Send us a textGuess who's back in the Eurovision hot seat? After equipment delays and mental cobwebs, your favourite straight-talking podcast host returns to dissect Eurovision 2025 in all its controversial glory.Eurovision 2025 might not have delivered the strongest musical offerings, but it certainly provided enough drama, debates, and dance battles to keep fans entertained long after the confetti settled. The standout moment? That unexpected lyrical face-off between Baby Lasagna and Käärijä during what was supposed to be a simple interval act. When these two Eurovision icons hit the stage together, not a single viewer could resist squealing with delight. This "Eurodab" battle proved that while winning the trophy matters, sometimes winning the hearts of Eurovision fans is the real victory.Behind the sequins and key changes, this year's contest revealed fascinating cultural fault lines. Finland and Malta's performances highlighted what appears to be "the final taboo" – women's sexuality – triggering global conversations about representation and acceptance. Meanwhile, the enhanced anti-booing technology sparked debates about authenticity versus production values in broadcasting. Is it censorship or simply good television production? We'll unpack these questions and more in upcoming episodes, including a deep dive into the annual voting "controversies" that never seem to surprise yet always manage to inflame the Eurovision community.The podcast takes an unexpected but welcome turn when addressing post-Eurovision depression, offering practical mental health advice and emergency self-care tips (paper plates, anyone?). Whether you're suffering from Eurovision withdrawal or depression, remember that reaching out for professional help isn't weakness – it's winning at life. Subscribe now for our upcoming episodes featuring special guests, including the "continuously shirtless" Sam Tarling and various Eurovision personalities. Until then, take comfort knowing Austria awaits us in 2026!Support the show#eurovision

JJ, Österreichs Song-Contest-Gewinner, wünscht sich laut einem spanischen Zeitungsbericht, dass der Eurovision Song Contest nächstes Jahr in Wien stattfindet, aber ohne Israel. Diese Forderung löst bei Veranstaltern und in der Politik große Konsternation aus. Trotz dieser Peinlichkeit freuen sich die Menschen in Österreich aber weiterhin über den Sieg im europäischen Liederwettbewerb.

In this week's episode, Patrick and Tommie discuss murder mystery events, meet the Indian Spitz, remember gay activist Frank Kameny on his birthday, say, "Bye, Bye, Charles Strouse," enjoy one last beer with George "Norm" Wendt, Tommy talks everything Gypsy, they salute Clara Barton, learn the obvious about breakfast cereals, get the latest measles update, watch President Trump defy court orders, get the truth about South Africa, Patrick reviews a little known provision of Trump's "big beautiful bill," they review a Netflix docuseries about a married British couple who were also killers, listen to the Eurovision Song Contest winner, name their five favorite fictional nurses, and debate school taxes and the state of education.

Allison Kaplan Sommer and Noah Efron talk about (1) Prime Minister Netanyahu's decision to reinstate the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza: why did this happen now and why the hell did it not happen before; and (2) What we learn (if anything) from the fact that Israel won the popular vote in this week's Eurovision Song Contest, and what we learn (if anything) from the fact that Israel came in 15th (!) in the contest's professional “jury” vote, and what we learn (if anything) from juxtaposing the two votes. All this and the sixtieth anniversary of the execution-by-hanging of Eli Cohen, “our man in Damascus”.  Plus, more music of these times. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Yair Golan, head of the “Democrats Party” (what used to be Labor and Meretz), says that Israel “wages war against civilians” and “kills babies for a hobby”. Well, what can you say to that?

Am Sonntag hat Johannes "JJ" Pietsch für Österreich den Eurovision Song Contest gewonnen. Jetzt ist der 24-jährige Countertenor mit politischen Themen in den Medien. In der spanischen Zeitung El País fordert er für kommendes Jahr einen Ausschluss Israels aus dem Bewerb. Eine Forderung, die bereits mehrere Teilnehmer geäußert haben. Wie die Reaktionen auf die Aussagen sind und ob die Forderung gerechtfertigt ist, erklärt Stefan Weiss, Leiter des Kulturressorts beim STANDARD. Militärexperte Gerald Karner analysiert im Anschluss die militärische Lage im Nahen Osten.

Tommy and Ben discuss President Trump's policy changes on Syria and his man-crush on its president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, what lifting sanctions on Syria could (and should) look like, more details on how Qatar's plane bribe came together, and Tulsi Gabbard's shocking politicization of the intelligence community. They also talk about the continuing crackdown on journalists and human rights activists by Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, the dire–and indefensible–humanitarian situation in Gaza, the lack of any meaningful progress in peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and elections in Portugal, Romania and Poland. Then, Ben speaks with Dr. Feroze Sidwha, a trauma surgeon who has volunteered twice in Gaza, about his experience treating patients in Khan Younis. Finally, Ben and Tommy are forced to endure some selections from this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

