Eurovision Insight Podcast: Slovakia changes its mind, not Turkey Written by on January 11, 2011

I hope you’ve all enjoyed the little break, because the National Final action starts up again on Friday with the first heats from Finland and Norway. We’ll have the results on next week’s news podcast.

For now, there’s movement from a number of countries as they move the pieces around the chessboard of the Song Contest – some of them already choosing their Knights, others leaving the bishops to be chosen by the public. Oh and Slovakia continue the in-out in-out hokey-cokey!

Eurovision Insight Podcast: Slovakia changes it’s mind, Turkey doesn’t

This weeks news, with Slovakia changing their mind (again), Sweden changing the Melodifestivalen voting rules, Ireland potentially change just the first name, and Turkey definitely not changing their mind. With music from Yuksek Sadakat.
