The 2026 Eurovision Song Contest is in the rear view mirror but we're not finished with it just yet, as we're joined by Harry Dowdle & James Barber to review everything that happened on the night. Before that though you finally have a chance to listen to our 4 guests ideal Eurovision songs that they described during the previous 2 episodes and by the end of this one we will know who's song has been voted the best!

We're back for Part 2 of the 2026 Fantasy Five SINGS Eurovision specials and it's also FFR's 50th episode! Joining us this time are last years ideal Eurovision song winner Harry Dowdle, looking to repeat the feat, and then we chat with musician Alan Horner. With Harry, we review the Eurovision alternative from last year, Intervision, and with Alan we discuss what he enjoys about the contest and his annual Eurovision barbeque. It's a fun couple of conversations.

Fantasy Five SINGS has returned to chat Eurovision once again! For the first part of this short series, we are joined by two co-hosts of Off The Podium in Jarrod Loobeek & Colin Hilding. With Jarrod we preview this years coming competition, while with Colin we look into what he likes about Eurovision and how Canada see's it. And of course we'll be playing the Ideal Eurovision song game for both!

For one last time, we talk Milan-Cortina 2026 as we discuss everything that happened during the Winter Paralympics. I am joined by a man who was only over in Milan-Cortina 2 weeks ago, Patrick Riley, as we chat about how great the Curling finals were, USA's complete dominance in the Sled Hockey and how much Channel 4 annoyed Alex with their coverage of the Opening & Closing Ceremonies.

We're back for another look at what has happened during Milan-Cortina 2026! This time round, we are again joined by the awesome Colin Hilding from the podcast Off The Podium, to discuss as much as we can from the second week of the Winter Olympics, including the Closing Ceremony, the Canada Pokegate scandal and of course, we have to talk about the dog chasing the Biathlon competitors!

It's been basically a week of the 2026 Winter Olympics and we are ready to start talking about what's happened (although it was recorded just before Great Britain started winning all their Gold medals). I am joined by brand new guest David de Guzman to chat pretty much everything that has happened between Day -2 to half of Day 7 of Milan-Cortina 2026, covering a wide range of subjects from Lindsey Vonn's horror crash to the Olympic Village running out of condoms.

The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics are underway with a spectacular Opening Ceremony. Me and Sheldon the Rapper sat down the next day to discuss all the important points such as Taylor Swift recording her new video in Croydon & how a Cortina Milan sounds like a car. Important stuff like that. We do also chat a lot about the actual Opening Ceremony too of course.

The Winter Olympics are right around the corner and to get in the mood for it I am joined by certified Canadian & co-host of the podcast Off The Podium, Colin Hilding, to preview the upcoming games in Milan & Cortina. We both list the top 5 things we are looking forward to over the next few weeks, it ranges from the obvious (NHL) to the very specific (one particular part of the Opening Ceremony) and hopefully it'll get you in the mood too!
