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.

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.

Montenegro is officially back in the Eurovision game, and the Eurovangelists are rarin' to chat about their national final, MonteSong 2024. We go over all of our favorite entries and ones that maybe weren't quite ready for the big show. Jeremy's been stung by an unknown villainess, Dimitry reveals the power of 13 people, and Oscar continues to be our Power Rangers expert.

12/4 UPDATE: The winner of MonteSong 2024 (who we won't spoil for anyone going into this episode fresh) has withdrawn from competition. We'll update you more fully next week when we will likely know who Montenegro has selected in their place, but you can check our social media accounts for more information.

In celebration of MonteSong, Montenegro's national final happening on November 27th, the Eurovangelists are going through every song Montenegro's ever sent to the ESC over the decades they've been participants. A very broad collection of styles and performers await you as we discuss what Montenegro should keep in mind when voting for their entry at the end of the month. Jeremy's back with another signature Rock Rant, Dimitry does some deep Space "exploration," Oscar can't believe his family podcast is being scandalized with these lyrics.

The Eurovangelists have arrived at the final week of their series on each host's picks for the best songs for introducing Eurovision to new viewers, or older viewers who might want to know what we would pick. This week, we're joined by Mike Cabellon (Mr. Mayor, TV Chef Fantasy League) as we listen to Jeremy's offbeat selections for the eight songs he likes and what makes them worth picking. Jeremy wants America to get into Dutch R&B, Dimitry has the info for the train, Mike can't believe a classic is in third, and Oscar, well, just call him Lady Bump.

The Eurovangelists enter their second week of their series on each host's picks for the best songs for introducing Eurovision to new viewers, or older viewers who might want to know what we would pick. This week, we're joined by Vic Michaelis (Dropout, Upload) as we listen to Oscar's picks for the eight songs he picks from the different decades of ESC and what makes them worth picking. Jeremy's grooving to that Turkish sound, Dimitry likes a song from 2009 that's not Fairytale, Vic finds the podcast in each song, and Oscar builds his playlist in slo-mo.

The Eurovangelists kick off a three week series of taking a listen to each host's picks for the best songs for introducing Eurovision to new viewers, or older viewers who just like hearing what we like. First up is Dimitry, who's got eight songs from all different eras of the contest and a little background on why they're so important to him. Jeremy's going full Basement Dad, Dimitry celebrates the surprisingly influential Gina G, Oscar just wants to hang out with his friends, and Zach tries to get on Koza Mostra's level.
