Eimear Quinn wurde 1995 von Brendan Graham in einer Kirche entdeckt, als sie im Chor Anúna sang. Er bat sie, seinen Song „The Voice“ zu singen, mit dem sie sowohl den Vorentscheid als auch den Eurovision Song Contest 1996 gewann. Anschließend kehrte sie zur mystisch-irischen Klassik zurück. Am 4. Oktober wird sie in der Wiener Stadthalle für die Eurovision Live-Gala der OGAE Austria auftreten. Neben ihr werden auch Adonxs, Paenda, Victor Crone, Chiara, Justs und Jacqline auf der Bühne stehen.Im Interview erzählt Eimear Quinn von der gesellschaftlichen Bedeutung von "The Voice", von ihren Anfängen und ihrer Zeit nach dem Song Contest 1996.

Ihre Veröffentlichungen konzentrierten sich seit dem auf spirituelles und irisches Repertoire, aber auch klassische Stücke. Ihre letzte Veröffentlichung ist das Album "Songs of Winter Dreaming". Sie plant anlässlich des 30-jährigen Siegs eine Special Edition ihres Siegersongs "The Voice", eine Acapella-Version ist schon veröffentlicht. Wer die Veröffentlichungen nicht verpassen möchte, folge ihr auf Instagram .Eimear Quinn beantwortet natürlich auch die Fragen am Schluss: Vom Eurovision Song Contest 2025 ist JJ mit seinem Siegersong "Wasted Love" und Zoë Më mit "Voyage". Ihr Lieblingssong aller Zeiten ist "Soldi" von Mahmood, der 2019 den zweiten Platz belegte.Anschließend plaudern Alkis und Marco über die Zahlen, die zu Wien als Austragungsort führten.In der Kleinen Song Contest Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Marco von der Liebe, die ein Kartenspiel ist.

Well, it's been quite a ride, but all good things, and even all mediocre things, must come to an end. Our four week series on the American Song Contest comes to a close, and it's actually got some decent stuff... and also some regrettable stuff too. But that's the ASC in a nutshell, so we talk ways to improve it if they ever attempt something so fool-hardy again. Jeremy cannot and will not feel the love for an audience plant, Dimitry's still pining for his Alaskan idol, and Oscar gives us the 90s Marvel card system to rank K-pop artists.Watch the finale of the ASC here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_diKd6VmRAWatch AleXa break the trophy here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tTyHuX9tJ3EThis week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ARyAtJVjWI1QAm2390Jio 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.

Eurovision has a brand new logo and branding for 2026 — and song contest Director Martin Green explains what it really means. Eurovision Song Contest Director Martin Green joins us to talk about the contest's new look — and why it's all about evolution, not revolution. In this interview, Martin shares how he sees his role as protecting one of the most celebrated entertainment brands in the world, while also listening to the fan community. He explains why transparency matters, how grassroots fan movements helped shape Eurovision into what it is today, and why he enjoys hearing all the feedback — from the heartfelt to the cheeky. Martin also makes it clear: the new look is not a distraction from controversies, but a way to push the brand forward, strengthen its identity, and safeguard its intellectual property for the future. He also discusses the importance of building trust and keeping an open dialogue with fans, even on difficult issues. What do you think of the new logo and branding?

We finally reach the end of the qualifiers of the American Song Contest, having heard songs from all fifty states, five territories and the District of Columbia, and now it's on to the two weeks of semifinals, where the remaining 22 of the original 56 competitors perform for the 10 spots in the finals. There's also a whole lot more time wasted on weird stuff that feels unnecessary, but that's the ASC, baby!

