Yes, it’s getting busy! And what helps when it’s busy is the Insight News Podcast. There’s a slight change to the format this year; each week, Ewan Spence will be joined by a guest from the wonderful world of Eurovision to talk over the latest happenings.

In this week’s double-length episode, Dudepoint (dudepoints.fun) joins the podcast to look back at the news from December, national results from Montenegro and Albania, and to look forward to what happens next.
