It's a super-duper Saturday this weekend, because not only do we cover Poland's Polish Qualifications, Estonia's Eesti Laul, Norway's Melodi Grand Prix and Lithuania's Eurovizija.LT, but we also make time for the granddaddy of all song competitions, Italy's Sanremo. It's a packed weekend of competition, but it also means there's five NEW songs in the Eurovision class of 2025. Jeremy can't get enough wind machines, Dimitry loves a popcorn superhero, and Oscar wishes those Italians would just slow it down a little.

Didn't get enough national finals last weekend? Well this time we've got FIVE national finals to talk about, starting with Ireland's Eurosong. After that, it's Ukraine's Vidbir, Latvia's Supernova, Malta's MESC, with Finland's UMK to round things out. Five finals means five new competitors in this year's ESC, and some of them have us thinking we might have heard a winner. Jeremy has the weight of the Soviet space program on his mind, Dimitry pours one out for his space grandma, and Oscar's got one Maltese song on lo-lo-loop.

Four national finals in one weekend? That's a Super Saturday, Eurovision fans, and it's the first of three in a row. We're talking about Greece's Ethnikos Telekos, Slovenia's EMA, Spain's Benidorm Fest, and Belgium's Eurosong, which means we have FOUR new Eurovision songs as well! We also talk about a particular impression by Slovenian artist Klemen, and despite his best intentions, how he missed the mark. Jeremy has no time for earnestness in 2025, Dimitry just isn't feeling his beloved Benidorm any more, and Oscar knows a 90s jam when he hears it.

National Final Season is about to start its crazy downhill decent towards Eurovision, and we've got the latest one before we're inundated with them. Luxembourg put on another great show with fantastic guest artists, and some very solid competitors as well. Jeremy celebrates a short king, Dimitry makes yet another impassioned speech against recency bias, and Oscar is a little put off by the strategizing.

We finally tackle what might be our second most common fan question, which is: why is Australia in Eurovision? The short answer is they're really good at it, but we've got the full answer, plus Australian commentary courtesy of Lachlan, the president of OGAE Australia, to give us all the inside info on the Aussie acts of the last decade. Jeremy doesn't want tomorrow, Dimitry is weightless in his love for Kate Miller-Heidke, Lachlan is close personal friends with legends, and Oscar is Montaigne all the way.

Can you believe it's been a whole year since our first episode? We kind of can't either, but it's true: we've reached our Eurovangeversary! We look back at the past year, answer a few postcards, and challenge each other to a few games, so come join the party. Jeremy's haunting his fellow hosts with the ghost of episodes past, Dimitry has a bone to pick with the ESC 250(s), and Oscar wants us to defend some titles.

It's officially 2025, which means it's national final season for Eurovision. Dimitry's put together a batch of the most compelling national finals based on accessibility, show quality, and of course, DRAMA. Jeremy loves a short setlist, Dimitry gets trolled by a coffee shop order, and Oscar prays for another glow up for Ireland.

Happy New Year! We've reached our second national final of the 2025 Eurovision season, and it's Albania's venerable Festivali i Këngës, now in its 63rd year. We're excited for this year's revamp thanks to new director of FIK, Elhaida Dani, and we talk about our favorites and least favorites from the final night of performances. Jeremy's pleasantly surprised by a Williamsburg hipster, Dimitry urges singers to once again stay in their lane, and Oscar's got some fashion suggestions for a fellow host.

It's been a heck of a year for Eurovision, and with that year comes lots of questions. The Eurovangelists answer a flood of postcards sent in by fans, talk about Dimitry's trip to Het Grote Songfestivalfeest, and disclose their individual Spotify Wrapped top songs! Jeremy wonders if San Marino is indeed the San Marino, Dimitry finally rises to his cohosts' level, and Oscar shares his favorite Sentai calypso.

The Christmas season is upon us, and not even the Eurovision Song Contest is capable of resisting those sleigh bells. The Eurovangelists are joined by the hilarious Jiavani as they go through a winter wonderland of holiday music performed exclusively by past ESC artists. Jeremy's belting out with Saturday morning gusto, Dimitry urges us all to be proud of our bodies, Jiavani lobbies for more aunt songs, and Oscar discovers Something Magical about the holiday season.
