This week on the Eurovoix Podcast, we find the next competing song for Eurovision 2025 - and lose a country along the way.

On this episode of Wrap-Up, we head to Luxembourg to see their national final live and in person. Neil Farren takes you to the Grand Duchy to capture the experience of the show, and meets their new Eurovision act Laura Thorn as she discusses her hopes for the contest.

However, we also react to the shock withdrawal of Moldova from the competition after two decades, and Steven Heap takes a heartfelt look back at some of the highlights of one of the contest's most memorable nations.

And that's not all - we're on top of all the major news from the contest this week. We'll be diving deep into Ireland's chances with Conor & Lou from Éirevision as they tell us what it's been like to meet the six artists competing at Eurosong 2025, bring you to Basel to see who the new Eurovision hosts are, and ask what mascot would be perfect for the world's biggest song contest.

There's also an exciting announcement at the end of the show, so stick around to find out what we're up to next!
