Ben Robertson is joined by Iván Trejo (ESC Plus ES) and Arnur Nurakhmetov (Jevision.kz) to talk about Spain and Kazakhstan at Junior Eurovision, a look at some of the big rehearsals, and how countries get the public vote out, in the latest discussion podcast from Yerevan.

The European Broadcasting Union and the Armenian public broadcaster held a Press Conference at Junior Eurovision 2022. Here is what the they had to say about ticketing, budgeting and the future of Junior Eurovision.

The Junior Eurovision winner traditionally appears as part of following Eurovision Song Contest, but usually in the form of an interview. Ben Robertson argues it would be a far better tradition for the victorious artist to perform their winning song as the ‘grand prize’ of winning Junior Eurovision.

Ben sits down with some of the Eurovision community members and a podcast microphone to talk about Junior Eurovision in general, Yerevan 2022 in particular, and the competitive landscape that our 16 acts and broadcasters find themselves facing.

We ask people both inside and outside the Junior Eurovision bubble to answer the question “Why Junior?”
