Australia joined the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time almost 10 years ago sending the likes of Guy Sebastian, Dami Im, and most recently Electric Fields to the big stage.

Why Is Australia In Eurovision?

There is only one winner of the Eurovision Song Contest each year*. One song out of 40(ish) that will go down in history. But does that mean that the other 39(ish) songs completely wasted their time by competing in the first place?

Of course not! So why shouldn’t they be remembered too? 

In this podcast, I’m looking at the songs that didn’t win Eurovision, whether they came a close second or dead last. 

Speaking to fans, journalists, and of course, contestants, I’ll be dissecting each song and celebrating it for what it achieved, even if it didn’t get a trophy.
