In this week's DNQ Files Kris and Kim listen to Norwegian body positive, gay rap bear, Big Daddy Karsten's entry for the Melodi Grand Prix 2021, Smile. Kim is delighted, Kris sings along (edited out, you'll be glad to hear) and then Kris chats to BDK himself about MGP 2021, Eurovision and, of course, RuPaul's Drag Race!!

Make sure you pre-save Big Daddy Karsten's new single, Stepz, out on April 30th!!!.

The DNQ Files:

Interview with BDK:

Find Big Daddy Karsten on: 

In this week's Think About Eurovision we head for a "night out at the symphony" in Hilversum, Netherlands, Kim finds out that Volare (Nel Blu, Dipinto Di Blu) is a Eurovision song, we have a little impromptu singalong and Kris makes a romantic song sound creepy.

Next time, Eurovision 1974 

Post Pod Drag Race Chat:

In this week's DNQ we hastily cobble together an episode after Kris accidentally permanently deleted the audio, and take in the mismatched delights of Britsh R&B/Soul singer Beverlei Brown's duet with the tight trousered, falsetto singing, glam rocker, Justin Hawkins of The Darkness with their sexy beefeater backup singers. Yes. That's a sentence I just typed.  

Next time, Eurovision 1958! 

Verily and forsooth! It is time for us to rewind the sands of time, all the way back to the ancient times of *checks notes* ...2007, where Kris suddenly finds joy in an unexpected song, Santa gets flirty with the winner and a railroad sleeping car attendant brings a banger to the stage

A list of links that is a surprisingly epic playlist:

Next time: Eurovision 1958 

Post Podcast Drag Race Chat:

In this week's DNQ Files we celebrate the end of the National Selection season, by taking a look at 4 songs that failed to make it to Eurovision this year. This episode has it all, we watch some old ladies dancing, aliens shooting pyrotechnics out of their you know where, and live our Flashdance fantasy dahling!!

Eva Rydberg & Ewa Roo - Rena Rama Ding Dong 

Teflon Brothers x Pandora - I Love You 

Twosome - I Love My Bear 

Raylee - Hero 

Next time - Eurovision 2007 

In this episode, we go to a "cowshed in Ireland" to discuss the 1993 Eurovision Song contest from Millstreet, County Cork in the Republic of Ireland (it was an equestrian centre, actually). Kris notices all the horsies, Kim notices all the fishies, and we tackle the meanspirited Barbara Dex Award head on!

Drag Race Chat:

In this episode Kris and Kim listen to a funk song that isn't a funk song, discuss if people didn't like it because of the political lyrics... or just because: ska, and talk running music.

In this episode Kris lacks consistency in his opinion over if you can like a song ironically within minutes, Kim enjoys some bad poetry and Kris gets teary over flashmobs.

Drag Race Talk

In this week's The DNQ Files we will be taking in Lolita Zero's Get Frighten, which sadly failed to make it to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2017, and Kris and Kim discuss the art of misdirection, drag queens and special interests.
