It’s the second half of semi-final one up for discussion today, as the ESC Insight team look back at the rehearsals from yesterday and what this may, or may not, mean for their chances of qualifying for the Grand Final on Saturday May 26th.

Right, stop whatever you’re doing and pay attention. ESC Insight has been podcasting from Eurovision for many years, but this year, with a bigger team, we thought we’d try some video. Here’s day one, with a look at the Press Centre, and interviews with Anmary and Rona Nishliu.

Time to round up the stories that have caught our eye in the last twenty four hours of The Eurovision Song Contest. From power and odds, to charts and rehearsals, this is the snack sized view of Baku.

Florent Boshnjaku is the composer of Suus, which will be sung by Albania’s Rona Nishliu. It’s the first song to feature Latin at the Eurovision Song Contest. Our Senior Interivewer, Terry Vision, caught up with Boshnjaku to find out more.

With Azerbaijan already making headlines with their staging of the 2012 Contest, Dr Paul Jordan looks back into the recent history of the Contest to find other grand moments in Eurovision history.

The daily backstage podcast returns to ESC Insight as Sam, Steven, Sharleen, and Luke join Ewan to talk about the first day of dress rehearsals, the press room, and the joys of the Baku traffic.
