Big scenes this week in the pod, with the Sanremo upset (so much that the episode gets an explicit warning!). Will Mahmood get a second chance as a contestant for a different country? We bring you our thoughts for the winner, Angelina Mango, and those of Latvia and Finland (it's crazy, it's Windows!).

We've updated our Spotify playlist to include the latest songs and we're already up to 12! Plenty to go, but we now have a nice selection to start choosing favourites. What's yours?

This week things are really ramping up! We review last Saturday's selections in Norway, Ukraine, Malta and Spain. Any favourites yet? We also discuss the potential threat of boycott from an increasing number of participant countries and what it may mean for this edition. Finally, a preview of next Super Saturday, an even bigger selection day. We're getting closer to a full entry list!

As we officially welcome the Eurovision new season, Barbara and Maria chat through the latest news of the contest (we have the first 2024 artist!) and comment on the last final to take place in what will be the next host city, Malmö. The wins, the fails, and (quite literally) the bridge between both.
