Eurovision Insight Podcast: The Grand Final Backstage Interviews From Turin

How does Eurovision compare to the American Song Contest? What is it like to wait 3 years to sing on the stage? How do you prepare a country for three minutes? And how does the picture get from the stage to your screen? Ewan Spence goes backstage for a final round of interviews from some not-so-familiar faces.

With Christer Bjorkman & Ola Melzig (American Song Contest), Gianluca Allaria (for EBU Services), Diodato, and Andrew Cartmell (BBC Head of Delegation).

With the live shows about to start, stay up to date with all the Eurovision discussions by listening to the ESC Insight podcasts. You’ll find the show in iTunes, Google Podcasts, and Spotify. A direct RSS feed is  available. We also have a regular email newsletter which you can sign up to here.

    Fantastic podcast and interviews, Ewan. I agree that the BBC and Sam Ryder played a blinder with the UK entry this year. As for Radio2 always being behind the contest, for all their hours of ‘Eurovision’ content, I’m still waiting to hear a 3 minute version of any of the other country’s songs.

    Will Sharleen be reporting back from her trip to ASC? Following on from the Christer and Ola interview there is so much to talk about.
