In case you missed it: 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. 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.

Sarah Engels, Germany's Eurovision 2026 singer, joined us for an on-stage interview in English during the Eurofan House x Wiwibloggs event in Vienna. The "Fire" hitmakers discusses how much international support has meant to her...particularly in the face of fierce criticism in Germany. Speaking to our William Lee Adams, she talks about the main changes in her stage show, how family grounds her, the lessons she has learned as a reality star and tabloid favourite, and how she identifies with Satine in Moulin Rouge — a character she's portraying on theatre stages in Germany. She also has a bit of fun with her English, and turns to the many Germans in the audience to translate.

I'm Cheryl Lee, and I'm joined by the unstoppable Jessica Mauboy as she counts down to her very first Mundi Mundi Bash, picturing the outback landscape, the community vibe, and the creative challenge of building a show worthy of a lineup packed with talent. We also have a laugh about the road-trip reality of it all, because festivals aren't just music, they're people, costumes, and long days under big skies.From there, we rewind to the early turning points that shaped her career. Jessica talks about auditioning for Australian Idol as a teen, getting told she was too young, and coming back with her family's belief pushing her forward. We dig into what changes when you go from being judged to doing the judging on The Voice Australia, and how confidence gets built one brave decision at a time. If you care about the behind-the-scenes reality of the music industry, this part lands hard because it's honest and specific.We also go deeper on identity and ownership: Eurovision, representing Australia, and the pride of carrying culture, community, and responsibility onto an international stage. Jessica opens up about launching her independent space Jamally after years with a major label, plus the vulnerability of songwriting, including the quiet moment of asking her mom's permission before writing “Little Things.” We wrap with a beautiful reflection on motherhood and why surrendering to constant change might be the most practical creative lesson there is.If you loved this conversation, subscribe to Still Rockin' It, share it with a friend who needs a push, and leave a review so more people can find these Aussie music stories.What is Jessica Mauboy up to at the moment?  Let's find out!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit:  ThatRadioChick.com.au

⚡️ LA DERNIÈRE DE 12 POINTS (PARTIE 2) : L'EGO-BOOSTER ET LES LARMES DU FINAL ! ⚡️Après l'explosion d'émotions du début, place à la suite et fin de cet ultime rendez-vous en public à la Brasserie REVA. Sortez définitivement les mouchoirs, car l'équipe ne retient plus ses larmes (et les verres de Campari Spritz continuent de se vider à la perfection).Dans cette seconde partie, Agathe prend enfin les commandes pour sa toute dernière chronique avec un concept redoutable : donner la parole à une dizaine d'auditeurs et d'auditrices historiques pour dresser le bilan ultime de l'équipe.Au programme de ce grand final :La séquence "Ego Booster" : Les vocaux bouleversants et hilarants de Damien de Lorient, Dani, Sandrine, Mathieu de Rennes, Martial ou encore Hélène. L'occasion pour la communauté de rappeler pourquoi ils aiment tant le côté "vieille tata bourrée" de Vincent , les analyses géopolitiques pointues de Quentin sur le folklore yougoslave , le calme olympien de Thomas (qui n'est « pas dégueulasse physiquement ») et le statut de sainte « patronne hétéro » d'Agathe dans ce monde si gay de l'Eurovision.Le procès de la mauvaise foi : Les auditeurs balancent sans filtre sur le plus gros défaut du groupe — leur mauvaise foi légendaire — mais saluent leur travail acharné pour potasser les sujets à chaque saison. Le pire des défauts retenu ? Qu'ils décident d'arrêter le podcast.Souvenirs cultes et nostalgie : Des vacances mémorables dans la Loire avec le podcast en bande-son jusqu'à la mythique table ronde technique avec Benjamin, l'ingénieur de l'UER. Vincent partage aussi une anecdote vintage de 2019 en Israël, avec Thomas perdu sur son tapis persan Ikea pendant une coupure pub.L'invité surprise au micro : Benjamin Illy, grand reporter (de guerre... et d'Eurovision !) à France Info, monte sur scène. Il raconte comment il a découvert l'équipe sur Spotify pour réviser ses sujets et balance sur les coulisses de la salle de presse de Malmö , devenue un joyeux bordel grâce au lobby des bières de la table française.Les mots du cœur : Pour clore l'aventure, Agathe livre une déclaration d'amour d'une sincérité absolue à ses trois acolytes , remerciant Thomas d'être celui qui s'est toujours battu pour porter le projet à bout de bras. Entre deux confessions poignantes sur l'amitié, l'acceptation de soi et le besoin de plaire, Thomas conclut sur la plus grande réussite de ces 5 années : l'amitié indéfectible qui s'est soudée entre eux.Une conclusion mémorable, pleine de rires, de bières tièdes, de punchlines sur l'intelligence artificielle et de déclarations d'amitié indélébiles.L'heure est grave, c'est la fin du voyage. Merci pour les 12 points, merci pour tout, et pour la dernière fois : cliquez, écoutez et vibrez avec la bande !

The afternoon after Moldova qualified from Semi-Final 1 of Eurovision 2026, Satoshi joined us for an on-stage interview at the Eurofan House x Wiwibloggs. Satoshi discusses how he loved feeling the live energy on stage and why he chose the shaky camera movements. Aliona Moon tells us the back story of bringing her Eurovision 2013 dress back for this performance — and where she's stored it all of these years. And Lana tells us what it's like being such an incredible dancer and hype girl while also singing. 

