We start with expertise and end up in Eurovision. It’s kind of our thing.Eurovision Song Context is a monthly podcast that looks at the Eurovision Song Contest through an unexpected lens: expert insight. Each episode, a guest from a different field — psychology, fashion, politics, design, linguistics, and more — talk about their work and how it helps us understand 2–3 Eurovision entries in a whole new light. Are these songs genuinely good? So bad they’re good? Or just weirdly unforgettable?Longform episodes come out on the 12th of every month (the "douzeth"). We're where brilliant minds meet bad key changes.
