Is it not the ultimate irony for us to give over 40 minutes of our time to an episode dedicated to songs we allegedly don't have time for? We keep challenging the status quo.

In all honesty, right as the Eurovision rehearsal week kicks off, we decided it was the best of occasions to cleanse our palates, brains, and bad vibes in order to put our best foot forward and get rid of all judgement. In this episode we go over some of the Eurovision tunes that we cannot seem to enjoy, and we try to discover if they’re just plain bad and Europe agreed, or if perhaps we’re simply not the audience.

To top it all off, the test of all tests - put your ESC knowledge on the line, because this time you’ll get to play a Double Common Linnet. Can you imagine five songs in the history of the contest that have not one, but two things in common? If you can’t, don’t worry, we’ve done it for you, you just have to stay until the end of the episode to find out…

It’s the final instalment of our Battle of the Songwriters saga and you know we had to do something special. How does one top something that’s already so close to perfection (citation needed)? Well, in this episode we talk about AND to the songwriter!

Andrej Babic has composed bops in and outside of the Balkans, across a variety of styles and genres, and has even performed at Eurovision as a backing vocalist on several occasions: you won’t get many opportunities to listen in on what a full 360 perspective of your favourite contest looks like.

For our third instalment of The Battle of the Songwriters, there is someone we really cannot miss. Not only because in the last decade he has contributed 11 entries to the contest, two of which were actual winners, but because throughout Europe, he has composed a whopping 117 songs for national selections. You might not always like what Thomas G:son is putting out there, but we cannot deny he really is putting out a lot of it!

And in case you haven’t overdose on Swedish pop yet, we bring you yet another Scandinavian crafted bop thanks to Austrian icon Kaleen, who’s done Eurovision from basically every angle, and this year she’s here to also do the Laugh Laugh Please Please interview rounds. Not that she needs it, but I guess she knows we have a 100% qualifying rate so far…
