S4E15 Switzerland and Eurovision: A Long Term Relationship | LP

Switzerland’s commitment to Eurovision has been long and faithful. They gave us the first ever Grand Prix, almost seven decades ago, and in a two-for-one deal they also gave us the first ever winner, Lys Assia. They gave us the most iconic vocalist to ever come out of the song contest, Céline Dion, and they also took care of the last edition in the 80s, before the new decade saw Europe fall apart and start to rebuild back up again. They’ve given us language diversity throughout the years, showing the cultural richness that a small, landlocked country has to offer. And in a history of firsts, they also gave us Nemo, the first non-binary winner and the reason why we’re about to dive head-first in ESC’s 69th edition in Basel.

And it’s us at Laugh Laugh Please Please who will take you all the way back and forth, up and down, throughout Swisstory - because not everybody is brave enough to take that voyage on their own. Enjoy!
