Our new documentary series, Eurovision Uncovered, sets out to explain the Song Contest – and why it might not work how you think.

In the opening episode, host James Stephenson speaks to songwriter Jenna Doyle and music scholar Dr. Sam Murray, a team who has done academic research into what it’s really like for Eurovision songwriters. He also asks what makes Eurovision’s winning formula, speaks to a senior delegation member about what they look for when they pick their entry, and draws on previous interviews with Eurovision 2025 artists Remember Monday, Ziferblat, and Kyle Alessandro to see how the artists are both creating songs that fit Eurovision’s rules – and actively challenge them.
