Episode 33 is HERE — and this one is special. This is our very first vidcast, and we are coming to you fresh off the First Semi-Final of Eurovision 2026. 🎙️📺🇦🇹
Ten countries are through to Saturday's Grand Final. Five are going home. And we have a lot to say about all of it.
Greece, Finland, Belgium, Sweden, Moldova, Israel, Serbia, Croatia, Lithuania and Poland — the Grand Final is taking shape. But were there surprises? Did our predictions hold up? And what does the Semi-Final 1 result tell us about Saturday night?
We also react to the five countries that didn't make it through — Portugal, Georgia, Montenegro, Estonia and San Marino — and what their elimination means for the contest.
First vidcast, first semi-final results, plenty of emotions — this one has it all. 🎶🇦🇹

Episode 32 is HERE — and this week, we are putting our reputations on the line. 🎙️🇦🇹
Vienna is almost here. The semi-finals are days away. And it is time to make our predictions.
We went through every single act in both semi-finals — one by one — and gave our honest verdict. Who is safe? Who is on the edge? And who, despite everything, is going home before Saturday?
Semi-Final 1 was hard enough. But Semi-Final 2? That is a different beast entirely. With so many acts capable of qualifying and so little separating them, we went back and forth more times than we'd like to admit. Did anybody count how many asterisks are in this semi-final?
Ten spots per semi-final. Twenty qualifiers total. And two people with very strong opinions about who gets them.
Predictions, arguments, and plenty of doubt — this one has it all. 🎶

Episode 31 is HERE — and this week, we're letting the data do the talking. 📊🎙️
One month out from Vienna, we went back through 18 years of Eurovision history — from 2007 to 2025 — and asked the question every fan is thinking: do the betting odds actually mean anything?
The answer? Yes. But not in the way you might expect.
We break down the headline numbers — how often the favourite wins, how reliable the top five really is, and how many gate-crashers to expect on the night. We go year by year through the bookmakers' greatest hits and their most embarrassing failures — from Alexander Rybak's near-certain victory in 2009 to Conchita Wurst winning from sixteenth in the odds in 2014. And we run the numbers on Vienna 2026 — what history says should happen, what the pre-parties told us, and whether Finland's odds are as solid as they look.
Numbers, history, and plenty of opinions — this one has it all. 🎶🇦🇹

Episode 30 is HERE — and the pre-party era is officially over. Vienna is next. 🎙️
We just got back from a packed weekend across London and Bucharest, and we have a lot to say. This week, we are sharing our full experience from three events in three days — LondonHagen across two nights, the Bucharest Pre-Party, and the crown jewel of the pre-party season, the London Eurovision Party 2026. 25 acts, one unforgettable night, and a headliner we had never heard live before: Look Mum No Computer, making his first ever pre-party appearance. Oh, and Boy George showed up and sang with Senhit. Just a normal Sunday.
Which performances blew us away? Who surprised us? And who has moved in our estimations after seeing them live?
We also have an exciting update from Vienna itself: stage construction at the Wiener Stadthalle is almost complete, and stand-in rehearsals are just around the corner. It's all becoming very real.
Pre-parties, passion, and plenty of opinions — this one has it all. 🎶🇦🇹
