Eurovision Insight Podcast: Game On, Ikea! Written by on September 13, 2012

The deadline has passed, so any new music now could be an entry into the 58th Eurovision Song Contest. Although as you’ll hear in the latest ESC Insight podcast, that doesn’t that mean that every new song deserves to go to Sweden.

But every song is special to somebody, every song can stir the heart, and every song is the best efforts, hopes, and dreams of somebody.

And those dreams are all over Europe, getting ready to submit their songs to broadcasters across the continent, ready to start the long trip that will result in thousands of failures, leaving us with just one song standing as the moon rises over Malmo on May 18th 2013.