Ein Land, das noch nie beim Eurovision Song Contest teilgenommen hat, aber eine ESC-Geschichte hat: Schottland wird immer wieder als eigenständiges ESC-Land vorgeschlagen. Quasi ein Scoxit von UK beim Eurovision Song Contest. Aber ist das realistisch? Wie reichhaltig ist die Geschichte Schottlands beim ESC? Und warum ist es falsch, "Great Britain 12 Points" zu sagen? Wir und Ewan Spence von ESC Insight versuchen, Antworten zu geben.Die Geschichte Schottlands ist vielfältig und der Verbleib im Vereinigten Königreich nicht unumstritten. Entsprechend farbenfroh ist auch die Geschichte Schottlands beim Eurovision Song Contest.Ewan Spence, der erste Eurovision-Podcaster der Welt, war in der Episode 06.01 bei Merci, Chérie zu Gast. Der erste Schotte auf der ESC-Bühne war Kenneth McKellar beim Song Contest 1966. Den Song Contest 1972 wollte Monaco nicht übertragen, die BBC sprang ein und der Eurovision Song Contest fand in Edinburgh mit schottischer Beteiligung (allerdings für Monaco) statt. Dazwischen war die kurze "goldene Epoche" Schottlands beim Song Contest: Die Songwriter von "Puppet on A String" und "Congratulations" waren Schotten, die (Co-)Siegerin Lulu ist Schottin. Danach war 15 Jahre Sendepause. Erst mit Rikki 1987 und Scott Fitzgerald 1988 waren wieder Schotten auf der Bühne. Und Scott war der letzte schottische Solist seit dem.Aber dann kam der Song Contest 2020 aus Edinburgh - wenn auch nur fiktiv bei Netflix. Besprochen haben wir den Film in der Episode 02.14 im Corona-Jahr 2020.Mit Ewan Spence spricht Marco nicht nur über den Song Contest, sondern auch über die derzeitige Politik in Schottland und die Auswirkungen des Brexits auf die Musikindustrie und die Wirtschaft UKs.Anschließend plaudern Alkis und Marco über die Spotify-Charts des ESC 2025.In der Kleinen Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Marco von einem ungewöhnlichen Berufswunsch eines ESC-Teilnehmers.

