Eurovision Insight Podcast… Introducing ‘Inside The Model’ Written by on March 15, 2026

Designed by James Stephenson, and now on ESC Insight, ‘The Model’ has returned to forecast the Eurovision Song Contest 2026. Add the RSS Feed to your favourite podcast application, or click here to follow us in iTunes and never miss an episode.

“Who would win the Eurovision Song Contest if it were held today?”

That’s the question that ‘The Model’ looks to answer.  It turns opinions into data in the lead-up to the Contest, creating weekly updates on how the race to Vienna is shaping up. The tool has been more successful at predicting the Contest than betting odds, fan polls, or any other indicators.

It constantly changes, so each week we not only bring you the results but also a new companion podcast, ‘Inside The Model,’ providing weekly prediction updates, unique song analysis, and special guest appearances from the world of the Contest.

Listen to ‘Inside The Model‘ here on ESC Insight on your preferred podcast platform of choice. Follow the show on iTunes,Spotify, or in your favourite podcast app listed here. A direct RSS feed is available.
