In honor of Halloween, we’ve got Biqtch Puddin’ of the Boulet Brothers Dragula talking spooky songs with us! Some classic dark-sided jams, some creepy lyrical content, and an absolute evisceration of an Oscar favorite. Take a listen… if you dare! maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

psa for british podcast fans: a @maximumfun.org subscribtion is increasingly good value; my $10 sub was £8.14 in january, now it's £7.51! i suspect this is not a good indicator for the american economy as a whole, but it does support artist-owned podcasts so why not sign up?

We’re courting controversy with this week’s episode by picking songs we think need to be shelved (just for a bit!) in favor of other worthy songs from the ESC songbook. The main offender? Waterloo. We suggest our own replacements, but feel free to offer up your own! maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

Psst… to all our MaxFun backers, check your BoCo feed for this month’s But Enough About Eurovision Already. We have a nice long chat about… well, you’ve probably already watched it. And if you haven’t, it’s probably in your queue. It’s a fun one!

This week’s episode is about our favorite Eurovision documentary, Dax’s Eurovision, a 2006 documentary by BBC3 about Dax Sampson, the UK competitor. It’s incredible, and we’re joined by @ogaeireland.bsky.social’s president Frank once more to discuss this masterpiece. maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

We’ve got a really fascinating look at Eurovision songwriting camps this week with Norway’s own Mathilde SPZ!

Have you ever wondered how long the longest Eurovision song is? Waaayyy too long (in our opinion). This week, we’ve got a whole episode about Eurovision records - most expensive outfit, most years without winning, and yes, longest song. Take a listen here! maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

We’ve got an all-new recap for ESC 2015 with the hilarious @rossbryant.bsky.social joining us! It’s the last time Vienna hosted the contest, and the last time the UK sent electro-swing. Balkan ballads, avant-garde dance, and anti-booing tech - that’s Eurovision, baby! maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

We’re back! Just in time for Eurovision New Year, we’re covering the BBC’s celebration of 60 years of the contest, Eurovision’s Greatest Hits! Not a Snoop Dogg or a Kelly Clarkson in sight - it’s Graham Borton and Petra Mede, thank God. Link in the show notes! maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

We’ve finally reached the end of the American Song Contest, and the finale actually delivers some great performances! There’s also some military-grade cringe, but isn’t that why we watch sometimes? We’ll be back to our beloved ESC next week, but until then, enjoy! maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

The American Song Contest rolls on as we finish out the qualifiying rounds and cruise right through both semifinals on this week's episode. A near ethnobop from American Samoa? A TSwift clone from Michigan? Sisqo?! That's the ASC, baby! maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

The pick is in - it's Vienna for ESC 2026! Hope to see you all there!

With yesterday's disheartening Colbert news and today's deeply cruel gutting of our beloved PBS & NPR, maybe consider killing your Paramount+ subscription in favor of PBS Passport? www.pbs.org/passport/lea...

We’re going all the way back to the beginning this week, as we return to 1956 with special guest Bridger Winegar to take a listen to the great granddaddy of them all, the very first Eurovision. We’re shocked how many ESC traditions start on day one! maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

This is to say: a new episode of our backer-only show, But Enough About Eurovision Already, is out today! And we’re talking about anime, a subject all three of us still love. Check it out, or consider backing the show if you want this episode and even more BoCo! maximumfun.org/join/

We’re taking a look at songs that didn’t make it to the Grand Final but absolutely deserved to in an episode titled, “How Did This Not Qualify?” Naturally we couldn’t cover all the injustices of 20+ years of semis, so let us know who we missed! maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

It’s Juneteenth once again, which means we once again have the fantastic Sequoia Holmes of Black People Love Paramore joining us to talk black artists in Eurovision! So many good singers and as a counterpoint, one song that does not pass the test of time. maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

Eurovision has only ever been canceled once, and for good reason: in 2020. But all of the songs had already been selected, so we had @jordanmorris.bsky.social on the show to talk through our favorites and least favorites, and who might have won! maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

A gentler, more relaxed episode of Eurovangelists this week, as we reflect on our time in Basel… at least until we get to the Euro Club. maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

How are you even following the ins and outs of Eurovision if you’re not listening to this baller podcast?

Hey @nafpaktitism.bsky.social! We made a fresh set this year, but we’re happy to share your as well as ours - heck, if you’re hosting, give everyone at your parties one of each! drive.google.com/file/d/12aft...

We’re in Basel and we’re having a blast! But we were totally bowled over by some of the performances in Semi 1. Needless to say, you should watch Semi 1 before listening if you’d prefer to go in fresh. Enjoy the ep, and look for us in the audience of Semi 2! maximumfun.org/episodes/eur...

Bring back Eurocat!

Definitely some surprises tonight! Our thoughts on Semi 1 will be out Thursday morning, assuming Jeremy doesn’t pass out from jet lag while editing.
