Please welcome Phil Dore to the ESC Insight extended universe, as he brings the Eurovision Wars podcast to the feed.
Eurovision Wars is not a new series. During 2022 it was a Spotify exclusive, but we are proud to welcome Phil Dore to the ESC Insight team, and we are delighted to present Eurovision Wars to a wider audience over the next weeks and months.
ESC Insight Presets… Eurovision Wars: Russia vs Ukraine, Part One
This is the first of a three-parter looking at how geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine spilled over into the Eurovision Song Contest. Part 1 runs from 2014 to 2016. Expect to hear about an anthem to genocide, a peace song performed by a hardcore Putin supporter, and of course, a giant hamster wheel.
This episode of Eurovision Wars was originally broadcast in July 2022. It is hosted by Phil Dore, guests with Dr Jamie Halliwell and Julie Hasseris.
