Show Notes

We know what you're thinking - why hasn't my favourite republican podcast done an episode about the KEY event in the communist calendar: The Eurovision Song Contest?! It's TOMORROW NIGHT and THEY HAVEN'T SPOKEN ON IT YET - WELL WORRY NO MORE!!! HERE IT IS!!!!!!
We talk everything from Johnny Logan to Dana, the American influence to the growing stalinisation of the competition, Riverdance to the event's typically European centrist claim of being "unpolitical" (and thus being explicitly political). We answer the question on everyone's lips: how big an impact did Dustin the Turkey have on the Lisbon Treaty? And finally we shine a much needed spotlight on Eurovision's elusive Soviet cousin: Intervision. DUN DUN DUN
Enjoy, don't cancel us x
