Episode 65: The Saga of Stormchaser

We've got a returning guest this week in ESC Youtuber & TikToker Worldvishawn, but this time he's here as a songwriter of "Stormchaser," the incredible track by Icelandic artist Birgo from Söngvakeppnin 2025. We talk with the two about how they become collaborators and the months-long process of writing the song, submitting it to Iceland's national final, shooting the video and performing in Söngvakeppnin 2025. Jeremy remembers the Sporg Note, Dimitry has something nice to say about Loreen, and Oscar makes his demands of Shawn & Birgo.Birgo's Stormchaser music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpB7yTyhyZwBirgo's performance in Söngvakeppnin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZPqPG6NmPIShawn's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WorldvishawnThis week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3SbRNk2U3W9sZ27QHa65om Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's MaxFunDrive!
