    Hi Guys, love the cracking opening podcast.

    But i hope someone is going to pick on Ewan for the mistake he made on live radio at juniors last year, with Bulgaria not going to the adult contest…. and guess who is at the contest this year, Bulgaria (with Poli singing. none the less).

    So can one of the Guys or Girls who was on the ground in Sofia for juniors please poke fun at Ewan for the fo parfor me, while you are on the ground at Stockholm (Im looking at the likes of Sam, Ben, John ect for this one lol).

  2. Nice start guys – if they are all this long though, you are going to take up a lot of my next two weeks!

    Judging by how close it’s going to be, I’d be going for #Interesting…

    And not in a Steve Davis kind of way!

    Wondrous to have Eurovision’s greatest commentator Sam back – a great Jewish gag and a lovely touch of humility in the opening couple of remarks before pronunciations of seemingly simple names like “Maraaya” and “Ray” that received audible appreciation of delight from me. A fellow Sam fan also pointed me to the wondrous “Festival I “cunjes”” moment. Aside from Sam, Sam and more Sam, I’m also eagerly awaiting the “Keith v Benny on Serbia” moment of the season.

    Awww, thanks, Nicky! (And I’m sure my mother thanks you, too!) Keith’s not going to be around, and Benny will be joining us in week 2, so we’ll just have to create some drama on our own!
