Well, it’s been a roller coaster National Final season, April this year has had more politics than all the other Aprils added together, but we’re all ready to gather under the Eurovision 2017 banner. Before she puts on her delegation badge, Samantha Ross looks over the Class of 2017 to discover what sort of Song Contest we’re going to have in Kyiv.
Whilst everyone else is busy finishing off all their polls and hit lists for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, the team at ESC Insight are hard at work finalising our coverage plans for Kyiv. Ewan Spence and Sharleen Wright offer a sneak preview of our plans with the return of some old favourites as well as new ideas to look forward to (and this year you’ll be able to contribute to as well).
Ewan Spence is joined by Ben Morris and Dave Cargill for another round of Juke Box Jury. This year’s songs from Poland, Macedonia, Azerbaijan, Albania, the United Kingdom, and Italy are facing hit, miss, or maybe.
ESC Insight has covered what to do in Kyiv but how do you actually get there? What are the logistics that you really should know before your arrival? Sharleen Wright answers your questions…
One of the themes that’s been bubbling through the Eurovision fansphere this year is cultural appropriation. Ellie Chalkley looks at what you need to know about this topic, and how knowing it can help you be a more thoughtful, helpful person.
Lisa-Jayne Lewis and Alasdair Rendall join Ewan Spence with five more of this year’s Eurovision songs. Hits, misses, and maybes are lined up for Greece, Ukraine, Russia, Romania, and Montenegro, in the latest Juke Box Jury podcast.
