Episode 68: Live from Basel, Part 1

We've crossed the pond and made our way to the intersection of France, Germany and Switzerland to bring you all the latest straight from Eurovision 2025, and oh boy is there plenty bring you from Semi-Final 1. There were huge glow-ups, a glow-down, potential new front-runners - everything you could hope for from the "easy" Semi-Final. Jeremy takes a nibble of a dangerous dessert, Dimitry awards a perfect performance to one of the acts, and Oscar rejoins his digital brethren once more. Watch Semi-Final 1 on Peacock, YouTube, or your local public broadcaster!
