On today's episode of the Eurovoix Podcast, we reflect on a dramatic Grand Final in Basel - and ask where Eurovision goes from here.

James Stephenson is your host as he gets to ask JJ personally how he felt waiting for that dramatic split-screen to end during Saturday night's final, and you'll hear JJ's reaction in today's show. And, for the rest of it, he and the rest of the Eurovoix Podcast team break down Austria's victory, all the shocks and surprises, and ask whether more needs to be done to protect the voting system.

On this final episode of the Eurovision 2025 season, we'd like to thank all of you for listening to Wrap-Up over the last nine months. Our story began when we learned we were heading to Basel, and it ended in the room with the winner - congratulations to Austria, and good luck for the contest in 2026!

Today on the Eurovoix Podcast, we have our full lineup for the biggest music show in the world - the Eurovision Grand Final.

James Stephenson is your host in Basel as, just minutes after Semi-Final 2 finished, we break down the 10 qualifiers and analyse what went wrong for those who missed out. Neil Farren and Sem Anne van Dijk join us to go over the whole semi-final and look ahead to see if anybody can challenge Sweden for this year's Eurovision title.

The rest of the Eurovoix Podcast team will be reacting to all the surprises too, from Australia's milkshake falling flat and Czechia waving "Kiss Kiss Goodbye" to the contest. And, as the final is just a day away, we'll be looking ahead to it by interviewing some of the stars competing.

You'll hear from Swiss hometown hero Zoë Më as she prepares her "Voyage" for the Basel stage, and German duo Abor & Tynna join us to talk about what makes "Baller" unique. And, uniquely, we have a chance to speak to artists hours after they qualified - you'll hear from Portugal's NAPA about their feelings about making it to the final, and we'll speak to Ziferblat for a third time about their experience at Eurovision.

So if you love Eurovision, go there with us. Listen to Wrap-Up throughout the contest in Basel, and make sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts to make sure you don’t miss a moment!

Today on the Eurovoix Podcast, we react to a semi-final full of shocks - and look ahead to the next with two stars looking to qualify.

James Stephenson is your host in Basel as, only minutes after the results were announced, he and the team react to the big stories. Neil Farren and Sem Anne van Dijk join just metres from the St. Jakobshalle Arena to go through all the qualifiers and non-qualifiers - from Belgium's shock exit to Portugal's incredible inclusion.

We've also got all the reaction from the rest of our team who were watching Eurovision at home to the results of last night. Not only that, we'll be running through which songs are where in the Grand Final running order, and at one point Sem Anne van Dijk makes an elaborate hot chocolate order.

And we're not just looking back - we march on towards Semi-Final 2! We'll run through the 16-strong lineup for Thursday's show and speak to two artists fighting for a place in the final - Klavdia from Greece and Princ from Serbia!

Today on the Eurovoix Podcast, we’re turning our eyes on the second semi-final stagings - and our mics to two of the contenders.

James Stephenson hosts today’s Wrap-Up as we arrive in Basel for the biggest song contest in the world, and Daniel Stridh is already meeting up with the acts. Dan starts by catching up with “Milkshake Man” Go-Jo from Australia about his entry, and there’s time to stop by with Katarsis to hear all about the story and emotion behind “Tavo Akys”.

But that’s not all we have for you. We’ll be going through every song from Semi Final Two and how they’re shaping up in the rehearsals. We’ll run through Armenia’s “Survivor” on Parg’s treadmill, see what Malta’s Miriana Conte is “Serving” on stage, and take a deep dive in black and white with Austria’s JJ and his big contender “Wasted Love”.

And later on in the show, we’ll be seeing how the betting odds are shaping up ahead of Eurovision next week. Our next show on Monday will be recorded entirely in Basel and will be your ultimate Semi Final One preview!

So if you love Eurovision, go there with us. Listen to Wrap-Up throughout the contest in Basel, and make sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts to make sure you don’t miss a moment!

Today on the Eurovoix Podcast, Eurovision 2025 becomes a reality, with the first 15 competing songs taking to the stage for rehearsals in Basel.

