It's Pride Month and it simply wouldn't do to not honor the many trailblazing queer artists and their allies that helped push Eurovision forward to greater inclusion and acceptance. We're joined by the UK's own Eurovision superfan and international drag queen, Kiki Babs, to talk about several iconic moments in the Contest's LGBTQI+ history that deserve a little more time in the spotlight. Jeremy appreciates a little intersectionality, Dimitry reveals you don't have to like a song to be an ally, and Kiki wants to be part of that world. Follow Kiki Babs and Candy Venom on Instagram.

Another Grand Final has come and gone, and hoo boy, what a year for Eurovision! A new winner, a first-time winning country, drama, intrigue, hot mic moments - everything a fan could want out of a Grand Final. While we've got more opinions to come next week in our yearly Eurovangies awards, this week we've got our immediate thoughts about the contest. Jeremy mourns for his beloved Sam, Dimitry's pleased to Australia return to what they do best, and Oscar says Biiiiiiitch!

It's nearly time for the Grand Final, and whether you're watching or not this year, we wanted to celebrate songs that conjure up the feeling of pan-European unity and joy that Eurovision truly represents. Inspired by a listener postcard, we go through a playlist of songs that have something to say about the world, or about Eurovision itself. Jeremy's a man in a hamster wheel, Dimitry risks it all to give Portugal douze points, and Oscar picks a song because he feels good.

Eurovision season wouldn't feel complete without a visit from Tobias Larsson, Eurovision fan & historian, to tell us the backstory of another ESC luminary. This time it's Udo Jürgens, the man who gave Austria their first win and sold over a hundred million records worldwide. It's a fun look at one of the most successful singers & songwriters in ESC history, and we're glad to celebrate Udo just before the contest returns to Vienna for Eurovision 2026 60 years after his win. Jeremy's mixing gin & rum, Dimitry thanks the jury, and Tobias is sticking with some Greek wine.

While we're not doing as much predicting this year, you better believe we've got opinions about our favorites, so we're welcoming back pop music expert Dave Holmes of International Waters to take a look at what we're liking in 2026.

Hey Eurovision fans: we're in the middle of the MaxFunDrive, Maximum Fun's annual fundraising drive to keep the lights on and help support our show. We've got a taste of our episode with film critic Alonso Duralde of Maximum Film watching an absolutely terrible VHS version of an arguably worse musical, Cliff Richard's Heathcliff. We didn't like it, but we did like talking about it. Take a listen to part of the ep, and if you'd like to hear the rest, click the link below and become a member!

With five more national finals, we've made it to the end of the super Saturdays until 2027, but not without first covering Romania's Selecția Națională, the San Marino Song Contest, Poland's Krajowych Kwalifikacji, Sweden's Melodifestivalen, and Portugal's Festival da Canção. And our beloved Oscar is across the pond this week, so we're instead joined by our Eurovision-obsessed neighbor to the north, Worldvishawn, to talk about what we liked and what we didn't. Jeremy doesn't think one song is all that Bellissima, Shawn finds Portugal to be just a little too chill, and Dimitry revels in the madness that is San Marino.

With the release of some great collabs between some of this year's (and past year's) Eurovision faves, it's time to take a look at a whole bunch of recent songs by pairs of ESC artists. They might be from the same country, they might be from the same year, or they might have even collaborated before their dreams of holding the glass trophy had even entered their minds, but all the songs are good fun and a good excuse to check in with some favorite artists. Jeremy needs some high-speed kissing, Dimitry experiences an awakening of his appetite, and Oscar wants to take you for a ride.Watch this week's selections on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNRTEJYCXGM&list=PLd2EbKTi9fyXUVog4esKS8i77l9zXp3I1&pp=gAQBThis week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3nA9KxIkUJ3Uw79q2BnlLc The Eurovangelists are Jeremy Bent, Oscar Montoya and Dimitry Pompée.The theme was arranged and recorded by Cody McCorry and Faye Fadem, and the logo was designed by Tom Deja.Production support for this show was provided by the Maximum Fun network.The show is edited by Jeremy Bent with audio mixing help was courtesy of Shane O'Connell.Find Eurovangelists on social media as @eurovangelists on Instagram and @eurovangelists.com on Bluesky, or send us an email at eurovangelists@gmail.com.

