Show overview

Nul Points: A Eurovision Fan Podcast has been publishing since 2019, and across the 6 years since has built a catalogue of 174 episodes. That works out to roughly 70 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.

Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 22 min and 28 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language TV & Film show.

The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1 year ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 56 episodes published.
