Episode notes

The Eurovangelists talk about Ireland’s Eurosong and Luxembourg’s National Song Contest 2024.

Ireland decides to SEND THE WITCH, and Luxembourg’s back for the first time since 1993. Dimitry, Oscar and Jeremy have a ton to say about both of these national finals, plus we’ll check out the internal selections from France & Slovenia. Also our very first listener mail segment, or as we call it, Postcards!

Dimitry’s guide to internal selections vs. national finals: see the results yourself!

Dana International can’t quite handle the heft of the Eurovision Trophy in 1999.

The live performance of Love Love Peace Peace is also worth the watch.

About the show

What has more pomp, spectacle, and sequins than the Olympics, Wrestlemania, and RuPaul’s Drag Race combined? The Eurovision Song Contest, Europe’s yearly competition to determine which country has the best original song. It’s an extraordinary live musical showdown in which Europe’s most dynamic singers put it all on the line in the name of national pride. And Eurovangelists, a hilarious podcast about all things Eurovision, is here to help you get in on the fun!

Each week, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know about the contest that gave us ABBA, Celine Dion, and a turkey puppet singing on behalf of Ireland. Join superfans Dimitry Pompée, Oscar Montoya, and Jeremy Bent as we get entirely too excited about the latest Eurovision news, argue about which song should win this year, and explore the most inspiring, bizarre, and hilarious stories from the Contest’s start in 1956 all the way to today. Whether you’re a long-time Eurovision fan or completely new to it, we’ll make you into a Eurovangelist too!
