It wouldn't be a Halloween episode without an extra spooky guest, so we've got the winner of Season 2 of the Boulet Brothers' Dragula, Biqtch Puddin', on the show to talk all things creepy (both meanings). We take a look at the many songs over the years that aim for the darker side of the contest's fans, and to what degree they succeed or fail. Jeremy's begging for some color, Dimitry makes it clear which nicknames he will and will not accept, Biqtch takes a moment to appreciate a doily, and Oscar puts Luke Black in the line of fire.Atlanta Eurovangelists!

Los aficionados a las ucronias suelen afirmar que, si Hitler hubiera entrado en la Academia de Bellas Artes, hoy no habria documentales de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Y si Churchill no hubiera suspendido el examen militar y hubiera acabado en un cuartel remoto, lo mismo hoy hablariamos aleman. De igual manera, si Stalin hubiera seguido en el seminario, habria sido sacerdote en Georgia y no habria habido gulag. Quien sabe lo que habria pasado si Napoleon hubiera acabado como notario en Corcega, si Lenin hubiera conseguido un empleo en Zurich o si Mao hubiera triunfado en la poesia...Salvando las distancias, muchos nos hemos preguntado que habria sucedido si Marengo, el grupo de musica melodica en el que Carlos Mazon era vocalista, hubiera sido seleccionado para Eurovision, evento al que concurrio sin lograr clasificarse; que hubiera sucedido si finalmente se hubiera consolidado en los escenarios...Dice Jabois que lo unico que se recordara dentro de cien anos sera la factura del Ventorro y el paseo por el parking. Seguramente ni eso. A lo mejor dentro de cien anos nadie recuerda ni lo que era un parking. Pero hay algo que si perdura: la certeza de que lo peor que puede decirse de un politico cuando todo se ha dicho es que habriamos estado mejor si nunca se hubiera metido en politica.Ser feliz es ignorar, y nosotros ignoramos los desastres que se evitaron porque cierta gente no se metio en politica. No nos hagamos dano.

1956 stand Freddy Quinn beim allerersten Eurovision Song Contest mit dem Song "So geht das jede Nacht" für Deutschland auf der Bühne – und zugleich, wenn man so will, als erster Österreicher. Sein Leben gleicht einer Legende. Doch wie viel davon ist wahr, und welche Bilder gehören geradegerückt? Um das Rätsel Freddy Quinn zu entschlüsseln, haben wir mit Daniel Böcking, dem Autor seiner Autobiografie, und mit Biograf Elmar Kraushaar gesprochen.Bereits 2011 erschien das Buch "Freddy Quinn: Ein unwahrscheinliches Leben" von Elmar Kraushaar im Atrium Verlag. Elmar Kraushaar, langjähriger Eurovision-Berichterstatter für die Berliner Zeitung und bereits 1983 Autor des ersten Buches über den deutschen Schlager ("Rote Lippen – die ganze Welt des deutschen Schlagers"), geht in seiner nicht autorisierten Biographie den Mythen und Legenden rund um das fast unglaubliche Leben von Freddy Quinn auf den Grund. In akribischer Recherche setzt er den Mythen ein echtes Bild eines erfolgreichen Sängers und Entertainers entgegen.Der Journalist Daniel Böcking hatte die Gelegenheit, Freddy Quinns Lebensgeschichte persönlich nach Interviews mit ihm aufzuschreiben. 2025 erschien so die Autobiographie des mittlerweile 94-jährigen Superstars, der Deutschlands Musikwelt über vier Jahrzehnte geprägt hat. "Freddy Quinn. Wie es wirklich war" erschien in der Edition Koch. Daniel Böcking hat uns auch den kurzen Clip von Freddy Quinn mit dessen Erlaubnis zur Verfügung gestellt. In seiner Autobiographie erzählt Quinn von seinen Anfängen, räumt aber auch selbst mit dem Seemanns-Image und den Halbwahrheiten auf, die Quinns Produzent Lotar Olias rund um den Star verbreiten ließ. Freddy Quinn ist eine Legende. Der Entertainer hält bis heute gemeinsam mit Caterina Valente den Rekord, des längsten Nummer 1-Hits der Geschichte. Sein Durchbruch mit "Heimweh" hielt sich 21 Wochen und sechs Tage auf der Nummer 1 der deutschen Verkaufscharts. Zig Millionen verkaufter Tonträger, Straßenfeger-TV-Show-Master, erfolgreicher Kino-Star der frühen 60er, Quinn hatte (fast) alles erreicht. Der 1931 in Österreich geborene Wahl-Hamburger lebt jetzt mit seiner Frau Rosi am Land.Natürlich müssen auch Daniel Böcking und Elmar Kraushaar unsere Fragen am Schluss beantworten. Auf der Playlist haben sie keinen einzigen Song vom Eurovisions-Jahrgang 2025. Der absolute Lieblingstitel vom Eurovision Song Contest ist für den frankophilen Elmar Kraushaar "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", France Galls Siegerlied für Luxembourg aus dem Jahr 1965. Für Daniel Böcking ist es der Hit für seine ganze Familie, der deutsche Siegertitel "Ein bißchen Frieden" von Nicole, geschrieben von Ralph Siegel und Bernd Meinunger.Sonja, Marco und Alkis erinnern sich entsprechend in ihrem Geplauder an Bernd Meinunger, dem Textdichter von über 5.000 Titeln, darunter ettlichen Eurovision-Hits.In der Kleinen Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Marco von einem Kommentator mit zweifelhafter Vergangenheit.

