Pleasing the home crowd

The the first of two related podcasts I look at the songs that are sung on home turf - the year after they win. There is a certain freedom with coming after a country's win.

As many Eurovision fans know it is quite rare for a country to win on home turf. In these modern times, as Eurovision has become bigger and more expensive, countries might try a little less hard to win again!

We have a number of songs through the decades - some more memorable and successful than others.
Next time, the second part of this theme will look specifically at 6 times winners Sweden and looking at the songs that entertained their home crowd. I may also look back the the recent editions of Melodifestivalen and try and figure out what might be turning up in Stockholm
