    How Australia secured a continued future in Eurovision

    There have been ups and downs for Australia at Eurovision in recent years as we struggled to gain points from European fans in the popular vote, and the competition was rocked by the Covid pandemic. But just when things were looking precarious, Voyager arrived in 2023 to reignite the flame. We wrap up this series with Voyager's Danny Estrin, Eurovision academic Associate Professor Jess Carniel, and Blink TV's Paul Clarke.

    How Australia’s early success at Eurovision kept us coming back

    Australia first got into the Eurovision Song Contest as a one-off wildcard entry, but we had to prove ourselves to be able to stay.

In this episode, hear from Dami Im herself, Eurovision academic Associate Professor Jess Carniel, and Blink TV's Paul Clarke.
