Eurovoix Podcast | Eurovision News, Wherever You Are

On today's episode of Wrap-Up, we give you our immediate reactions to a dramatic, dynamic and often chaotic Grand Final of Eurovision 2024.

James Stephenson and Sem Anne van Dijk bring you to the Malmö Arena just moments after Nemo's stunning victory for Switzerland and bring you their reactions to their victory and press conference.

And, after the disqualification of Joost Klein, we speak with GJ Kooijman from Ding-a-Dong - Een Eurovisie Songfestival Podcast about the fallout in the Netherlands from the news. Not only that, Eurovoix's Daniel Stridh joins us to explain why Nemo said to them that Eurovision needs some fixing.

We've also got the reaction from everyone in the Eurovoix Podcast team to Nemo's win, but also other results from the night - Norway's shock last place, the UK's shock nil points, and Ireland's best result at the contest since 2000.

Eurovision may be over - but the Eurovoix Podcast isn't done yet. Find out more about a crazy day in contest history, wherever you are.

On today's episode of Wrap-Up, the Eurovoix Podcast brings you the launch of Eurovision 2024 - the turquoise carpet.

James Stephenson has landed in Malmö and went straight from the airport to this year's Eurovision launch. There, he chatted to more Eurovision artists than you can count with two hands, including some of the big contenders for the crown - you'll hear from Switzerland's Nemo, Italy's Angelina Mango and the Europapa from the Netherlands, Joost Klein.

There's a chance for a few deeper questions, like what Kaleen thinks about the rise of dance at Eurovision and what Aiko's learned about grief since writing Pedestal. And there's also time for the artists to have a bit of fun, including Dons from Latvia's self-deprecating humour and Megara's annoyance that 11:11 is performing in slot 10.

So, if you want to get closer to Eurovision, we're already here. Listen to the Eurovoix Podcast all week, with a daily show to bring each part of this year's contest to you. That's Eurovision every day, everywhere.

On today's episode of Wrap-Up, the Big 5 arrive for their first rehearsals - and they're bringing inside the box thinking to Eurovision 2024.

Spain, Germany and Sweden are all utilising the cubes around the stage in their performances, while the UK's Olly Alexander is taking it one step further - building a boxing locker room inside a box. We dive deep into the staging for "Dizzy" on this episode, and half of our team get quite excited about the UK's chances.

We'll also analyse how France and Italy's performances are shaping up ahead of the contest next week, and just how well they could do on the scoreboard. And elsewhere in Malmö, we catch up with two of the most unique acts at this year's contest - Norway's Gåte and Slovenia's Raiven.

There's all that as well as new interval acts, new betting odds and more from the world of the world's biggest song contest. We're almost ready for show week - so get ready with the Eurovoix Podcast.

On today's episode of Wrap-Up, rehearsal week continues with two of this year's big contenders stepping onto the stage - Nemo and Joost Klein.

Our team has all the details from their rehearsals as well as all the staging news from the songs competing in the second semi-final. We'll take a deep dive into Nemo's staging for "The Code", and whether those fluffy boots can take all that jumping around, and ask whether Joost's new EU bird is actually part of his staging for the live shows.

Beyond the Malmö Arena, our team heads into the town square to spend a few minutes with Portugal's act Iolanda to discuss her song "Grito". Not only that, we've got all the big stories coming from Eurovision, including the details on this year's postcards and what Eurovision boss Martin Österdahl is saying about the future of the contest.

That's all to come on this special Wednesday edition of Wrap-Up - bringing this year's Eurovision Song Contest to you, wherever you are.
