A special episode from 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 heads to Amsterdam for Eurovision in Concert and previews Eurovision 2026 with the help of three guests already in the Netherlands – GJ Kooijman and Marco Dreijer from Ding-a-Dong, the Dutch Eurovision podcast, and ESC Insight‘s own Sem Anne van Dijk. Filmed at Spraakmaker Media‘s podcast studios in Amsterdam, this conversation dives into our thoughts about this year’s entries, how The Model has been ranking them, and plenty of banter throughout. It’s almost an hour, so sit back with a drink and enjoy!
