center becomes the pupil, the exploding light forms the iris, and the surrounding skyscrapers point toward it like the spokes of an emerging global system. The New World Order to be precise. Also contained within that image is a a giant X behind the eye, a nod to the coming Antichrist, and the surrounding imagery suggestively reminsicient of a nuclear attack. At the very least, none of it had anything to do with a soccer match. The best part? It was watched by one/fifth of the entire world, just about 2 billion people.“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” Revelation 18:2,3 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, that is precisely how the New World Order presents itself. It doesn't announce chains, tyranny and servitude; it promises unity, security, peace, protection and global cooperation. The all-seeing eye declares that nothing will remain private, independent or beyond the reach of the system. Artificial intelligence, facial recognition, biometric identification, digital currency and constant surveillance are constructing a technological imitation of omniscience—Satan's counterfeit attempt to see everything, record everything and ultimately control everyone. And I'm sure it's just a crazy coincidence, but this is exactly the world we live in right now. Because sports garner the attention of the entire world, the big sporting events are used to broadcast these predictive programming messages. At the 2015 Super Bowl Halftime Show, it was Katy Perry riding a Beast and promoting Black Magic. At the 2020 Halftime Show, we saw Jay-Z and Beyonce dancing in the middle of the All-Seeing Eye throwing Illuminati symbolism. At the 2019 Eurovision, the world watched singer Madonna dressed as the biblical Antichrist, mocking Jesus on the cross. Then, we had the scariest one of them all, at the opening ceremony for the 2012 London Olympics that turned out to be perfect predictive programming for the 2020 COVID Plannedemic. So what happened yesterday at the FIFA World Cup Finals in New Jersey was not only not surprising, it was expected, and they did not disappoint. Today we get you up to speed with global events that are all pointing to the direct fulfillment of Bible prophecy. “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.”

1976. You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.Well, silly or not, the charts of this fascinating year were full of big, big hits. Crowdpleasers, I hear you cry? Well, whatever way you view 1976, and many so-called rock journos and hacks would do so rather disdainfully, the twelve months bookended by number ones by Queen and Johnny Mathis (!) were certainly colourful and (checks notes for suitable adjective) erm, eclectic. Whilst certain history threads (I'm looking at you again Channel 5) will tell you that everyone was embracing bondage trousers, safety pins and other overused punk stereotypes, the truth was that the cash registers at Woolworths were ringing to the sounds of everything from the Greek smock admirer Demis Roussos, Dutch fairground dwelling country swingers Pussycat and those loveable Rock and Roll revivalists and brothel creeper wearing funsters Showaddywaddy.And the biggest selling single of the year - well that would be the Brotherhood of Man's lip smacking shoe shuffler and Eurovision winning rocket.Yes, punk would no doubt influence the coming years of popular culture, but not whilst The Wurzels were ploughing the pop fields of '76.The world of compilations was shifting up a gear too as the album charts saw TV advertising become a major factor in changing the landscape of big sellers with huge number one sellers from the kids favourites Slim Whitman, Bert Weedon, Glen Campbell and The Beach Boys, who remained at number one for ten consecutive weeks through that Hot, Hot, Hot summer of 1976. Good vibrations indeed!And in the jet-pack future of the 21st Century, how much fun does 1976 look? Well, pop kids, let the Guardian's head rock and pop critic Alexis Petridis and author Ian Wade guide you through it courtesy of the spanking NOW Yearbook 1976.The emergence of the stadium rock, pop sound10cc inventing Paranoid AndroidGuilty Pleasures (or not!)The wonderfully weird world of FoxDisco - hello!And along the way, rediscover the shimmering sounds that kept us sane through the heatwave, explore how CB radio (and questionable radio 1 DJs, mate) became a real thing (but not by The Real Thing), consider what Cliff Richard and Lou Reed may have discussed in Studio 54, which single was Wadey's first, which artist's concert Alexis was joined by Johnny Trunk at, the story of Ruby Flipper and the Blue Peter garden, which acts not to get stuck in a lift with and why David Dundas is not struggling to find funds for his next pair of jeans.Confused? Lost? Over-stimulated? You're in great pop company then in 1976. And we wouldn't have it any other way.Whether you were there or are rediscovering this amazing pop year for the first time, grab a cool drink, and jump onboard. Hosted on Acast.

