The Eurovision Song Contest cannot help but be a lens on society, and none more so when issues of war, dissent, and politics come to the fore. In 2022, Eurovision Wars was a Spotify exclusive; 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.
