Points for punditry? Tell us something quite interesting? Join host Ewan Spence for a Christmas Special on the podcast as our pundits David Elder, Elaine Dove, Ross Tillbrook and Danny Lynch play “Nul Point!” – the Eurovision Song Contest panel show.

It’s already a turning point in Eurovision history, so join us as we recall Moscow’s staging of the 2009 Song Contest, dubbed by Graham Norton as “the Beijing Olympics of Eurovision”. What a contest it was, with politics, intrigue, protests, a river of cash, Vladimir Putin… And Paul Jordan.

This week’s news, including news on our hosts for Düsseldorf, national final plans from around Europe, a call for songs for Armenia, and all those not quite disqualifications from Estonia’s National Final. With music from Latvia’s Lauris Reiniks.

Lena Meyer-Landrut’s Satellite not only gave Germany and the West a Eurovision victory, but an upbeat and modern pop song that gave the Contest a commerciality it has craved for long. But does her album live up to the same high expectations?
