Judge, Jury and Good Judies

We Came, We Saw, We Kanted

Jules survived her VERY FIRST Eurovision Song Contest! And over the course of our 5am starts, we saw way more than just three sets of each other's pyjamas. Now that our body clocks have gone back to normal, we're ready to cover our favourite moments from Eurovision 2025 - the highs and the lows, the poupees and the poison cakes, the controversies and the kantroveries. We get into some iconic dance moves from Eurovisions past that had our Bucks well and truly Fizzing, and take a moment to reflect on the most epic Battle of the Bangers we've ever seen. This ep is the perfect antidote to your ESC withdrawals - and though we may not have been completely united by music, at the end of the day we can at least try to shake it off and enjoy a royalty-free sauna together. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Cramming For (Grand) Finals

Before Jules locks in for her first ever Eurovision, there’s some last minute prep to make sure she has everything she needs. First up, Jules and Gen check out some 2025 songs in the “um, what?” basket and their ESC predecessors, Gen shares a few entries from her box of favourites…and then the needle on the nonsense meter goes into total overdrive as Jules tests her knowledge of what to expect from the contest with a round of ‘What Happens Next?’. In a final test of stamina (and sanity) before a marathon weekend of early starts, consider this the last chance to cram for (grand) finals. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Spilling The (do re mi fa so la) Tea

Jules and Gen are nearing the summit of Mount Eurovision..and the air is getting mighty thin! In this episode, Cat Lady and Dog Woman look at a few more 2025 entries they’ll be barracking for, cover the ‘kant’ries involved and why the heck Australia is even here (short answer: we love it SO MUCH, please and thank you!). Then they delve into sixty nine years of Eurovision Song Contest Controversies. From yodelling Romanians sliding into your DMs to naked Belarusians and…troubling camera angles - this ep spills all the do re mi fa so la tea of the ESC. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Judge, Jury and Good Judies

Jules is well and truly up Eurovision Creek, but Gen is here to help her paddle. Exploring songs with their spiritual home in Eurovision (and the acts she didn’t know actually came from Eurovision in the first place), Jules and Gen then set off down the rapids of the judging process, juries, and what on earth The Big Five even is. From the highs of the 400 Club, and the lows of the single digit club, with a quick sidestep to Miriana’s kanty qualifier, today’s journey is enough to give you whiplash… but we reckon you can handle it. Strap on your life jacket and get ready to be hit with Numa Numas, boxing crocodiles, sax machines and lazy Susans. And remember: wherever you are, you’re never more than 100m away from an 80s dance Smeagol. Always. Be. Prepared. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

How Do You Douze?

Jules has fallen in love with Malta's 2025 Eurovision entry, Miriana Conte's 'Serving'. But to really get her bearings in the 'kant'down to Eurovision, she'll need an experienced travel guide. Bona fide Eurovision tragic Gen is here to help her decipher the weird and wonderful world of ding dongs, la las, sexy doily pirates and singing garbage turkeys. Today they cover the official rules of Eurovision, introduce the queen of Kant, and dip their toe into an unofficial rule, getting them a few steps closer to understanding how to snag the ever-important Douze Points in the world's most fabulous song contest. It's a long way to the summit of Mount Eurovision, but the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single kant. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