There's "a lot going on" as Carey likes to say on this episode of "It's All Music Podcast" - The lads have set up a camera in an attempt to capture episodes on video going forward.With that going on in the background, it still doesn't take away from their chat of all things music, what's being going on with them musically and at their own gigs lately.They chat about Irish influences on music and the Irish connection to some high profile musicians or songs, world legends who had Irish connection or Irish heritage.Quirky has fun with a funny topic of things you might say or hear at gigs that might also translate in the bedroom!“Geography and Music” segment has a listen to a band from Lithuania “Kararsis” - same crowd that performed at the Eurovision.Plenty of chat, craic & laughs throughout with a guitar picking cover of "House of the Rising Son" by Carey near the end.Make sure to check out the It's All Music Patreon Page for video footage of this Episode & more “Behind The Scenes” content.https://www.patreon.com/itsallmusicpodcast?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creatorFrom Carey & Quirky @ IT'S ALL MUSIC - THANKS FOR LISTENING Hosted on Acast.

Chính với nhạc phẩm kinh điển « Jamaica Farewell » (Giã từ Jamaica), Gerard Joling mở màn vòng lưu diễn châu Âu vào mùa thu 2025. Nam danh ca người Hà Lan đã chọn sân khấu làm nơi ăn mừng với giới hâm mộ 40 năm sự nghiệp. Trong số những giai điệu ăn khách của ông, một số bài từng được đặt thêm lời Việt như « Cho em về miền nắng ấm » của nhạc sĩ Phú Quang hay « Lời yêu thương » của tác giả Đức Huy. Năm nay 65 tuổi, Gerard Joling nổi tiếng tại Hà Lan từ giữa những năm 1980, ban đầu như một ca sĩ và sau đó như một người dẫn chương trình truyền hình. Sinh trưởng tại thị trấn Schagen, (phía bắc Hà Lan) cách thành phố Amsterdam hơn 60 cây số, Gerard Joling ban đầu vào nghề sân khấu như một diễn viên múa, xuất hiện trong nhiều video nhạc pop của các nhóm nhạc trẻ ăn khách tại Hà Lan thời bấy giờ như Earth & Fire hay Dolly Dots. Dịp may đến với ông vào năm 1985, nhờ lọt vào vòng chung kết chương trình thi hát SoundMixshow của Henny Huisman, Gerard Joling ký được hợp đồng ghi âm chuyên nghiệp đầu tiên. Tuy không về đầu cuộc thi, nhưng Gerard Joling sau đó lại nổi tiếng hơn cả giọng ca đoạt giải nhất. Hai đĩa đơn ghi âm vào năm 1985, bao gồm « Love Is In Your Eyes » (Tình yêu trong đôi mắt) và « Ticket To The Tropics » (Về miền nắng ấm) giúp cho Gerard Joling từng bước chinh phục hạng nhất thị trường Hà Lan.  