Show Notes

We discuss the longer lasting consequences of last week's EBU General Assembly vote following Iceland's decision to join four other countries in quitting Eurovision 2026.


Recorded just hours after RÚV's decision, we hear from the broadcasters' Director General and debate whether other countries could join the growing boycott. After record numbers of you got in touch with your thoughts we share some of your opinions, and we're delighted to welcome Dr Barbara Leon to share her view on the impact the withdrawals could have on fans from the nations involved.
