Episode notes
In honor of our Silver Signal Award, we’re bringing back Silver Medal Superstars, a tribute to all the great second place entries in Eurovision that don’t get nearly as much love as the winners. For this look back, we’re joined by Eurovangelists fan and DJ Cecily Herzig of Connections with Cecily, a great music show on Royalton Community Radio in Vermont. Jeremy’s finding the New Seekers everywhere he looks, Dimitry gives his Bettan history lecture, Cecily dreams of pop girlie babushki, and Oscar proves his unspoken bond with Cecily.
Learn more about Cecily and her radio show, and listen to the most recent episode.
Watch all the Silver Medal Superstars from this week on YouTube.

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!
