Our final guest to the beautiful Île de Bezençon from the 2018 season is Mr Eurovision Apocalypse himself, Roy Delaney. We take a surprising and enlightening tour through his personal history with Eurovision, from Kathy Kirby to the live-streamed Moldovan national final auditions via brush with the Eurovision stage in Stockholm.
Eurovision Insight Podcast: Eurovision Castaways Live, with Roy Delaney
Recorded live at Euro Fan Cafe in Lisbon, Roy Delaney chooses his eight records to take, Ellie Chalkley is operating the customs desk and needs justification, and everyone just about maintains order throughout.
And if you want to attend a live Castaways recording, check out Ne Party Pas Sans Moi in Glasgow on January 25th. More details at ne-party-pas.com.

Listening to Roy and reading his blog is always a pleasure. You actually know he loves the contest and know the rich history it has.
Finland 1977 – An ace of a song and as Ewan pointed to me once it may not have won on the night but it became an all time favourite Finish Eurovision song.
Israel 2000 – A nice anecdote but never the less, one of the worse Israeli entry of all time.
Serbia & Montenegro 2005 – Roy is not alone on this. It’s a great song, still on my play list after all those years.
P.s.
Happy New Year to everyone at ESCinsight 😁
so pleased that Sweden 1968 is on this. I saw it just a few months before I head this podcast on Ewans evey Eurovision song thread – and I loved it – found the English version – brilliant lyrics – and downloaded it….
More guests like Roy please (but I have said that elsewhere too…)
Thanks team
