DVVH on the BBC

On Friday, the day before Eurovision, I returned to BBC Radio Bristol to talk to Steve Yabsley about this year's Eurovision song contest. For those of you who remember I did the same last year and was asked back again this year!

As you will see I made some fairly insightful predictions...!

Here is the  BBC iplayer link -  http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02r42zy - however I will put up a file of the audio some time soon. My bit is about 30mins in :)

SOA 2015 episode 5

It's the last episode of Shite or Alright and so here ends our 2015 Eurovision journey... until we al get pissed off about who qualifies and then one someone shit or predictable wins.... XD

 During this podcast we uncover a few home truths..
Who has Måns Zelmerlöw been taking singing lessons from?
What did Mørland do in his early youth?
How much does Mr Jopijedd not like Azerbaijan?
When will Eurovision be renamed "The Voice of Eurovision" ?
What did Mr Jopijedd think happened to Junior Eurovision contestants once the show is over?

And we unveil our overall winner - which now has been given the kiss of death and fail by getting a DNQ...

SOA 2015 episode 4

We start as we mean to go on by starting with a really inappropriate introduction... in the meaning that it is totally untrue!

There is some excitement as we celebrate a very lonely key change, @mrs_forky gets very angry at @jopijedd for not liking one of her favourite songs... we also get a bit UKIP (in a very ironic way) but most of all we spend most of the time wondering what the songs sound like in a non-plagiaristic way of course...

If you know what Plaid Cymru is you might get one of the jokes. we do far too many Mrs Brown-esque "that's nice", we segue into "Czarna Dziewczyna" for no reason whatsoever and Squirt gets quite gurgly in the second half and seemingly joins in by headbanging to one of the songs!

Plus - VRT - if you are by any chance listening, we suggest who Belgium needs to send or at least write their entry next year... PLEASE...!

This podcast has 2 very odd adverts but its also brought to you by Yazz and the ministry of Hot Mess.

SOA 2015 episode 3

Another 8 entries are put through the wringer by @mrs_forky and @jopijedd !

This week starts off on a topical note with a late election result... any similarity to any real political parties referenced in the sketch is of course totally co-incidental...

This podcast brings up many issues...
How many gimmicks is too many?
Should anybody be able to do Eurovision?
Can a song be too earnest?
Does anybody else know of Rolando the opera singer bloke?

We also have more TOP QUALITY* adverts

*possibly not....

One country in this episode gets a full 10 points - will that be matched in the final 2 episodes...?

SOA 2015 episode 2

More silliness, more pointless adverts and this time ACTUAL baby noises! He does exists everyone!!!

This episode starts of with a random special guest... or is it...?
Lots of silliness to be had during the podcast but mostly we end up posing many a meaningful, and not so meaningful, question.. Most of which have answers far from our grasp...

Which song helped us create our own 'forgotten' girl supergroup?
Which song needs to restyle itself as a dance track?
Which act do we imagine Princess Charlotte would like?
Which song do we think is a bit Studio Brussel?
Which duet make me think of 3-2-1?
Which act is more SUBO than ASBO?
Which song is Vince Clarke circa 1995?

SOA 2015 episode 1

Better late than never but here is our first of 5 "Shite or Alright" podcasts showcasing this year's 40 eurovision entries about the battle it out in Vienna!

@mrs_forky and @jopijedd are back for another year but this year we have an extra voice on the podcast as our brand new baby son Marcus (also known colloquially as Squirt) gurgles and coos away in the background. He is surprisingly chilled out during this episode - don't expect it to be like this EVERY podcast!

We start as we mean to go and and actually end up not saying very much at all about anything... except for making random and quite narrow cultural references
