Over the summer, a group of Eurovision podcasters are joining forces to create a series of episodes, each showcasing a different year of the Song Contest… but it has to be a year when a country first hosted Eurovision.

We're so excited to be a part of this with so many amazing podcasters such as The Wind Machine Podcast, The EuroWhat? Podcast and That Eurovision Site - you can see who is taking part here: https://linktr.ee/eurovisionpodcrawl. Of course, make sure you're following them all so you don't miss a thing!

In a few weeks time we'll be taking you to one of Tomas' favourite contest, Riga 2003 but right now ESC Insight have released the first episode and invite you all to Cannes 1959!

Okay, this should be 3 episodes, but Eurovision rudely got in the way! Join Niall and Tomas as they go through the rollercoaster ride of the semi final and final of De Mol - and discuss some of the insights from the Reunion episode.

OOPS. This was saved as a draft. Should have been public a while ago...

We're a bit late, sorry, but in this episode we have giant golf clubs, half eaten meals and a high octane rescue mission - what could possibly go wrong? Oh yeah, the Mole is still happily sabotaging everything and the candidates are struggling.Niall and Tomas delve into this episode and discuss their Mole predictions.(Please no Episode 7 spoilers - Niall will cry.)

Well, it's officially Eurovision month, which means its time for Niall and Tomas to make their predictions, and its time to look at which acts will qualify from Semi Final 2!If both of them agree an act is going to qualify then they are awarded a niallpoints Certified Qualifier badge! Surely that's better than a glass trophy!

It's episode 4 of De Mol, we had boat races, dancing and balloons - what more do we need?Who do you think is de mol - let us know in the comments!

We were a bit late catching up - so its time to enjoy a double episode of our reality podcast!

Here we discuss the second and third episodes of Flemish TV show De Mol.

Who do we think is De Mol? It's really to early to tell but of course we have our suspicions!

Selection Season may be over, but we're not going anywhere.

Tomas is ready now to reveal his current qualifiers from Semi Final 1.
