Eurovision Division
by Eurovision Division
Eurovision Division is a show where we listen to all of the songs in the year's Eurovision Song Contest before that year's Eurovision Song Contest. Host Jeroen has listened to all of these songs before, while his co-host and girlfriend Mira is hearing them for the very first time. We crunch the numbers, we judge the songs. We crunch our teeth, we judge eachother. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

All 37 Songs In This Year's Eurovision Song Contest
cw: discussion of homophobia & transphobia (47m - 1h:1m) And so, at long last, we reach that special point in the year when Mira takes over. They've listened to all of these songs multiple times before, and now it's their turn. With a top 37 in hand, we run through all of this years songs…

Scatman's World
And so we come to our last three songs of this year's line-up, which just so happen to be the last three songs to be revealed this year as well. What we're asking is: was it worth the wait? What we're also asking is: will Mira be able to guess exactly which three countries we are yet to visit?…

Battle of the Bands, Part Three: Dice Spice
Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you're ready for the final part of the Battle of the Bands. It's been a long night, we know, and there's, I know, listen, no, I know, but there's beer on everyone's clothes, it's not just you. Yes, yes, no, I understand it's very upsetting that someone dipped their...

If You Know, You Know
Oh, you'd better be careful, because the girlies have come out in full force. These women are trying to assert themselves as powerful individuals, but unfortunately they still have an obstacle to overcome. An ex? A ghost? A profession that undervalues their work? A mix of the three? In this...

Gender Tapas
Sit down and listen. Or, in the case of these three artists: sit down and sing! That's right. Who says you need to take a stand? You can take a seat just as well! And all three of these performers do exactly that: they sit down for a part of their performance. But it's what happens when they get…

Wise Men Say
You know what they say... don't you? Wait, what do they say? I suppose it all depends on context. You see, a raucous rave in the wild woods would warrant a different discussion than a sombre soliloquy through dusty dunes. On the other hand, surely a scorned songstress has more malicious material...

What Was The Process?
This episode is like a rollercoaster: hold on. Our opinions are like a black hole: everything is dark. This description is like paper: we cut right through, but we're stuck like glue to the concept of metaphors. In this episode, we listen to 🇪🇪 Alika - Bridges 🇨🇭 Remo Forrer - Watergun 🇸🇪...

Battle of the Bands, Part Two: Gendrebending

Pictures of Eggs Lost To Time
You know what they say: age is just a number. An ever-increasing number, seemingly ticking up faster and faster as time marches on mercilessly. In a desperate plea to make our adult lives feel less terrifying, we went to the zoo. We reminisce about our wild youths of reblogging text posts on…

To Be Fair to the Owl
We're not normally fans of pitting women against each other... but then again, this is a competition, so they know what they got themselves into. In the end, only one of these Queens can be crowned a Woman King. Who shall emerge victorious? In this episode, we listen to: 🇳🇴 Alessandra Mele -...

Battle of the Bands, Part One: Citation Needed
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our first ever Battle of the Bands. Grab your plastic cups full of beer from a tap that hasn't been cleaned in a while, and shove your way through the crowd to get right in front of the stage, cause we're presenting (and judging!) three bands today. In this…

Teeth Forward

Tumblr Brain
We just finished watching "Our Flag Means Death", which means Mira has regressed into her 15-year old self. She is desperate to find a song full of angst that would be appropriate to use as an AMV for her new favourite ship (Queen Anne's Revenge). But... will we find it in this episode? With...
