It’s time to go Inside The Model
James Stephenson presents a brand-new podcast that analyses who might win the Eurovision Song Contest in a brand-new way. With the help of The Model, James’s prediction tool for the Contest, he’ll take a look at how the race to Vienna is shaping up with weekly updates on the favourites, unique analysis of this year’s songs, and special guest appearances.
On this episode, James is joined by ESC Insight’s own Ben Robertson for in depth analysis of what Eurovision 2026 could bring. They chat about the running orders for each semi-final, which were revealed on Thursday, and why and how the running order can impact a Eurovision Song Contest entry. They’ll also discuss this year’s rule changes, including the expansion of the international juries, and consider whether a step change is coming to the Contest.
You can listen to Inside The Model on the ESC Insight podcast now, with weekly episodes every Monday that pull you deeper into the data.
