Jury or No Jury?



What’s the point of juries? Ostensibly they’re to temper the influence of bloc voting and politics in Eurovision and make sure the best song wins. But what effect do they have on the final result, and is it time to get rid of them? Max, Alix, and a very special guest discuss all this and more on our first off-season episode this year!

You can find our dataset on discrepancies between jury and televote scores here.

We love bringing you new Eurovision content, but could use a little help. We’d really appreciate it if you head to over to ko-fi.com/starspangledeurovision and give us a few bucks to keep this thing going!
