In this episode, Kris chats with Matti to talk about his smash hit Fringe show, A Canadian Explains Eurovision to Americans/Canadians, which sold out some of its shows and led to him receiving fan art!

We discuss the trials and tribulations of Fringe life, including temperamental clickers, adding 170 new sound cues at the last minute, and running into Baby Lasagna fans.

Matti talks about how the show isn't just a history lesson but also a deep dive into his own relationship with the contest.

Plus, we ask the important question: can we get demonetised if we don't make any money in the first place?

Running a podcast can be a surprisingly expensive hobby! We're all in on bringing you the best Eurovision chat, but the costs of hosting and recording software are starting to add up. If you've enjoyed our episodes, please consider buying us a coffee to help us keep the show on the road (or, you know, in the recording studio). Every little bit helps!

In this episode, Matti and Chrissy discuss the values of Jedward, the reign of Queen Loreen, and the questionable choice of Russia to send a cohort of grandmothers to the contest.

In This Episode:

Matti and Chrissy realize that the reason this episode took so long to come out was because life is chaos.

But once realized, they got together to discuss 2 Canadian national treasures who competed, beautiful Spanish people and a whole host of rambling foolishness.

Hello from the land of the Penguins!!

I'm popping onto the feed to share my chat with Liz about Junior Eurovision on Falklands Radio.

I should also be back sometime late on Sunday to discuss the contest and the winner alongside Chrissy and Matti, and then I'll be leaving them to keep going through the contests covered by me and Kim.

Unfortunately internet is still quite limited down here, both in terms of bandwidth and amount of data allowance, so I can't come back full time to the podcast quite yet, but I'm going to make sure to come back as much as possible!!

Thank you all for your support listening to the podcast.

Ok, love yas!!

Kris
