Episode 126: Bulgaria's Eurovision History - Bust, Boom, & Bangaranga

We're still riding the high of Dara's win from this year's contest, but how close had Bulgaria come to the glass microphone before? Pretty close... and very far, depending on the year. We're looking at all of Bulgaria's Eurovision entries since joining in 2005, and there seems to be a pattern of high highs and low lows for the country. Jeremy sees through the Illusion, Dimitry's all in on a Poli lifestyle, and Oscar needs there to be a little less screaming.  Get a local's guide to Sofia for 2027 courtesy of our friend Manuela: https://www.excedotravel.com/eurovision-2027-sofia-survival-guide/ Watch the performances from this week's episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6rnAKD1QuU&list=PLd2EbKTi9fyX4JEYjGWtFarPpIWz4Ja9k&pp=sAgC This week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0pfP1bB5ujZIEPu2yCiUzj Help support this show and unlock bonus content!
