It's that time again!!! Six episodes of us trying to make sense of Eurovision 2025
We roll back the clock to this time last year and try to pick up the pieces - yes it's been a year but yes IT STILL HURTS!!!! In the intro, we look at some of the tropes and memes we have to look forward to as well as some of the underlying themes this year's bunch seem to subscribe to and which countries are in our bad books... We review *most* of this year's songs and give them a score from Parasite to Meteorite!
The winner of each podcast will go through to the 'Champions of Champions' round to see what our favourite of the year is AND if we really think it has any chance of winning! (almost certainly not)
You can also play the shows directly from this blogpost OR you stream/download the shows from your podcast place of choice - including Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, Apple and many many more! If you can, please subscribe to the feed or share the links on your social media, as this will help more people find the Eurovision review podcasts. Remember, once Eurovision is over we will be back with the normal feed so why not explore as the rest of the ALBUMBLE back catalogue while you wait....? There is some Eurovision/adjacent music in there too!!! https://albumble.podbean.com/
