Hvordan er det at opdage sit eget ansigt på en fremmed nøgen krop på Facebook? Det er blevet nemmere end nogensinde før at skabe ulovlige deepfake-videoer. Nu rammer det ikke kun kendte, men også helt almindelige mennesker. Skal Canada med i EU? Samarbejdet skal i hvert fald styrkes, siger både den canadiske premierminister Mark Carney og formanden for EU-Kommissionen, Ursula von der Leyen. Hvis ikke andet, så skal Canada med til Eurovision. Macklemore er blevet fyret fra Ed Sheerans tour, fordi han blandt andet råbte "Free Palestine" på scenen. Bandet Smag På Dig Selv er selv meget politisk, men er det okay at blande musik og politik på scenen? Vært: Adrian Busk. Medvirkende: Kevin Shakir, undersøgende journalist, DR Verificerer.

Deze week staat Ding-a-Dong in het teken van Junior Eurovision. De Nederlandse finale komt eraan en Marco Dreijer en Marit Bosman bespreken de vier acts die zaterdag in Rotterdam Ahoy strijden om een ticket naar Malta: Nolan, Vajèn, Maria en The Crossovers. Wie heeft volgens ons de beste papieren voor winst? En wat zegt het eigenlijk dat sommige acts nu al duidelijk meer streams en views hebben dan andere? Ook kijken we naar de rest van het deelnemersveld voor Junior Eurovision 2026. Zestien landen doen mee, Montenegro keert terug na jaren afwezigheid en opvallend veel liedjes zijn half september nog altijd niet bekend. Ondertussen zorgt ook het podiumontwerp in Malta voor discussie, omdat er online kritiek is op het gebruik van AI in de visuals rond het thema Join the Festa. Verder: Ilse DeLange biedt aan om de NPO te helpen bij een mogelijke Nederlandse deelname aan Eurovision 2027, Duncan Laurence steunt het besluit van AVROTROS, Mona Keijzer stelt opnieuw Kamervragen en bij Eurovision Asia blijft het voorlopig bij elf deelnemende landen. Ook is de nationale finale van Nepal uitgesteld. En natuurlijk de stelling van deze week:Kinderen moeten hun liedje voor het Junior Songfestival weer zelf schrijven.

People are often baffled as to why countries not in Europe join Eurovision, including Canada, who will be taking part in the competition from 2027. That's not all, with Canada and US relations not being as strong, it seems like Canada is looking towards the EU for a stronger relationship…Graham Finlay, Lecturer in the School of Politics and International Relations, University College Dublin joins Seán to discuss.

In the mid 1980's while working as a secretary at the cable TV Company HBO , songwriter Julie Gold wrote a song that would change her life. Singer, songwriter and Eurovision winner Paul Harrington joined Pat this morning for a closer look at the genesis and global success From A Distance had.

Föstudagsgesturinn okkar í dag var engin annar en Eyfi, Eyjólfur Kristjánsson. Hann hefur víða komið við í íslensku tónlistarlífi og hefur verið einn af vinsælustu tónlistarmönnum landsins síðustu áratugi. Hann er að gefa út glænýja plötu og við heyrðum tvö lög af henni í þættinum. Eyfi ólst upp í Vogahverfinu, fór snemma að spila á gítar og spilaði snemma á kvöldvökum í Kerlingafjöllum þar sem íslendingar fóru gjarnan í skíðaferðir en þar vann hann sem skíðakennari. Hann var hluti af Vísnavinum og Hálft í hvoru. Eyfi tók þátt í fyrstu undankeppni Eurovision árið 1986 og hefur svo auðvitað staðið á stóra sviðinu í keppninni erlendis og lagið hans Nína er enn í dag sungið af öllum kynslóðum við hin ýmsu tækifæri. Bítlavinafélagið, sólóferillinn, bandarísk tónlist æskunnar, siglingar á skemmtiferðaskipum og margt fleira var rætt í spjallinu við Eyjólf í dag. Matarspjallið með Sigurlaugu Margréti var svo á sínum stað og í dag ákváðum við að tala um matarminningar, góðar og slæmar og umræðuefnið var fiskur í þetta sinn. Tónlist í þættinum: Dagar / Eyfi (Eyjólfur Kristjánsson, texti Aðalsteinn Ásberg Sigurðsson) Við getum allt / Eyfi (Eyjólfur Kristjánsson) Hang on baby / Eyfi (Eyjólfur Kristjánsson) UMSJÓN: GUNNAR HANSSON OG GUÐRÚN GUNNARSDÓTTIR

