Sweden will get the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest off to an uptempo start this year, with Robin Bengtsson set to open the first semi final with I Can’t Go On.
We have a running order for the two Semi Finals of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Which countries are happy with the outcome, and which are now biting their nails nervously? Ben Robertson investigates
Just two weeks after the first National Final of the season came the first preview event of the year. Ben Robertson was in Riga to report for ESC Insight on the show, the spectacle, and the benefit of preview events for the acts involved.
Joining Ewan Spence to judge another six Eurovision songs are Boog Biagi and Ross Middleton. This week we listen to Israel, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Latvia, and Ireland.
With the announcement of Yuliya Samoylova as the Russian singer, and Ukraine’s subsequent travel ban on the singer, the countries have visibly dragged politics into this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Ewan Spence discusses the potential political driving forces behind the very public disagreements.
Filling the gaps of the 43, looking ahead to the preview concerts, trying not to upset Russia and Ukraine, and a little bit of Yodelling from DJ Idleweiss. Ewan Spence keeps you up to date with the latest Insight News Podcast.