Greece's Eurovision 2026 singer Akylas joins us for an on-stage interview at the Eurofan House x Wiwibloggs event inside the Wien Museum in Vienna. The "Ferto" singer attended the afternoon after qualifying from Semi-Final 1. He was so excited that he had advanced that he pulled a back muscle and woke up in severe pain. But he persevered, coming to our event to discuss being a favourite to win, his symbolic staging, his former life working in hospitality and performing on cruise ships, his mother's sacrifices, and how his song reflects the deprivation endured by a generation. 

According to Dagospia, the Sanremo Festival 2027 may replace covers night with a special Eurovision night to decide Italy's Eurovision act. As you'll know, the fourth evening of Sanremo — the Friday — is traditionally known as Covers Night. The winner of the overall festival is determined on the fifth night — the Saturday — and given the right to go to Eurovision. But record labels and FIMI (the Federation of the Italian Music Industry) reportedly want to separate winning the festival from going to Eurovision. Instead, they want two winners: A winner from Eurovision night who goes to Eurovision, and an overall winner of the festival. The goal is to give artists two chances at victory, thereby enticing more well-established acts to compete. Dagospia also reports that there is pressure to create an “Academy” that would judge the competition. Doing this would reduce the number of journalists and experts who currently help decide the outcome. We react to the news and discuss. The Sanremo 2027 dates have been confirmed as February 16 to February 20. #Eurovision #Sanremo2027 #Eurovision 2027

Veronica Fusaro, Switzerland's Eurovision 2026 singer, gave an on-stage interview to our William Lee Adams during the Eurofan House x Wiwibloggs event inside the Wien Museum in Vienna. The "Alice" singer discusses her background as a classic guitarist and how she moved on to the electronic guitar and ultimately rock. She also explains the songwriting process behind "Alice," which shines a light on gender-based violence. Staging a song with such a serious message is incredibly difficult. She explains the thought and care that went into it and discusses what we saw during her first rehearsal at Eurovision.

Some songs don't just define a decade — they instantly improve your mood the second they begin playing. Few tracks from the MTV era carry that kind of joyful energy quite like Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves. This week on the Stuck in the '80s Podcast, Steve sits down with frontwoman Katrina Leskanich for a lively conversation about music, touring and the remarkable twists and turns of her career. The episode begins with Katrina reflecting on her experiences aboard The 80s Cruise, where she not only performed for fans of the MTV generation but also hosted one of the ship's beloved trivia competitions. Spearsy and Katrina discuss the uniquely emotional atmosphere of the cruise, where artists and fans reconnect through the shared soundtrack of their youth. Along the way, Katrina revisits the creation of Walking on Sunshine and reflects on recording with legendary producer Scott Litt at the famous Power Station studio in New York. The conversation explores how the band evolved from London's gritty club scene into international pop success during the height of the MTV era. Katrina also discusses the dramatic transition from struggling musician to major-label artist after signing with Capitol Records and the strange realities of navigating the music industry during the 1980s. Like many artists from the era, she experienced both the excitement and pressure of sudden mainstream success. The interview also revisits Katrina's surprising second chapter as a Eurovision champion after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1997 with Love Shine a Light — a career milestone that helped launch her solo career and introduced her music to an entirely new international audience. Toward the end of the episode, Spearsy and Katrina discuss her upcoming appearances on the Lost 80's Live tour and why audiences continue responding so emotionally to the music of the 1980s. Like many great Stuck in the '80s interviews, the conversation becomes less about nostalgia itself and more about the joy, connection and shared memories these songs continue creating decades later. If you love new wave, MTV nostalgia, unforgettable one-hit wonders that deserved to be much bigger and behind-the-scenes stories from one of the most uplifting voices of the decade, this episode belongs in your playlist. The Stuck in the '80s Podcast has spent nearly 20 years celebrating the music, movies, television and pop culture of the greatest decade ever. Support the show on Patreon for bonus episodes, exclusive livestream hangouts, behind-the-scenes content and merch for longtime listeners.

Tommy and Ben dig into a week dominated by ominous signs of regime change, nuclear standoffs, and a “historic” summit that left almost everyone disappointed.First they cover the signs pointing to American intervention in Cuba, including reports of Cuban drones, a possible indictment of 94-year-old Raúl Castro, a visit by CIA director John Ratcliffe, and a full blockade that has left the island in a state of humanitarian catastrophe. Then they look to Bolivia, where supporters of former President Evo Morales have blockaded roads and clashes with police are escalating. When it comes to the war in Iran, the global economy remains paralyzed by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, while Trump vacillates on whether to restart the war or engage in real talks. The guys also recap Trump's China trip, which turned out to be a dud by almost every measure — no trade deal, no help on Iran, and some deeply alarming comments about Taiwan. And finally, Tommy and Ben are subjected to the sounds of Eurovision. Then Tommy is joined by Pod Save the UK host Nish Kumar to discuss the fate of Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour Party, and the troubling rise of the right-wing Reform UK party. Check out Nish's special, Don't Kill My Vibe.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

Eurovision's 70th contest in Vienna is overshadowed by a multi-country boycott that has Donny fired up. Cruise lines are posting record bookings despite health scares. The Beatles are turning their iconic London rooftop into a fan museum.
