Everybody make some SHUM! (It’s our 50th episode!!)



Join the gang this week as they give their extra hot takes on the Eurovision entries from Russia, Ukraine, Austria, and Switzerland! On our 50th episode (!!!), Max unsurprisingly already has first class tickets on the Manizha train, Bart has no objectivity left for Ukraine, and Alix has sure-to-be unpopular opinions on Switzerland.

Also, whether you’re new to the show or a long-time listener, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for helping us get to 50 episodes! We hope you’ll stick around because we’re certainly not done yet ;).

Songs featured:


The Annual San Marino Stancast (feat. some other songs too)



It’s that time of year again where the gang spends too much time obsessing over whatever San Marino has in store for Eurovision this year, but we also talk about some other songs too. If last week was Bart’s week, this time it’s Alix’s turn to stan all the songs!

Songs featured:

Fyr & Flamme (Denmark) – “Øve Os På Hinanden”

Måneskin (Italy) – “Zitti E Buoni”

The Black Mamba (Portugal) – “Love Is On My Side”

Senhit (San Marino) – “Adrenalina”


“It’s pure chaos, and I love that”



Join the gang as they tackle the chaotic entries coming out of Moldova, Australia, Serbia, and Estonia. This week,  Alix can’t help but fall for the Estonian heartthrob for a 2nd year in a row while Max and Bart debate which entry truly defines the term “camp excellence.”

Songs featured:


The Calm Before the Storm (of Bangers)



Sit back and relax with the gang this week as they enjoy (?) the low-tempo vibes of the entries from Slovenia, Belgium, Romania, and the Netherlands! This week we… actually all kind of agree on what we think of these songs, which is…new. But are we saying “Amen” to Ana Soklič? What do we think of too-cool-for-school Hooverphonic’s song this year? Most importantly, exactly how much do we love “Birth of a New Age”? Listen and find out!

Songs featured:


The Devil Went Down to Cyprus



Join the gang for another episode as they react to this year’s Eurovision songs from Spain, Cyprus, Germany, and Ireland! This week, Bart and Alix miss the point of Spain’s performance, Max is surprised at Bart’s reaction to Germany, and all three wonder about Ireland’s potential. But does Cyprus meet our expectations? Listen in and find out!

Songs featured:


Omaga, This Really Tix Me Back!



Join the gang as they take a dive into the entries from Croatia, the Czech Republic, Finland, and Norway! This week, Max has some concerns about Finland’s lyrics, Bart and Alix are unimpressed with Norway, and all three agree that Benny Cristo is great and that Croatia might have given us our first Eurovision diva moment.

Songs featured:


Voilà! We’re back!



Your favorite American Eurovision podcasters are back for season FOUR! (Can you believe it??) We finally have the first four songs of this year’s Eurovision season to share our thoughts on, so come join the gang as they give their takes on the entries from Albania, Israel, France, and Lithuania!

Eurofan Home Concert – Part 5!



A big thank you to everyone who participated in our first four Eurofan Home Concerts! It’s been an incredible journey so far, and it’s time to bring it to a close. Yes, the 5th Eurofan Home Concert will be our last, so let’s go out with a BANG! (a la Maruv, of course).

Want in? Send a video of you covering your favorite Eurovision song to starspangledeurovision@gmail.com by Tuesday, September 22nd! Please include your name (and/or twitter handle) and your country. When submitting your video, we’ve noticed that Dropbox and WeTransfer work best, but if you’re using google, just make sure you give us permission to access the video!

Some things to keep in mind while making your video:

  • You can perform the song however you want! Acapella, karaoke, playing your own instruments, original dances, we’ll accept it all. Just make sure we can hear you over the music.
  • Feel free to briefly introduce yourself and tell us where you’re from and why you chose the song you did! Just keep the video under 4 minutes.
  • Do NOT cover “Euphoria”! We’re tired of hearing it. In fact, the more out of left field your cover is the better! Keep it to official Eurovision entries though for now.
  • Don’t be shy! Belt your lungs out, reach for those high notes, and improvise however you want. We don’t care if you’re good, just have fun! Plus, extra points for costumes and Eurovision decor.

Thanks in advance for participating, and we’re really looking forward to hearing your voices! We’re sure they’re lovely…
