This week’s podcast is a special Eurovision edition featuring resident Eurovision expert, Kaija Straumanis.<\/a> We go through a bunch of the videos\/songs participating in this year’s competition<\/a> and make fun of almost everything while also trying to come to understand why Eurovision is so compelling in its bizarreness. To follow along with our comments, I highly recommend watching the videos below as you listen to the podcast—it will greatly enhance your listening experience. <\/p>\n

And for more info on what Eurovision is and how it works, check out the posts by our other resident Eurovision expert Janis Stirna.<\/a><\/p>\n
