Eurovision Insight Podcast: Our Final News From Basel, Sunday 18th May Written by on May 18, 2025

That, as they say, is a wrap. Basel 2025 over. Let’s close it out with one last podcast from the 69th Eurovision Song Contest.

It’s not really over, we’ve lots to talk about over the summer, but in a way it really is over. The curtain has come down, JJ lifts the trophy, and has already asked to host the 70th Anniversary Eurovision. Before we leave the Press Centre, the Insight team and some friends of the parish have some quick thoughts on the Grand Final, our highlights in Basel, and what might happen next.
