After a short ‘in real life’ break, it’s time to return to the Île de Bezençon for the next episode in ESC Insight’s summer series. Everyone needs music on holiday, but because of some rather exquisite border rules, guests to the island can only bring eight Eurovision records and a luxury with them… and you need to get them past customs.
Ellie Chalkley is still on border duty as John Paul Lucas remembers Malta, near-death experiences, and the wrong type of Eurovision fan.
Eurovision Insight Podcast: Eurovision Castaways, with John Paul Lucas
The ESC Insight crew continues to travel to Île de Bezençon for the summer with their favourite Eurovision related songs and stories. John Paul Lucas is the next visitor to argue for his musical choices to be allowed across the border.

Great episode – a nice mixture of what many would consider mainstream and the less well known. It’s great to hear someone choose Euphoria and have a reason for doing so…
Welcome back Eurovision Castaways. You had been away so long I was starting to think Nigel Farage had staged a coup on Ile de Bezencon and introduced a tough new immigration policy. Thank you John Paul for introducing me to some songs (Norway 1966, Poland 1995, Israel 1983) that are at least worth a second listen. I’m also intrigued by Belarus 2005.
I had to present a song I liked in German class at school and explain why I’d chosen. I played Justyna. It didn’t go down too well. Happy to find another fan of it!