Bốn năm sau khi thành công tại nước nhà, Gerard Joling thực hiện bước đột phá trên thị trường quốc tế với album phòng thu thứ tư. Tập nhạc « No more bolero's » (1989) thành công lớn tại Hà Lan cũng như ở nước ngoài. Album này đứng đầu bảng xếp hạng tại nhiều nước châu Âu trong nhiều tuần liên tục. Sau khi được mời làm giọng ca đại diện cho Hà Lan nhân Cuộc thi hát Truyền hình châu Âu Eurovision vào năm 1988, Gerard Joling chinh phục thêm thị trường châu Á vào đầu thập niên 1990, trở thành nghệ sĩ Hà Lan ăn khách nhất ở nước ngoài. Nhân một cuộc phỏng vấn gần đây trên kênh truyền hình RTL, Gerard Joling cho biết là tính đến nay anh đã bán được hơn 30 triệu đĩa nhạc, trong đó có một nửa là nhờ vào thành công trên các thị trường châu Á từ cuối những năm 1980.  Song song với nghề ca hát, Gerard Joling càng thêm nổi tiếng một thập niên sau đó nhờ dẫn nhiều show truyền hình, hay làm giám khảo trong các cuộc thi tuyển lựa tài năng mới như « Popstars », Giọng ca hay nhất Hà Lan « The Voice Senior of Holland » hay Ca sĩ mặt nạ « The Masked Singer » …Ban đầu khởi nghiệp hát solo, ông còn nổi tiếng nhờ hợp tac với nhiều tên tuổi khác trong làng giải trí : trong đó thành công nhất vẫn là ban nhạc De Toppers được thành lập lần đầu tiên vào năm 2005, cách đây vừa đúng hai thập niên.  Khi Gerard Joling hợp tác với hai ca sĩ trứ danh khác là René Froger và Gordon Heuckeroth, kế hoạch ban đầu của họ là tổ chức một đêm nhạc chủ đề với những ca khúc nổi tiếng, ba ca sĩ hát luân phiên, tiếp sức cho nhau và thường chỉ biểu diễn một lần duy nhất trên sân vận động. Thế nhưng trước sự thành công vang dội, vượt ngoài mọi dự đoán, nhóm De Toppers tổ chức biểu diễn ở quy mô lớn thường xuyên hơn.  Các đêm nhạc của họ trở thành điểm hẹn hàng năm của giới yêu nhạc nhẹ. Đội hình của nhóm đã thay đổi sau hai thập niên hoạt động và hiện bao gồm Gerard Joling, René Froger, Jeroen Van Der Boom và Jan Smit, chứ không còn có sự tham gia của Gordon Heuckeroth. Mặc dù khá bận rộn với lịch diễn tại châu Âu, nhưng Gerard Joling vẫn sẽ có mặt tại buổi trình diễn của nhóm De Toppers vào mùa Giáng Sinh năm 2025 trên sân vận động thành phố Rotterdam.  Trong vòng 40 năm sự nghiệp, Gerard Joling đã ghi âm khoảng 20 album solo và hàng chục album cộng tác với nhiều nghệ sĩ khác. Một trong những tập nhạc hay nhất của ông mang tựa đề « Nostalgia » (Hoài niệm) khi ông thể hiện lại những giai điệu kinh điển trữ tình bằng chất giọng tenor ấm áp du dương của mình. Những bài ca nồng ấm kỷ niệm, từ  « Unchained Melody » giai điệu tái sinh cho đến « Love Story»  muôn thuở một chuyện tình.

