This week a new edition of our favourite contest will take us all for another emotional rollercoaster, but before all is said and done, we wanted to look back at all other previous years in which Sweden got to play the hosting game. Let’s dive into all those artists that have won big, lost hard, sung in home turf, and pulled our heart strings in a nostalgia-filled episode featuring hits from 1975 through 2016 - we’re closing the 2024 season in absolute style!

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.
