Eurovangelists

Three opinions aren't enough for the 2024 class of Eurovision videos, so the Eurovangelists brought in Worldvishawn to get a fourth perspective on what videos stuck out this year. Jeremy can't wait for his talharpa lesson, Dimitry's got an incindiary postcard to share, Oscar's starting to groove to those doomsday blues, and Shawn has cracked the code.

We bring a true Eurovision expert, Tobias Larsson, on the show to tell us all about the swinging teen queen of 60s Eurovision, France Gall, and all the cinematic events of her life in the contest and beyond. Jeremy's making connections across time and space, Oscar's worried about the basement dads, Dimitry's a fan of a late period tribute by France Gall, and Tobias dishes on all his favorites for this year's contest.

Our most received question is finally answered with this episode-long response, featuring not only the party-throwing wisdom of the Eurovangelists, but also the UK party expertise of Lindsey Kelk from MaxFun's Tights and Fights! Jeremy's putting together international charcuterie, Dimitry advocates for one slightly larger prize, Oscar's searching for "the note," and Lindsey can't be trusted at a Eurovision party.

Sweden is hosting this year's contest in Malmö, but it's not the first time: each of the their seven previous winners get a moment on this week's episode. Jeremy relives the magic of the early 90s, Oscar casts a spell using martial arts, and Dimitry demands respect for Charlotte.

Now that all the entries are out for Eurovision 2024, including the last three internal selections, we compare our personal Top Ten lists and debate who's likely to make the Grand Final and who's going home early. Jeremy still doesn't know anything about these drugs, Oscar just won't behave, and Dimitry's so bored with it all.

This week, it's Portugal's Festival da Canção and Sweden's Melodifestivalen 2024, plus the internal selections from Australia and Greece. Jeremy finds a fellow city pop stan, Oscar stands up for mom songs, and Dimitry's yearning for a more manic, madcap Melfest.