Listen, we all love the Eurovision Classics: Waterloo, Love Shine A Light, etc. But sometimes these songs get a little overexposed, and that's when they need a few years to cool off in the Eurovision Vault. We take a look at a few songs that could use a rest as interval acts or medley choices, and offer up some replacements that might sound a little fresher to the ears of the discerning ESC fan. Jeremy's making a good living on the wages of love, Dimitry reveals his all-time Eurovision crush, and Oscar's shouting Hallelujah.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 22ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1980 bhí triúir fear sa chúirt ar triail do dhúnmharú de Gharda I Ros Comáin. I 1993 tháinig sé amach go mbeadh an plean forbairt don rialtas leis an chostas 20 billiúin punt, laghdaithe go 16 billiúin punt I 6 bhliain. I 1980 tháinig sé amach gur cheannaigh sreang ollmhargaí Quinsworth an t-ionad siopadóireachta in Inis. I 1999 tháinig gaineamh ón Sahara agus an Spáinn agus bhí sé sin an fáth a raibh a lán dath meirg ar carr in Inis. Sin Meat Loaf le I'd Do Anything For Love – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1993. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1999 tháinig sé amach go raibh Sinéad O'Connor ag iarradh eaglais a cheannach – áit a oirníodh ina gCaitliceach í. Bhí an eaglais ar dhíol do 70 míle punt. I 2005 tháinig sé amach go raibh Waterloo ó ABBA an t-amhrán is fearr ón Eurovision riamh. D'fhéach daoine ar seó speisialta I 31 tír timpeall an Eoraip agus bhí vótáil ag dul ar aghaidh chun ceiliúradh a dhéanamh do 50 bhliain. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Jeff Goldblum I Meiriceá I 1952 agus rugadh aisteoir Christopher Lloyd I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1938 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 22nd of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1980: 3 men facing charges of the capital murder of a Garda in Roscommon was on trial before the special criminal court. 1993: The governments much valued £20bn National development plan will be worth only £16bn or less in six years 1980: The Quinsworth supermarket chain has bought the Ennis shopping center. 1999: Sands from the Sahara or the high plateaus of Spain were probably responsible for the light coating of rust coloured deposits in vehicles in Ennis That was Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love – the biggest song on this day in 1993 Onto music news on this day In 1999 It was reported that Sinead O'Connor was attempting to buy the church where she was ordained into the Catholic sisterhood. The church was on the market for £70,000. 2005 Waterloo by ABBA was voted the best song in the history of the Eurovision Song Contest. Viewers in 31 countries across Europe voted during a special show in Copenhagen to celebrate the annual event's 50th birthday. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Jeff Goldblum was born in America in 1952 and actor Christopher Lloyd was born in America on this day in 1938 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Crise historique : l'Eurovision au bord de l'implosionDepuis 1956, l'Eurovision a résisté aux crises. Mais en 2026, la participation d'Israël — alors que le pays est accusé de crimes de guerre à Gaza — plonge l'UER (Union Européenne de Radio-Télévision) dans une tempête morale, politique et médiatique. Public divisé, diffuseurs menaçant de se retirer, système de vote contesté : jusqu'où le concours peut-il tenir sans se renier ?Dans cet épisode spécial, Thomas (hôte), Fabien (journaliste médias), Quentin (spécialiste politique) et Vincent (artiste, chroniqueur) passent le concours au crible, sans langue de bois :Partie 1 — L'UER au pied du mur : retour sur l'annulation du vote de novembre, la “neutralité” devenue intenable, et les fractures entre diffuseurs (menaces de boycotts vs. soutien à Israël).Partie 2 — Géopolitique d'un concours : l'Eurovision comme outil de soft power ; trêve fragile qui ne change pas la perception ; double standard Russie/Israël ; quand l'UER déporte la parole morale vers fans, artistes et médias.Partie 3 — La musique sous pression : de October Rain (2024) à New Day Will Rise (2025), lignes rouges franchies ; cas Bachar Mourad ; vers une contagion des “chansons-manifeste” où jurys et publics votent aussi une position.Partie 4 — Quel futur ? Trois scénarios, tous coûteux :Israël reste → retraits en chaîne (Espagne, Pays-Bas, Irlande, Slovénie…) et perte de crédibilité ;Israël se retire de son plein gré → apaisement temporaire mais problème non résolu ;Israël est exclu (tôt = crise financière, tard = crise morale).Dans tous les cas, une réforme de fond devient inévitable : charte éthique, transparence, règles de vote repensées, procédure claire en contexte de guerre.Entre analyse, contradictions de l'UER, satire (la chronique de Vincent) et amour sincère du concours, 12 Points pose la question qui fâche : la musique peut-elle encore réunir quand la scène devient un champ de bataille symbolique ?

