Without a doubt the best Eurovision podcast in the world!
They’re *hilarious* and they know Eurovision better than anyone else who covers it. Plus they stand up for the boycotting countries, which more people should be doing.

A Eurovision podcast for everyone
It does not matter if you're a novice or an expert on all things Eurovision - this light-hearted, conversational podcast is for you. Every episode is insightful, informative, easy to listen to, and just plain fun. If you'vre looking for something to listen to during the Eurovision season, or to get you through the doldrums of the off-season, look no further. Highly recommended.

Funny & Informative!
While this may technically be a music podcast, Dimitry, Jeremy & Oscar make me laugh every bit as much as my favorite comedy podcasts. It was their humor that drew me to check out this podcast after hearing them on another show, but all the awesome music, history, news and drama has kept me coming back for more! Despite living in Europe for a year in my youth, I was only slightly aware of the Eurovision Song Contest, but listening to Eurovangelists has brought me up to speed and introduced me (and my family) to what is now one of our favorite pastimes.

Beginner friendly!
Don’t worry if you’re kinda new to Eurovision and not ready yet to make it your whole personality. I gave this a try while watch my first ever Eurovision and I became a huge fan of it and this podcast. They never talk over my head!

Weekly Must!
I had never heard of Eurovision except for the US movie. Once my husband told me it was real I laughed! Then I found this podcast and thought I would give it a listen.
I now look forward to Thursdays and hearing about the artists, the drama, the diversity, and variety that is Eurovision! It is easy to listen to and the hosts are fun and engaging. Thank you for this podcast!

Fun mix
This podcast is a great mixture of silliness, sass, and information.

Very bad
Eurovision sucks and so does this podcast.

Approachable!
I knew nothing about Eurovision until I heard an ad of theirs on MaxFun. The ad worked and now I am a Eurovision fan! My only complaint is that I like to listen to podcasts at 1.25 speed and since they include music, that doesn’t feel right.

Great Podcast, But Could Use More Balance
I enjoy listening to Eurovangelists and appreciate the hosts’ passion and insights into Eurovision. Most of the time, the commentary is engaging and entertaining. However, there are occasions when the criticism of contestants feels overly negative and personal without much context. For example, a performer was once described as both a “terrible singer” and a “terrible person” without any explanation to support those remarks.
Additionally, while Eurovision is traditionally intended to be non-political, the podcast sometimes leans heavily into political discussions, which can overshadow the music and performances. A bit more balance between political commentary and celebration of the contest itself would make the show even stronger.

Cannot overstate how great this show is for Eurovision newbies and established Eurovision junkies. It’s funny, interesting, and smart. Many of my friends have been gently bullied into listening and now follow too - listen and bully your own friends for the greater good of being United by Music!

A Eurovision Podcast for ANYONE!
Great show! Doesn’t matter if you’re a big fan of ESC or new to the whole thing, Oscar, Dimitry, and Jeremy make it so easy to get hooked. It’s like listening to my funniest, wittiest friends talk about Eurovision!

Already Planning My 2026 Eurovision Party
After years of loving camp but not understanding Eurovision I caught the finale this past Saturday and I was Eurovision-pilled .Then I heard Oscar mention Eurovangelists on my beloved Drag Her and I raced to listen to episodes. From discussion of the diasporic voting blocs and the diva vote divide to the assertion that Remember Monday “look like they vape” this was the context and humor I needed to be truly hooked on Eurovision. I’m already mentally prepping a 2026 Eurovision party and eagerly await the Basel debriefs.

A great way to learn about the ESC.
I had heard about Eurovision but like so many things with a deep history and lore it’s hard to know where to start. Dimitry, Jeremy and Oscar do a great job of getting their listeners ready for the upcoming contest while educating everyone about its history. It is a fun and interesting way to learn about the ESC! 5 stars all the way.