Buckle up for this one. This week we continue to bring you the best of the news cycle from the political to the personal. So is Joe Biden finally telling the truth? We believe he might. A cancer diagnosis is announced just as a damning book comes out about the former president. The establishment consensus is that he withheld the diagnosis until after the election. However we have investigated the announcement and our conclusions may surprise you.And how the biggest crime in UK history led to the biggest cover up in UK history. We have done a lot of work about the UK grooming gangs and this week we are going to interview a survivor. You will hear how the UK police and authorities refused to investigate these Muslim gangs for fear of being called racist.And finally the Eurovision Song Contest delivered a disappointing result for all the Queers for Palestine and River to the Sea apologists but for all men and women of goodwill it was a wonderful, hope-filled triumph of the human spirit … you have to hear this story. And, listen to Israeli singer, Yuval Raphael in her song of hope that won second place. And a new twist on the Comey shell shocker, how his “discovery” of an anti-Trump message on the beach ended in merciless memery via the peanut gallery on X. And where in the world are Ann's air pods?

There's a distinct European flavour to this week's episode and we kick off with our reaction to the UK/EU deal struck on Monday.Has the Scottish fishing industry, once again, been a bargaining chip worth sacrificing to benefit other parts of the UK economy? Given that fishing and farming are devolved matters why wasn't the Scottish government either involved or at the very least consulted on the agreements reached in these areas? Despite the trumpeting of the deal will it always be a sticking plaster over the economic wounds of Brexit?Saturday saw the latest edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. Lesley has always been a massive fan of the event, Pat not so much,  what are her reactions to the inclusion of Israel, the behaviour of the EBU and host broadcaster in apparently censoring the live audience during the Israeli performance, and the claims of massive state intervention in order for Israel to stage a propaganda coup?The British Museum hosted a secret celebration of Israel "Independence" Day. Much of the focus has been on the appearance at it by comedian Jimmy Carr but should more have been made of the speech given by UK Minister for Defence Procurement and Industry, Maria Eagle , on the day that the Labour government was in court defending itself against claims that it had continued to supply Israel with F35 aircraft parts in breach of its own sanctions?ScotLand( sic) Futures led by the Scottish Land Commission has called for individuals, community groups, land managers, businesses and organisations to "help shape a shared vision for how Scotland's land is owned, used and managed". Lesley asks if we need less "consultation" and more genuine action?As we recorded last week's episode the result of the vote at Stage One of The Assisted Dying Bill vote at Holyrood was unknown. The vote was in favour. What happens next?Andrew Tickell article - https://www.thenational.scot/politics/25171496.assisted-dying-debate-deserves-better-bad-faith-politics/We also look at the election of the new Pope and Pat revels in the prospect of a European tour with his beloved Dundee United.

Zu Beginn geht's um Österreichs Gewinn beim Eurovision Songcontest mit JJ und Wasted Love. Dann wird's wie ein Spritzer an einem zu heißen Tag, nur mit mehr irrationalem Hass. Ich rede über Madini - ein burgenländisches Getränk, das mich gleichermaßen fasziniert und traumatisiert -, über Leute, die Hörbücher „lesen“, und über Serien, die plötzlich in Spielfilmlänge ausarten. Außerdem: ein kurzer Ausflug in meine Beziehung zu negativen Kommentaren im Netz und warum es manchmal gut tut, einfach nicht Beyoncé zu sein.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Legal reporter Jeremy Sharon and news editor Amy Spiro join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Yesterday, the United Nations-linked Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) organization said in a “Special Snapshot” briefing that “the Gaza Strip is still confronted with a critical risk of famine,” and that “the entire population is facing high levels of acute food insecurity, with half a million people [one in five] facing starvation.” Israel has accused IPC of a “lack of transparency” with regards to the source of its data, and it said the IPC’s Special Snapshot failed to take into account “the massive volume of aid, especially food, that entered Gaza during the ceasefire.” Sharon weighs in.

Luke Black is a Serbian singer-songwriter who represented his country at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2023, the world's largest live music event, with an audience of over 160 million. Performing his song Samo Mi Se Spava, his set and choreography, with its special effect giant robot, were inspired by the video games he loves. Now based in London, he is redeveloping those ideas from video games and hero films to create a new collection of songs. He tells the BBC's Andrea Kidd why he is going darker with these new songs and how the recent student protests in Serbia have inspired him to write an unusually lyrical ballad. He also talks about his experiences at the Eurovision Song Contest and readjusting to life and work afterwards.

A lot of Americans only know Eurovision via Will Farrell's film, “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga,” which capture some of Eurovision's over-the-top aspects,  but the history of the annual event actually shines light on some of the biggest cultural, social and political developments in post-World War II European history. In this episode, Paul Jordan, aka Dr. Eurovision, joins Ben and special guest cohost/his wife Kelly Kolar for a conversation about Eurovision's origins, how it's been shaped by geopolitics, and, of course, who their favorites are in this year's contest, which airs live on May 17 at 3pm est.   Dr. Paul Jordan is an expert and media commentator on the Eurovision song contest and the author of The Modern Fairy Tale: Nation Branding, national identity and the Eurovision Song Contest in Estonia. From 2015 to 2018 he served on Eurovision's communication team. You can learn more about him at DrEurovision.com.   This episode was edited by Ben Sawyer.
