Eurovision Division

Well, folks. If you thought we'd be demoralized by losing a full episode, you're not wrong. However, if you thought we'd stay in hiding forever, guess again, because like Sanja Vucic/The Terminator said: "I'll be back". We are like that, because we too, are back. Join us for a happy 2021, as we continue to wrap up our discussion of 2020's obsolete tunes. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I need someone to explain why rumore the song "Fai Rumore" keeps making me cry rumore. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well folks, you will be visited by three songs tonight! Three women with big voices will belt right into your face! (This is irresponsible, please wear a mask and keep your distance.) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Join us as we unravel the mysteries surrounding these three songs, and we answer such fascinating questions as "How do you want me to talk like an Englishman?" and "What's more terrifying, space or the ocean?" See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks? Did somebody order a wake-up call?! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks... how've you been holding out for the past six months? You'd be forgiven for thinking we died, but turns out, we've survived. We've emerged from our little caves and we're ready to move on and let go of... all the bad things. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks - took a surprisingly long time to edit this episode, because it meant I'd have to listen to these songs again, and if you listen to this episode, you'll find out why we didn't really want to do that. At all. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks. What's, what's, what do you want me to say? Nowadays, who really knows what to expect anymore? We continue on our leisurely exploration of this year's Eurovision Songs and, wouldn't you know it, we spend most of the time actually talking about other songs and our dog. At least with us, you'll know what to expect. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks! The year 2020 certainly isn't making a great case for its own existence. So if it's cool with everyone, we could just sit this one out as something of a test run and just take 2020 from the top again in about 8 months or so.Of course, we're all going to continue aging, even if it's not what we thought it would be. For Mira's birthday, we listen to a few songs about age and experience, about growing older and flipping off the world for letting that happen the way it does. You know, light, fun topics.

Well, folks! It's 2020, and we have a dog! She's right there, in the background, snoring on our couch, barely loud enough to be audible, but loud enough to disturb us while we're in the middle of a sentence. We don't even have all of the songs in this year's contest yet, so we decided to experiment with a new concept and see how much of a disturbance the little mutt would be.

Well, folks. Tamta said "time is moving slowly", but we have evidence toward the contrary, as Eurovision is upon us. It is both sad and joyous that, with these final three songs, we have finished talking about all the songs in time for the jury rehearsals. We would like to thank you all for listening.

Well, folks. Listening to these songs, you might not say it, but the year is 2019. We explore what it's like to remember the early 2000's and figure out our own formative years. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks. We've achieved the impossible - we've empathized with a man. Truly groundbreaking! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks. You knew it was coming. Every year a handful of people take their second shot at Eurovision, and we talk about some of them for you on this episode. But are any of them coming back with a vengeance, and is a victory eminent for one of these second-timers? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks. What is there to say? We just don't find these songs very memorable. However, will you find this episode memorable? It's possible! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks. There are many reason why a person would don black clothes and proceed to scream. We have four such acts doing four such things, and we try to figure out what makes them scream - be it defiance, resentment, anguish or hatred. Ironically, there's a song called "Scream" in this year's Song Contest, and hey, it doesn't even feature on this episode. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks, here's what's up. Today, we're talking about another four songs from this year's Eurovision Song Contest, and we answer a very important question about each one, namely: "does it slap?" See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks, sometimes you have multiple horses in the same race. We talk about two songwriters who have multiple songs in the competitions. Please don't share this episode with Laurell Barker. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks! It's been too long, and yes, we have about three quarters of the songs left to discuss. That's why in this episode, we talk about Denmark, Norway, Portugal and Israel's entries for the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv. Oh, and we pepper in some amusing (hopefully) stories about our airplane antics. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, folks - the year is 2069 and that has some pretty heavy implications. Our consciousness has been assimilated into the emotion vortex, where there are sad reacts only. It has become impossible to enjoy anything. However, a faceless megacorporation is offering a revolutionary app to change our lingering feelings of sadness into feelings of warmth and mirth. We must keep our phones turned on at all times, to benefit from the effects of CMFRT-ZONE. Yes, it will allow their satellites to accurately track everything about us, but it's a small price to pay for the service they provide us; to guarantee that we can and will like things. Because that is the CMFRT-ZONE slogan, "yes, you're going to like it". See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