Totally Amazing!!
Recently got into Eurovision, and while I was already super into it, I was wishing to know more about the history and context of the competition!!
I am a staunch no previous information Eurovision watcher so I go media black out (including this podcast 😭) on Eurovision content after songs start coming out, and then naw on all the content until the next competition

My virtual Eurovision Village
Eurovangelists has provided a welcoming community that I never knew existed - never knew I would REQUIRE!
My husband and I accidentally stumbled into the world of Eurovision. We saw the delightfully stupid Will Ferrell movie in 2023 and then thought it would be "hilarious" to "go to Eurovision."
Months later, in May 2024, we found ourselves packed for an international trip to Malmo, Sweden, clutching our VIP-experience tickets to the Semi-Final Round 1 rehearsal.
Unbeknownst to us, our lives would be irrevocably changed that fateful May afternoon - along with those blissful surrounding days as we basked in the joy of the Eurovision Village and its charming EuroFans.
We had obtusely and naively stumbled into a Brave New World we never knew existed.
Afterwards, we departed Sweden with an invisible connection to this new world - and we grieved when we returned to a country devoid of Eurovision.
At home, those whom we loved most were - shockingly! - either unwilling or unable to tolerate us going on about how life-changing Eurovision was. Few even knew the contest existed, and most didn't care!
For a time, I lived a sad, disconnected life, tucking my Euro-joy inside and becoming irate when people talked to me about anything other than Eurovision.
And then I found Eurovangelists. And I found home.
I am so psyched to start a fresh new "Eurovision year" ( my new way of marking time on this earthly realm ) with Jeremy, Oscar and Dimitry. I delight in their knowledge, silliness and camaraderie they add to this virtual American-based version of the Eurovision Village.
Thank you, Eurovangelists!

If I could give 14 points, I would.
The greatest podcast about the greatest song contest in the world. Fall in love with Eurovision, Dimity, Oscar, and Jeremy. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll yell at your radio at the injustices, and celebrate the victories with glitter and wind machines.

I can’t get enough
I can’t get enough Eurovision and I can’t get enough of this podcast!
Three dynamic superfan hosts fearlessly dive DEEP into the music, the history, the queerness, the artistry, the gossip, the impact, the entirety of this shamelessly weird, beautifully complicated geopolitical and psychosexual tapestry that we call Eurovision - the greatest song contest in the world.
Get on board.

Is there a better niche music podcast?
A really fun journey into the lore and legends of Eurovision! I’d only caught part of a couple of Eurovisions, so I was a casual fan at best, but these folks have so much fun and are so well informed that it was easy to get on board for ESC 2024. Really enjoying the deep dives into ESCs past on the off-season, keep ‘em coming!
I came to the show because I already loved two out of three hosts from their appearances on other podcasts (Jeremy from Mission to Zyxx and Oscar from guesting on Teen Creeps) and now I’m delighted to say I love all three.

Too Much Fun
These guys are so good together AND they have entirely too much Fun!

Love it - but playlists on another platform?
I adore this show, and have been trying to get friends into it ever since I first I saw Eurovision clips (Moskau, anyone?) and then started watching annually. This podcast has hooked me into the much deeper culture and history of Eurovision that exists - it’s turned a three night event into a whole season!
The hosts also post accompanying playlists on Spotify, but hey lovely hosts! Could you post on Apple Music as well for those of us not on spotify? It’ll help ensure all Eurovision artists get somewhat better pay than Spotify alone.

Call me a Eurovangetical
Perfect for newbies who want to sound slightly more informed in the gay bar OR Eurovision die hards who want to yell at their phone and fight with the host’s opinions.

Plunge into the Euro-weirdness!
This podcast is the perfect initiation into the completely bonkers musical maelstrom that is Eurovision! I knew almost nothing about Eurovision before my friend told me about this podcast, but now I am Euro-confident and seriously hyped for the big event.
Massive thanks to Jeremy, Oscar, and Dimitry for such a perfect podcast! Love Love Peace Peace!

Love it
I love the great analysis and interesting trivia about Eurovision. And who knew that the most insightful perspective on the war in Gaza would come from a Eurovision podcast?! But it’s true - thank you so much for your thoughts and information around that. I can’t WAIT for this years contest! Baby Lasagna all the way!!

