Welcome back after a long time! This episode was wished to be uploaded earlier but unfortunately, as Javier says in the disclaimer, duties and every day issues can overcome you. Nevertheless this episode is a good way to check what we expected before national finals season began with all the turmoil happened with five countries withdrawing.

Didrik, Javier and Robert talk about these facts in a distant time like October 2025 and many more, apart from analysing the 1972 festival held "by default" in Edinburgh. This is a year full of historic and political events and good music, as Javier details in his trivia section. Here you will have the chance to discover stars like Nicola Di Bari, The New Seekers and Family Four, but also you will listen the first attempt of Ireland singing in Gaelic or the first incursion of progressive rock.

You can also listen our 1971 playlist and enjoy most of the songs of this edition.
