Eurovision Insight Presents… Eurovision Uncovered: The Ticking Clock Written by on November 12, 2025

Eurovision Uncovered continues as James Stephenson puts the spotlight on the competing artists – and asks whether the Song Contest is putting them under too much pressure.

Eurovision Uncovered continues this week with a look at what it takes to perform on the world’s biggest stage – under pressure.

In Episode 2, host James Stephenson explores just how stressful the Song Contest can be for our favourite Eurovision acts. Looking back at a conversation with Ziferblat the day after their dramatic semi-final qualification, James analyses the pressures weighing down on artists, considers how much impact Eurovision’s brand-new Code of Conduct has made to their experience, and asks delegation members and community media journalists whether we can do more for the artists who put in months of intense work for just three minutes in the spotlight.