To respect BDS, we won't be playing this AI-generated apologia for the Gaza genocide, or anything else from George's catalogue, but Tim does explore the British singer's confused history of political pronouncements on this and other issues, alongside some contemporaneous synth-pop from his New Romantic heyday. Elsewhere in the episode Tim talks about his own Jewish upbringing, the history of Israel, the nation's participation in Eurovision, current reflections on the horrors being perpetrated in Palestine, and some modern and vintage Palestinian liberation music. Patreon.com/LoveMessagePodwww.loveisthemessagepod.co.ukTracklist:The Equals - Black Skinned Blue Eyed Boys Visage - Fade to Grey Heaven 17 - (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thing Kofia - Leve Palestina Roger Waters - Comfortably Numb Re-Imagined

Eurovision kijkt steeds verder naar het oosten! Deze week duiken Marco Dreijer en Marit Bosman in het allereerste Eurovision Song Contest Asia. De eerste liedjes voor Bangkok zijn gekozen: wat vinden we van CARMELLE voor de Filipijnen, Nyendra uit Bhutan en de Zuid-Koreaanse JUNHEE? En krijgen we straks écht Mongoolse keelzang op het Songfestival? Ondertussen blijft ook de Nederlandse deelname aan Eurovision 2027 voer voor discussie. Talpa biedt de NPO hulp aan, terwijl Jan Slagter na maanden flirten met het Songfestival nu definitief zegt dat Omroep MAX het tóch niet gaat doen. Kan een samenwerking tussen een publieke omroep en Talpa de deur naar Burgas alsnog openhouden? En als Talpa zich ermee bemoeit: willen we dan ook meteen een nationale finale? Verder: Hongarije onderhandelt over een terugkeer na zeven jaar afwezigheid, de eerste plannen voor Arena Burgas liggen op tafel, Estland komt met een opvallende nieuwe regel voor Eesti Laul, Australië bevestigt deelname en Måneskin komt weer bij elkaar voor een eenmalige reünie tijdens Sanremo. De stelling van deze week:Als Talpa de NPO wil helpen, moet Nederland ook weer een nationale finale uitzenden. Reageren?