Dublin-born, Cork-based artist Laura Elizabeth Hughes released her debut album Knots & Echoes on October 3. Having started out by uploading Lana Del Rey covers to YouTube, Laura released a steady stream of singles over the years, collaborations with Cian '1000 Beasts' Sweeney and co-wrote one of Ireland's entries to Eurovision. It's all led up to her debut album, a blend of spoken word with folk fused lyricism that showcases her delicate vocal harmonies alongside melodies that shimmer with emotion. Knots & Echoes moves through the push and pull of youth and memory, where home is as much an inner landscape as it is the people and places we return to, some of them not being easy places to exist in. These pieces follow the quiet imprints others leave behind, the knots we tie, carry, and slowly work loose, through to the self-reckoning that comes with trying to carve out a space of our own. Connection, loss, and the steady but tentatively open armed shift toward selfhood run through each track; the past shaping the contours of the present for better or worse. Laura is supporting Bell X1 on their winter tour: October 24: Theatre Royal, Waterford October 25: Limetree Theatre, Limerick October 26: Spiegeltent, Wexford November 28: Guildhall, Derry November 29: Mandela Hall, Belfast December 4-5: St Nicholas' Collegiate Church, Galway December 6: Gleneagle Club, Killarney Buy Knots & Echoes: https://lauraelizabethhughes.bandcamp.com/album/knots-and-echoes

The European Broadcasting Union has postponed its plan to hold a membership vote to decide if Israel's broadcaster KAN will be allowed to compete in next year's Eurovision. While it remains unclear if the vote will still happen, it doesn't fully resolve how the EBU got to this point in the first place. We'll take a closer look at other times the EBU's non-political stance has been tested and see what lessons can be applied going forward.

It’s probably the most famous Eurovision song of all time (sorry ABBA) – Domenico Modugno’s “Nel blu, dipinto di blu” – aka “Volare” – has captured the hearts of listeners […]

The UK's 2006 Eurovision entry was a song called "Teenage Life," which placed 19th. But what placed far higher in our hearts is the incredible BBC3 documentary Daz's Eurovision about the man, the myth, the legend, Daz Sampson. It's a veritable Spinal Tap's worth of hilarious moments, bizarre musical connections, and at least one moment where Daz suggests he's as good a songwriter as Paul McCartney.

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: 00:03:50 Overview Of This Week's Stories00:04:50 Man Drinking Alcohol At City Library Kicked OutA man was evicted from a library in Reykjavík for drinking alcohol in the library's bathroom on Friday. The police said that drinking in the library was not good “library etiquette”.00:10:45 Laxness On His Way Out Of Icelandic College CurriculumNovels by Halldór Laxness, the only Icelander ever to win a Nobel prize, will soon no longer be taught in Icelandic schools 00:26:20 Icelanders Can Now Be Named MohammedThe Icelandic Naming Committee decided on five new names that Icelanders can use this past week. The names in question were Tenchi, Ivy, Ýri, Meryem and Múhameð, which is the Icelandic spelling of Mohammed.00:33:40 Former Icelandic Popstar And Activist Arrested On The High Seas By IsraelMargrét Kristín Blöndal, arrived in Amsterdam this past weekend after having been released from custody by the State of Israel. Margrét, or Magga was arrested last Wednesday along other members of the so called Freedom Fleet, trying to get aid to Gaza by way of the sea. A ceasefire has been declared in Gaza. Also, the foreign minister of Palestine, Dr. Varsen Aghabekian, happened to be in Iceland when the ceasefire was announced.00:39:30 Two Thirds Of Icelanders Think Iceland Should Not Participate In Eurovision, If Israel Is Allow To ParticipateA recent poll, conducted this September, 67% of participants said Iceland should rather stay out of Eurovision next year if Israel participates. Younger people were less likely to want Iceland to withdraw in that scenario, while people from outside Reykjavík were likelier than the inhabitants of Reykjavík, to want Iceland to boycott the competition.00:41:00 The Murder Case That Never RestsIn 1974, two men disappeared within 10 months of each other. These men were named Guðmundur and Geirfinnur. The case led to numerous arrests, and finally long time prison sentences. Much doubt has been cast on whether those charged and sentenced were actually guilty. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

The dreaded second spot in the Grand Final lineup has a lot of lore surrounding it, spoken only in hushed tones by those that fear its power. But it turns out despite not producing any winners in 70 years, it hasn't been all bad for those forced to contend with the supposed "Death Slot."

