Episode 80: American Song Contest, Weeks 1 & 2

The time has finally come: the Eurovangelists have gone American... American Song Contest, that is! We're spending the month of August covering one of our most requested topics: NBC's 2022 attempt to create an American version of the ESC. We're recapping the entire thing, so listen along to the show that could very well have become an American institution (probably not). Jeremy's got hometown pride, Dimitry has flashbacks to episode 1, and Oscar's crushing on boys with million dollar smoothies.Watch the first two episodes of ASC here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RyPo0MDjoJgr0v0iYPE-oYEO4H5ugbRy?usp=sharingThis week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5Bnb8fgTY32KYCmIzvVFJK Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's MaxFunDrive!