In honor of our Silver Signal Award, we're bringing back Silver Medal Superstars, a tribute to all the great second place entries in Eurovision that don't get nearly as much love as the winners. For this look back, we're joined by Eurovangelists fan and DJ Cecily Herzig of Connections with Cecily, a great music show on Royalton Community Radio in Vermont. Jeremy's finding the New Seekers everywhere he looks, Dimitry gives his Bettan history lecture, Cecily dreams of pop girlie babushki, and Oscar proves his unspoken bond with Cecily.Learn more about Cecily and her radio show, and listen to the most recent episode: https://www.royaltonradio.org/meet-cecily-herzig/Watch all the Silver Medal Superstars from this week on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd2EbKTi9fyVPxA2wWaA7bnyWjJ0YGuFtThis week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/34BcnN3FdWpaXfDBpSLLSx The Eurovangelists are Jeremy Bent, Oscar Montoya and Dimitry Pompée.The theme was arranged and recorded by Cody McCorry and Faye Fadem, and the logo was designed by Tom Deja.Production support for this show was provided by the Maximum Fun network.The show is edited by Jeremy Bent with audio mixing help was courtesy of Shane O'Connell.Find Eurovangelists on social media as @eurovangelists on Instagram and @eurovangelists.com on Bluesky, or send us an email at eurovangelists@gmail.com.

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!

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.

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. OGAE Ireland's president Frank joins us for a very fun deep dive into the doc.Watch (please) Daz's Eurovision here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uko7Rfgu4XwThis week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1pbE4upeQ6cJnnLiLcuva3 The Eurovangelists are Jeremy Bent, Oscar Montoya and Dimitry Pompée.The theme was arranged and recorded by Cody McCorry and Faye Fadem, and the logo was designed by Tom Deja.Production support for this show was provided by the Maximum Fun network.The show is edited by Jeremy Bent with audio mixing help was courtesy of Shane O'Connell.Find Eurovangelists on social media as @eurovangelists on Instagram and @eurovangelists.com on Bluesky, or send us an email at eurovangelists@gmail.com.

It's been almost a year since we devoted an episode to listener questions, so we're diving into our stack of postcards and answering questions of all kinds. We talk about Eurovision-related media, Eurovision-related SOCIAL media, and who will be the first to win out of the Iceland/Malta/San Marino trifecta of small but mighty nations. Jeremy defends Arcade but has to be true to his Soldi, Dimitry once more goes to bat as Ballad Guy, and Oscar can barely work his computer.Vote for us in the Signal Award's Listener's Choice: https://vote.signalaward.com/PublicVoting#/2025/shows/genre/musicOur How Did This Not Qualify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2DC3am05GWWrNhLrnGjVlTOur Not Good Enough for ESC, But Good Enough for Me 2025 playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3eGz94smJNXQOMNWbvjLkjThis week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5YLN5WtHzLj5yMl5H5ewpD The Eurovangelists are Jeremy Bent, Oscar Montoya and Dimitry Pompée.The theme was arranged and recorded by Cody McCorry and Faye Fadem, and the logo was designed by Tom Deja.Production support for this show was provided by the Maximum Fun network.The show is edited by Jeremy Bent with audio mixing help was courtesy of Shane O'Connell.Find Eurovangelists on social media as @eurovangelists on Instagram and @eurovangelists.com on Bluesky, or send us an email at eurovangelists@gmail.com.

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." We go way back to find the source of the myth, and look at those that fell to the curse as well as those that overcame it.Dimitry's spreadsheet of every Death Slot contestant from 1956 to the present: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/195UrSVGQxLTSqe5UEel6uvSfnV-7h3BZUUcisOYJnl0/edit?gid=0#gid=0Vote for Eurovangelists in the 2025 Signal Awards! https://vote.signalaward.com/PublicVoting#/2025/shows/genre/music Voting ends October 9th!This week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7Ev3VwiMW337sFmK1su5Wy The Eurovangelists are Jeremy Bent, Oscar Montoya and Dimitry Pompée.The theme was arranged and recorded by Cody McCorry and Faye Fadem, and the logo was designed by Tom Deja.Production support for this show was provided by the Maximum Fun network.The show is edited by Jeremy Bent with audio mixing help was courtesy of Shane O'Connell.Find Eurovangelists on social media as @eurovangelists on Instagram and @eurovangelists.com on Bluesky, or send us an email at eurovangelists@gmail.com.
