Ewan Spence sits down with Eurovision Reference Group chairman Bakel Walden to look forward to Basel 2025 and look back at Malmö 2024 and one of the most controversial seasons in the Contest’s long and storied history in the latest Chat Over Coffee interview podcast.
In this episode of Eurovision Wars, we discuss ‘October Rain’ and ‘Hurricane’ from Israeli singer Eden Golan, and ‘Wild West/Vestrið villt’ from Palestinian singer Bashar Murad. What viewpoints did they represent, how did the community and the organisers react to these songs, and why do many consider them political songs?
What is Pan-Arcticvision, what can we expect to see, can we vote? Those questions and more are asked by Phil Dore, as he sits down with artistic director Amund Sjølie Sveen ahead of this weekend’s Contest.
What happens when you look beyond a winning song at the Contest? Join David Horton as he highlights some of the best music from our legends as ESC Insight presents the Eurovision Masterpiece Collection.
The music of Eurovision is more than the Song Contest. Jamie Halliwell takes us on a journey through his Eurovision music collection.
Malmö 2024 was arguably the most controversial season in the Song Contest’s history. Join Phil Doré and Ana Oppenheim as we open the third season of Eurovision Wars by exploring the politics and the backstage rows over Israel’s participation during the ongoing war in Gaza.
