Show Notes

With more and more songs being selected for Eurovision in Basel, we debate a hot topic at the contest with a member of the Reference Group. Icelandic Head of Delegation Felix Bergsson joins us to discuss his act for Switzerland - VÆB - and his own personal feelings on whether we should see the juries return to the semi-finals.


And with another busy weekend in store, we're joined by another wishlist guest, Eurovision songwriter Julie Aagaard, aka. Kill J. She explains how the songwriting process works, what really happens at a songwriting camp, and how you cope with the stressful selection season.