From war and nationalism to emigration patterns – there are many reasons languages go extinct. Author and journalist Sophia Smith Galer explains how so-called linguicide happens – and why it's not too late to bring languages that have been killed back to life, as discussed in her book, How to Kill a Language: Power, Resistance, and the Race to Save Our Words.Plus: From the World Cup to Eurovision, Canada has been doing a lot lately to make a bigger mark on the world stage, but what it means to be Canadian remains an open question. Comedian Charles Demers shares the language, symbols and quirks that he thinks define us – and why talking about identity together may be the most Canadian thing of all.

For millions of people, Eurovision is a cultural institution, and one of the biggest live television events on Earth. But for many Americans, it remains a complete mystery.

Along the way, they discover which music superstars got their start in Eurovision, how receiving “nul points” can ruin or launch a career, and what this competition reveals about Europe itself.

We're still riding the high of Dara's win from this year's contest, but how close had Bulgaria come to the glass microphone before? Pretty close... and very far, depending on the year. We're looking at all of Bulgaria's Eurovision entries since joining in 2005, and there seems to be a pattern of high highs and low lows for the country.

JB and Billy are having a little spell, so we're reliving our favourite moments from 2026. We start with a quiz that Billy tried to get out of before it started, then flashback to Chris Connolly's chat about the infamous Sirengate game in 2006. Billy had a brand new very serious news segment, Topics Brownless got interrupted, and we remember an Idiot Song all about his incapability with technology. A nasty crash in the Tour Down Under inspired a Craft Attack, and JB went 1-on-1 with Gout Gout. Topics Brownless came back - but a Jay-Z inspired quote from a listener had us in stitches. Then, the Herbmeister Nat Herbstreit joined the boys to talk about Eurovision - and some Triple M Footy personality's vocal efforts. Finally, Billy had a joke about one of the side effects of the Little Blue Pill.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The United Nations children's agency, UNICEF, has warned that children in Venezuela are at an increased risk of exploitation and trafficking, a week after the country was hit by two devastating earthquakes. It also said some 680,000 children were among 1.8 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. Two thousand three hundred people are known to have been killed, but tens of thousands are unaccounted for, and rescue teams are still searching through the rubble of collapsed buildings. The country's interim president, Delcy Rodriguez, has declared seven days of mourning. Also: we look at why millions of travellers in Europe have been suffering long delays.

The Trump administration says it won't renew the free trade agreement between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. But a member of the Canadian advisory team says that doesn't mean it's time to panic. 110 years after a First World War battle devastated a Newfoundland Regiment, a near-exact replica of a tree that stood on the battlefield has been unveiled — a powerful moment for one of the people who made it. Canada is officially joining the phenomenon known as Eurovision. And the Canadian behind the fringe show "A Canadian Explains Eurovision To Other Canadians" tells the uninitiated why that's such huge news. In celebration of Canada Day, we searched the archives for conversations about wonderful, odd, and sometimes controversial Canadian inventions, such as the much-discussed pineapple on pizza. The fact that he was at a LA Dodgers baseball game didn't stop one Mexico fan from cheering emphatically when his team scored a goal in a FIFA World Cup soccer game.As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition. Radio that gives you a very loud ballpark figure.

From ABBA's Eurovision breakthrough to Max Martin's methodical hit-making, Sweden has quietly engineered a kind of musical Stockholm Syndrome: we've all become captives to their sound without realizing it. Listen to the crystalline vocal production and deceptively simple chord progressions in tracks by Lisa, Childish Gambino, and Addison Rae, and you're hearing Sweden's sonic fingerprint so embedded in pop's DNA that it now defines the genre itself. We sit down with pop star Zara Larsson to explore her love letter to home, "Midnight Sun." As she puts it, "I can't really leave Sweden; it's just something that's like a part of who I am," a sentiment that captures how Swedish pop's unique blend of melancholy and euphoria, mirroring the country's extreme seasons, has made us all willing prisoners of Stockholm's musical empire. Songs Discussed Lisa ft. Rosalia: "New Woman" Childish Gambino: "Lithonia" Addison Rae: "Fame Is a Gun" Bleachers: "Tiny Moves" Zara Larsson: "Midnight Sun" Robyn: "Show Me Love" Robyn: "Dancing on My Own" Nirvana: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Brad Mehldau: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Learn more about your ad choices.