Synopsis After two hijack the control gallery of the and eject the audience into space, and must race to stop them from broadcasting a to 3 trillion viewers. Plot In the year , steps out of cryogenic suspension and onto the stage as the begins in the space station, with the and exiting the at the same time in order to take a reading. As the reading finishes they turn to the stage, notice where they are, and unanimously decide that they're staying to watch the festivities. The opening ceremonies include commercials for the contest's sponsor . , also in the audience, watches the Doctor and Belinda from afar and is delighted to see that the Vindicator is primed, calling it "the final link". Meanwhile married couple and , having arrived late, bicker over their seats being taken by the Doctor and Belinda. A , , storms backstage and seizes control of the production booth along with another Hellion worker, . The pair detain everyone present and swap over the livestream to the recording of the dress rehearsal in order to keep the outside world from realising anything is wrong. However, the Doctor notices that Rylan (who missed the dress) is present on stage but not on the television feed, and begins fiddling with wiring near his seat. As the first song plays, Kid disengages the space station safety protocols and evacuates the air in the main area, sending the vast majority of the audience careening out into space, the Doctor and the TARDIS amongst them. Contestant and her associate are spared when Wynn surreptitiously seals their pod, and Belinda manages to hang on after being thrown against the ceiling of hers, but they are seemingly the only survivors. With the arena "purged", Kid initiates the final phase of his plan, bringing out a device that will generate a . However, since the is still intact, backstage director tries to persuade Wynn that they could still save everyone. Belinda exits the seats and meets up with Cora and Len, who explain to her that the station is in communication lockdown until the scheduled end of the show to prevent manipulation of the betting markets. There's no way for them to call for help. Len finds Hellion script in a nearby terminal and tells Belinda "people say" Hellions have fearsome psychic powers and practise cannibalism, prompting Cora to defend them. As the Doctor freezes in space, an image bursts into his mind: his granddaughter, . She tells him to go back, to find her. He comes to, grabbing a nearby and propelling himself back to the airlock where Mike and Gary let him in and revive him. The trio talk about how everyone is frozen but not dead, and the was increased by the Doctor, so theoretically everyone is still in range of the station. Scanning through a nearby terminal, the Doctor finds out that the hellions are uploading a delta wave to transmit with the song contest, potentially killing all three trillion viewers across the galaxy. Searching for a , they come across a museum dedicated to the song contest's history, complete with holographic . As Kid notices people interfering with the systems he attempts to contact them, speaking with the Doctor, Belinda's group managing to eavesdrop on their exchanges of threats. Cora sees Wynn in the background and reacts, prompting Len to inquire further. Cora confesses that she's a Hellion who cut her own horns off and says that their peaceful planet was destroyed by , makers of PoppyHoney. Kid intends to get revenge on every viewer of the Song Contest, as being complicit in the sponsoring Corporation's crimes. Cora convinces Len to help them stop Kid, but he blames her for lying to him throughout their songwriting partnership and says he will no longer work with her after this crisis is over. The Doctor appears on the bridge and dismantles the delta wave, distracting Kid with a hologram. He then, frustrated with the level of damage Kid wished to inflict on the galaxy - three trillion deaths, injured him repeatedly, using holograms to inflict pain, only stopping when Belinda and Cora entered the production booth. The Doctor puts Gary and Mike to work grabbing everyone suspended in the mavity field using hard light and then utilizing Rylan's cryochamber to safely revive them. As the majority of the attendees filter into the main chamber once more, Rylan explains that the contest is obviously null and void, but there's one contestant left that he wants everyone to hear - Cora. Cora tells everyone that she's a hellion, that the Corporation tried to bury her song and story, and sings for the galaxy. Applause echoes and the crowd is moved to tears. The Doctor and Belinda find the TARDIS in the museum, brought in by contest staff. In their conversation, they mention the earth, prompting the hologram Graham Norton to appear and mention that the earth was destroyed on for unknown reasons, everything used for the song contest were sifted from the wreckage. The pair run back into the TARDIS and with a fully primed Vindicator pilot the TARDIS directly back to when they left. As they do so, however, the chimes, and the TARDIS groans, an explosion rocking the TARDIS doors off their hinges. Mrs Flood is the last of the attendees to be brought back aboard the space station, and immediately is concerned as to whether the Doctor is still around. When she learns that he's gone, she begins to , her double brainstem having frozen, splitting into two, a . The new incarnation identifies herself as , acting dismissive of her earlier incarnation, while Mrs Flood begins to defer to her. Taking the readings of the Vindicator, the new Rani says that she'll bring the Doctor absolute terror, and marches off, her prior self in tow.

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History interviews from the BBC World Service. Our guest is Dr Elizabeth Abbott, writer, historian and author of the book, "Sugar: A Bittersweet History".First, we confront the dark history of sugar. We hear how a researcher in the 1990s uncovered the unethical aspects of Sweden's Vipeholm experiments in the 1940 which led to new recommendations for children to eat sweets just once a week.And, how Mexico, a country which had one of the highest rates of fizzy drink consumption in the world, approved a tax on sugary soft drinks in 2013. Then an event which shaped the second half of the last century - On 14 May 1955, the leader of the Soviet Union and Heads of State from seven European countries met to sign the Warsaw Pact.Plus, the story of how two rival electricity pioneers, Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison brought electricity to the world. Finally, we hear from Finnish singer Marion Rung on winning the 1980 Intervision Song Contest, the USSR's answer to Eurovision.

In 1980, Finnish singer Marion Rung won the Intervision Song Contest. Born in the 1960s, Intervision was the Eastern Bloc's answer to Eurovision. It ran until 1980, although in 2025 Russia's President Vladimir Putin ordered its revival. Finland, which maintained neutrality during the Cold War, was one of the few countries to participate in both competitions. Marion Rung achieved top 10 Eurovision finishes in 1962 and 1973 before winning Intervision. She speaks to Ben Henderson.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Marion Rung performing at the Intervision Song Contest in 1980.
