Episode 40: Eurovision 1989 Recap

Eurovangelists ·

2024/10/17

It's time for a trip back to Lausanne, Switzerland, when Eurovision boasted an extremely 80s vibe both visually and aurally. There's lots of good songs from this year, despite a preponderance of bald men with long ponytails. Jeremy's penning his own John Hughes screenplay, Dimitry thinks it's a shame about Ray, and Oscar's found the official Mom Song of 1989.Watch the entirety of ESC 1989 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUdzU3Awys4Pan's "Bana Bana" can be found here:

Episode 38: Please Don't Call It A Comeback

Eurovangelists ·

2024/10/03

Last week, we celebrated artists who returned to Eurovision to greater glory, but this week, we look at artists who came back to sadly a worse result (sometimes more than once). Let this be a lesson to any ESC artist who's considering a return in 2025: it's not always worth it. Jeremy's had it up to here with the scatting, Oscar goes to bat for the double-double, and Dimitry's hungry for some Fud.Support our listener William's 5K at Perkins School for the Blind:

Episode 37: Please Call It A Comeback

Eurovangelists ·

2024/09/26

Achieving victory in the Eurovision Song Contest takes luck as well as skill, and the competitors in this week's episode didn't luck on their side the first time. But all of them came back bigger and better for their second (or third or fourth!) time in Eurovision, so we're taking this episode to give them their due. Jeremy is not feeling these musical weirdos, Dimitry's over the moon for all these legendary Scandinavians, and Oscar proves his devotion to Mary Magdalene. Watch the great performances

Episode 36: A JoJo SiWarning - The Curse of Fame

Eurovangelists ·

2024/09/19

The Eurovangelists advise caution to JoJo Siwa as she courts the possibility of becoming the Polish entry in 2025's ESC, because famous participants from the US in the Eurovision haven't fared... great. We revisit some of the biggest names to ever take part in Eurovision, and most of them finished bottom of the pack. Jeremy's had it up to here with all the scatting, Dimitry's holding out for a hero, and Oscar could've done without Madame X.Watch all the performances (including detuned & autotuned

Eurovangelists ·

2024/09/12

It was promised in our last Postcard Party, and now it's arrived: an episode-long answer for a great listener question about how the disabled can enjoy Eurovision, and the many performers with disabilities over the years at Eurovision. While things are better than ever for Eurovision accessibility, we also point out a few ways that Basel could do an even better job. Jeremy's gone scat-mad, Oscar's crushing hard on his little angel, and Dimitry learns the surprising nickname of a Swiss soul

Eurovangelists ·

2024/08/15

Dimitry noticed that the four semi-final teams in the Euro Cup final were the same as the four countries that won Eurovision almost exactly 55 years later! Coincidence? We think not. The boys are joined by the incredible fun and funny Lennon Parham to finally settle the tie and decide who should reign supreme for 1969. Jeremy's worried for Jean Jacques' social life, Lennon thinks the subjects of songs deserve more credit, Dimitry's working his young uncle game as usual, and Oscar roots for the

Oscar's in the driver's seat as he takes us through his favorites (and maybe a least favorite) dance numbers through the years at Eurovision, and he brings along Chuck Maa, pro dancer & choreography, to give us an insider's perspective on them. Jeremy is called out for his dance bonafides, Chuck doesn't think all costumes fly in 2024, Dimitry's a master of Duolingo (just the app), and Oscar's still not done being gagged.The YouTube Playlist for this week starts with a clip of Chuck's time on

Rachel Smith joins the trio as we discuss the best (and worst) songs from this year's class of Eurovision artists they've released since their trip to Malmö.

It's hard enough to make it the big stage at the Eurovision Song Contest - in fact it's so hard, even some songs that were selected to go never actually make it there. So here's a few that didn't quite finish the race and the reasons behind their sudden disappearances. Jeremy's seeing the surprising logic in fascist dad rock, Dimitry confesses a Eurovision crush, and Oscar left his necklace at the Moscow Airport.Dimitry's made a $300 donation to the Sante D'Or Foundation thanks to your animal