The European Broadcasting Union will vote in November on whether Israel can compete in the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna. Under a new rule, if more than 50% of members vote to exclude Israel, next year's contest will take place without Israel. And the vote, expected in December has now been brought forward to November.

Kate Adie presents stories from the occupied West Bank, the US, Brazil, South Korea and Russia.When the UK government recognised a Palestinian state, he said he was acting “to revive the hope of peace and a two-state solution.” But Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the move won't “bind Israel in any way.” Our Middle East Correspondent, Yolande Knell has been to Bethlehem to hear about Palestinians doubts and demands.At the UN General Assembly this week, Donald Trump took to the stage and gave a scathing speech. He claimed UN predictions on climate change were wrong and criticised its assistance of asylum seekers. Mr Trump has never been shy in attacking political opponents – but it's a trend that seems to have stepped up a gear since he returned to the White House, says Anthony Zurcher in Washington.Our correspondent, Ione Wells, recently met the Brazilian President, Lula Da Silva as he contemplates a re-election run next year.

Can we talk about Trump's culture war, Putin's war on inclusivity, and just about everyone's unwillingness to pay teachers fair wages—and giggle throughout? You better believe it. Nina Lamparski is back in the hosting chair, and strap in, listeners, because this week's show is a *ride.* Our guest this week is the delightful and incisive political analyst Paweł Zerka of the European Council on Foreign Relations. Paweł returns to the podcast to tell us why Europe is living in a Truman-Show-style universe directed by Donald Trump and his international team. We pick Paweł's terrific brain about what our leaders can do to build upon the growing pro-European sentiment (really!) and engage with the US as its peer, not its lackey. Plus: Nina raises a glass of crémant to Luxembourgish teachers, who had what seems to us like a very swanky Good Week. And Dominic awards Bad Week to Eurovision, which seems to be crumbling whilst Russia's Intervision is back and creepier than ever. Mentioned in this episode:  The European Sentiment Compass 2025 from ECF and ECFR, “Reality show: Why Europe must not cave in Trump's culture war” culture war” Europeans jingles composer Jim Barne's Broadway(!) musical, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) This live blog from Czech Radio's Zlín service that tracked the movements of Emil the Elk all summer  This week's Inspiration Station recommendations are Twelve Months of Monastery Soups, a cookbook by Brother Victor-Antoine d'Avila-Latourrette, and Rejected: Designs for the European Flag by Jonas von Lenthe.   This podcast was brought to you in cooperation with Euranet Plus, the leading radio network for EU news.

How does a country of 10 million people dominate the global pop charts? 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.

The remarks come after pressure from the administration led ABC to suspend late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel. Mr Kimmel made comments about the Charlie Kirk murder suspect, saying Trump supporters had tried to "characterise this kid as anything other than one of them".Also, we speak to Omar Barghouti who co-founded the worldwide movement to isolate Israel, through boycott, sanctions and divestment; and we head to Moscow to meet some of the musicians competing in Intervision, the Kremlin's counterpoint to Eurovision.(Photo: President Donald Trump speaks to reporters aboard Air Force One on his return from a state visit in Britain, 18 September, 2025.

Tommy & Ben dig into the FBI's raid on John Bolton and how Pete Hegseth's firing of the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency fits into Trump's ongoing ideological purges of the US intelligence community. They discuss Israel's criminal “double tap” strike on Gaza's Nasser Hospital, The Free Press's sanctimonious reaction to criticism of their reporting about starvation in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's constant moving of the goalposts on a ceasefire deal, why Trump's meeting South Korean president Lee Jae Myung was humiliating for America, Trump's lies and delusions about being a peacemaker, the latest on Iran negotiations, why Australia expelled Iranian diplomats, and Putin's answer to Eurovision. Then, Tommy speaks with Franklin Nossiter, Sahel Analyst at the International Crisis Group, about the complex dynamics in a region where military juntas, jihadists, and foreign powers are all jostling for influence.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
