We discuss the current state of fan media with dudepoints, Niall from niallpoints, and Derek from 12 Points (all with good points).

    Eurovision Podcast Podcrawl

    What is the Eurovision Podcrawl? It's where the Eurovision podcast community picks a topic ("a year when a country first hosted Eurovision") and we all publish our episodes in our own styles. At the end of an episode, we'll point to the podcast with the next episode, and so on, through the summer! Here's the crawl:

    • ESC Insight: France 1959
    • Wind Machine Podcast: Austria 1967
    • The EuroWhat? Podcast: Yugoslavia 1990 (week of July 14)
    • Niall Points: Latvia 2003 (week of July 28)
    • 12 Points from America: Belgium 1987 (week of August 11)
    • That Eurovision Site: Denmark 1964 (week of August 25)
    • Douze Points: Azerbaijan 2012 (week of September 8)
    • Special Guests: 12 Points from America, Dude Points, and Niall Fulton.