Steven Heap is your host as Wrap-Up takes a look at how the first semi-final stagings are shaping up. We'll be taking a closer look at whether KAJ are still the ones to beat in Basel with "Bara Bada Bastu", seeing whether the hype around Cyprus's "Shh" is justified, and diving deep into revamped stagings from Croatia and Albania.

We've also got time to go over everything we've seen from the first rehearsals for semi-final one - from Iceland's boat to Poland's ropes, we've got you covered. And, during the show, we'll also chat about Käärijä and Baby Lasagna being added to the Eurovision interval act line-up, and we'll see which stars will be handing out the douze pointe as this year's spokespersons!

At the end of the show, we'll compare Eurovoix's two methods of predicting Eurovision 2025, too - we'll have the final results from the Your Voix vote, and see what The Model is projecting as we arrive in Switzerland.

As Eurovision 2025 begins, Wrap-Up is here to bring you every moment of the contest. We'll be back on Friday with a first look at the songs in the second semi-final as well as the Big 5 and hosts Switzerland, so don't miss it!

This week on the Eurovoix Podcast, all eyes are turning to Basel - and their plans for Eurovision 2025 are firming up fast.

Franciska van Waarden hosts this week's Wrap-Up as we analyse the Eurovision alumni coming back to the contest, whether there is a chance for the COVID-hit class of 2020 to perform their songs again, and if Celine Dion may make a special appearance as Eurovision returns to Switzerland.

We'll also talk about the Eurovision 2025 postcards after we obtained their locations, discuss the ongoing OGAE poll to see which songs are standing out to Eurovision's biggest fans, and ask whether new rules on flags will help or hinder the contest in maintaining political neutrality.

And, at the end of the show, we revisit our Eurovision sweepstake selections - and Sem Anne van Dijk begins to interview himself. Really.

For that and so much more, make sure you listen to Wrap-Up, your Eurovision news show. And, as rehearsals begin in Basel next week, we'll have two special shows for you to enjoy as we see what each country is bringing to the stage!

This week on the Eurovoix Podcast, we've got you covered as the countdown to Eurovision 2025 starts to get even quicker.

James Stephenson is your host on Wrap-Up this week as we reflect on this Easter weekend's pre-party in Madrid, Spain, and we ask whether those parties and promo tours really make an impact on the Eurovision leaderboard.

We'll also see which songs are predicted to make it out of the competitive second semi-final in the next round of Your Voix, and we're previewing more of this year's songs, too. From the man climbing faster than anyone in the odds for Czechia to Malta's entry that has everyone talking, we'll see which ones look to have the best chance of success in Basel.

And, at the end of our show, an Easter treat, as we go on a different kind of Easter egg hunt: for the most random, unhinged and hilarious Eurovision facts!

For all the latest from Eurovision as Basel draws nearer, make sure you don't miss a moment. Listen to Wrap-Up every Monday morning (from now on!) from 07:00 CET!

In the first of a two-part special, the Eurovoix Podcast is at the London Eurovision Party to speak to several of this year's Eurovision contenders.

On this show, James Stephenson and Darshan Bijuvignesh interview artists from all across Europe looking to make an impact at the contest in Basel next month. They range from older acts like San Marino's Gabry Ponte and Poland's Justyna Steczkowska, to younger artists like Croatia's Marko Bosnjak and Iceland's Væb.

There's also a chance to learn more about this year's artists. James speaks to Belgium's Red Sebastian about his decision to take on a stage name, Australia's Go-Jo about his upbringing in a self-sustaining community, and Czechia's Adonxs about how his time in London shaped his artistry today. You'll also hear from six Latvian fairies as Tautumeitas also drop by to chat.

And, at the end of the show, Darshan meets his favourite artists of this year, Shkodra Elektronike from Albania - and he has a special gift just for them. 

Tomorrow, we'll be back with your regularly scheduled Wrap-Up covering all that happened at LEP, the latest news from Basel, more of our song previews and a chance to hear what British Eurofans think of this year's songs - from the pub!

Make sure you come back at 07:00 CET on Tuesday 15 April for Part 2, and every week for the Eurovoix Podcast - on Tuesday next week because of Easter, and Monday after that!
