The Euro Trip | Eurovision Podcast

In this special episode we're bringing you a taste of some of the bonus content you can enjoy over on The Euro Trip +

Following last month's announcement that David May and Andrew Cartmell will continue to lead the UK Eurovision team, we explain why this year does indeed mark a change in approach for the United Kingdom.

With David May saying the UK plan is "to be represented by an outstanding current British act, backed up by the very best songwriting and production talent the UK music industry has to offer" we look at the details of the announcement.

So what does it all mean? And will the UK return to the lefthand side in Burgas?

The new season is upon us, and in this first episode we welcome Eurovision's newest family member into the fold.

We cross to Toronto to meet Jennifer Dettman, CBC's Head of Unscripted Content and their first ever Head of Delegation. She explains why her country are "here to play" in Burgas, and the important lessons she has already learnt from some of the other competing nations.

Rob and Callum also recap some of the biggest stories from the past few months and the One Second Song returns.

The final episode of this series of The Contest & Me concludes with a trip to Eurovision's newest nation.

We head to Canada to meet Content Creator Shawn Myers (Worldvishawn) to hear how his country are preparing to make their debut in Burgas next year.

Shawn tells us about his unique role in helping with the preparations, while he also reflects on the music and memories that made him first fall in love with the competition.

Can you believe we've never had him on The Contest and Me?!

We're reunited with one of our favourite guests as Eurovision Creative Director, Dan Shipton joins us for a trip down memory lane.

We head back to the 1990s and the UK's most recent win in the contest, his memories of Electro Velvet, Lucie Jones and Surie, and his unexpected debut in the compeition.

Then there's Turin, Sam Ryder, and the performance that came so close to lifting the glass microphone trophy.

This week the new series continues with another familiar voice to Eurovision fans.

We're off to Denmark to met the man who had the pleasure of announcing his home country's win back in 2013, and whose commentary debut was derailed by the technical problems that beset the first semi-final in Düsseldorf just two years earlier.

He shares his fond memories of his first live contest when Copenhagen hosted Eurovision's biggest ever venue back in 2001, and we ask what change he'd make if put in charge of the competition?