“I've been, so one of my writer friends who I published, a guy called Ian Kerner, he was one of the producers behind “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley and “Stay Another Day” by Seventeen and Kylie. He was a big producer, and I took him to Eurovision. He was the first person I went with, and he turned to me and said, ‘This is the biggest thing I've ever done.' And I'm sitting there thinking, ‘But you were number one in America with Rick Astley.' Yet he's saying that he meant the show. The show was, ‘I've never been, it's like the Olympics. It's that big.' And then you want to go back every year. Every time I take someone new, they're like, ‘I'll come back next year. I'm trying to get in next year.'” – Greig WattsThis episode's guest is one half of the UK-based writing, production and publishing team DWB, and in recent years, he's successfully hosted several songwriting camps, catering to Asia and Eurovision. The triumph of these camps and the songs they produced has established him as an expert in the fields of songwriting for the Eurovision Song Contest. Since 2016, he's supervised eighteen Eurovision entries across eleven consecutive years, along with approximately 80 national finalists within that time frame. His expertise has also led to him becoming a sought-after conference speaker, panelist, and moderator; he was the Music Consultant for Eurovision for the BBC for 2019, and he's just released his first book, Keeping the Dream Alive, which has already become an Amazon bestseller.In this conversation, we explore the moments when he nearly walked away from music, the power of reconnecting with the sounds that first moved him, and why he believes creativity is less about ego and more about connection. His name is Greig Watts, and we talk about using Eurovision as a strategic launchpad and how understanding the business of music can protect the soul of it. If you've wondered how sound becomes strategy, or how resilience turns into resonance, this episode is for you.And if you like what you hear and you want to support this podcast, there are a bunch of ways to do that at audiobrandingpodcast.com, including subscribing to the YouTube channel, the newsletter, writing a review, or buying me a coffee. Because this takes a lot of coffee. Thanks so much.(00:00) – Greig's Transition to SongwritingOur conversation starts off with Greig's early memories of sound, particularly how, as a toddler, Manfred Mann's “Do Wah Diddy Diddy” became part of the soundtrack of his life. “Whenever I hear that song,” he explains, “my great-grandmother Goodman pops back into my head, and I can only have been three at the time, but it's a real, definite memory, and I think I've got lots of those memories.” Greig tells us how his career in sound began, including how he turned down a record deal as the lead singer to follow his true passion. “What I really wanted was the songwriting,” he tells us. “It wasn't to be a front person… I was kind of getting engaged to my first wife, and I was like, I don't really want to go to Japan and be a front person in a band. I want to be a songwriter.”(14:05) – Eurovision and the Global MarketGreig tells us about his work with Eurovision and what it's taught him about bringing new musical acts to the world. “We organized our own songwriting camp,” he recalls, “and asked people to come. Probably had thirty people out there, and that's how we got our first entry for Norway. And since then, we've had an entry every year, and actually we've had 18 entries in 11 years.” We discuss his work with boy bands, J-pop, and K-pop artists, and how the international pop scene's shifted in recent years. “Japanese [artists] don't tend to come out of Japan so much,” he explains. “It's a big market, they're not so bothered about that. But Korean culture, the government is funding Korean culture coming out. That's why we're getting, you know, Squid Game. That's why we get lots of Korean films.”(28:41) – Greig's Reflections on CreativityWe discuss how Greig's career almost took a turn away from sound, and what it took to bring him back into the industry. “Eventually, I kind of felt I needed to take a year off,” he tells us, “but I wasn't going to say that. I kind of knew it, and eventually, about two years later, my wife said, ‘You need to finish now. You need to go and take a year off.'" He talks about his foray into banking, and the breakthrough that cemented his career as a songwriter. “We did say, give me a year and if I'm not making money by the end of the year, then I go back to the bank… On month twelve, I got offered a job to set up a publishing department of a record label, which meant as a songwriter, I suddenly had income.”Episode SummaryGrieg's shift from band member to songwriter and music consultant.His insights into the Asian music market and its dynamics.Our discussion on how sound influences our feelings and memories.Tune in for next week's episode as we discuss the valuable lessons his grandfather shared with him and others in his life, how neurodiversity can almost be an advantage when it comes to certain industries, and why being the best songwriter doesn't necessarily lead to the most success.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

Fredrik snackar med Olof Lindman som berättar om videohantering på SVT. Det är på sätt och vis CI/CD för videofiler, och det finns miljoner val och avvägningar att göra längs vägen. Olof har jobbat med området i tio år och har både perspektiv på utvecklingen, och svårt att sluta se vad som inte är tillräckligt bra i komprimerad video. Från att inte vara beroende av externa molnleverantörer till att kontinuerligt utvärdera kvalitetsavvägningar, vilka enheter som behöver stödjas, och inte minst uppdatera gammalt material till moderna format. Spännande utmaningar just nu är bland annat standardformat för hur innehåll mottas och redigeras, och börja sända mer i fler HDR-standarder. Sist men inte minst en liten anekdot från Eurovision 2016.

We thought we were going to sit down for a nice simple episode of the podcast, and then the EBU announced everything. Burgas! New age limit! No more pre-recorded backing tracks!

Jeremy's glad to see Sam up to his old tricks again, Dimitry wants you to check out the Jiva back catalog, Irene explains the 90s appeal of Satoshi, and Oscar sees the other side of a melancholy Dane.

The votes are in, the jury's got its favorite and the same for the public: it's time to see who reigns supreme as we sort through the winners of the Eurovision Song Contest through the eighties and nineties. Some surprises on both sides, but there's also a shocking amount of consensus at the top of the standings and the bottom. In the middle, however? Outliers abound. Jeremy will make believe this moment's here to stay, Dimitry lets the feeling take control, and Oscar sees forever in your smile.  Watch all 20 Eurovision winners on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrVhbji3NU0&list=PLOkEuXDlyT_k&pp=sAgC See the results of our listener poll: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kXzuHArkwmbKOdOZXMAe2qYg9-p6fwxb_cLpSwRPiRI/ This week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1DRSgYoEu6bjw7qf0KBUkQ Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

The European Broadcasting Union - the organiser of the Eurovision Song Contest - has said the winning country will "automatically be ineligible to host" if their state is involved in an "armed conflict" or "sensitive geopolitical situation".

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.”