Eurovangelists is NOT just another Eurovision podcast; it’s an incredibly entertaining, insightful and unique perspective on the greatest show on earth! In its debut year it has managed to establish a cult following amongst die hard Eurovision fans like myself whilst also serving as a very accessible and entertaining gateway for non Europeans who might be new to the contest. Douze points for Dimitry, Oscar and Jeremy!

Lovely people, lovely listen
The Eurovangelists are kind and thoughtful. And funny! Insightful!
Their perspectives on Israel in the contest have been so helpful. I’m still not sure about watching but I feel I have help thinking about it - and all the politics that swirl around the ESC.
I will definitely keep listening!

The Rosetta Stone of a very specific European television show
After having Eurovision described at me at various stages of my life, it was refreshing to find a podcast that could explain what was going on in Eurovision in a way I could understand as an American audience. I’ll definitely be watching 2024!

The Best Part of the Week!
I'm not really a podcast person, but I cannot get enough of Eurovangelists! I get excited every Thursday when a new episode is out; it is a bright spot to my week! The hosts are funny, insightful, genuine, and interesting. I had heard of Eurovision from a Father Ted episode, and a friend made me watch Eurovision 2023. Because of this podcast, I rewatched the 2023 Semi-finals, I have followed along with all of the National Finals, I have fallen in love with many of the songs for 2024, and I am already planning a Eurovision 2024 party. It is a thrill to find something new and lovely in the world. I highly recommend Eurovangelists!

The Eurovision podcast I wanted
A practically perfect podcast for the Eurovision-curious listener. The hosts are experienced, knowledgeable, and have great conversational chemistry. I’m definitely going to recommend this podcast to any of my American friends who ask “What’s Eurovision?”
I think my music playlists are also gonna get a lot longer from listening to this podcast!

Listening in 1x
This is the ONLY podcast I don’t listen to at 2x speed. I came into Eurovision the same as these guys and absolutely love it. This is a wonderful way to prepare for watching this year’s contest.

Perfection!
Love this. I have a lot of friends scattered throughout Europe, and this is the first year I feel like I can really bond with them over something they love. That’s all because of this podcast. They give me all the info I need to be part of the fun. Great host chemistry and super fun. Highly recommend.

Funny, Informative, and Accessible
As an American who only recently got into the Eurovision Song Contest, I have very few people with whom to share my MANY thoughts and opinions on this unique and wonderful annual event. Thankfully, the Eurovangelists are here to bring me all the news, goofs, and hot takes that are absent from my tragically ESC-ignorant social circle. And because it’s a podcast, they can’t hear me pausing to yell at them when they fawn over Loreen for the umpteenth time! “Euphoria” was…fine. “Tattoo” was also fine. But this podcast is better than fine! It’s great!

Start a new thang with your friends with the help of Eurovangelists!
I’ve been ESC-curious for many years and this show has given me the impetus to actually get watching! I’ve been binging the podcast this weekend and last night decided to watch some country finals with friends. Any time someone had a question about Eurovision history or mechanics - or a question about spicy drama - I had the answer because of Eurovangelists! This show is really living up to its name and allowing people to really get into the artistry and competition of Eurovision. Thank you for making such an entertaining and enlightening Podcast and I am so excited to listen along to the rest of the competition with you and the rest of the Eurovangelists fans!!!

You guys are my spirit animals!
Seriously pretty sure my significant other is sick of having to listen to me talk Eurovision and forcing her to watch people sing in languages she doesn’t know so she found this and sent it to me immediately lol. I love it for every reason you guys do. I enjoy the different approach to music than the typical American experience, I love weird songs that sound great like Cha Cha Cha give that wolf a banana, I love the exposure and I even have gotten into the national finals. My take for 2024 is the possible rise of Marcus and Martinus out of Sweden. Another set of identical twins (nothing new for Eurovision) but these guys slap, no offense to Oscar but they should’ve smoked Tattoo with Air and Melfest but I digress lol. They don’t have to compete with Loreens reputation this test so I would give them a look!!! Guys I would love to get in on these talks I know Eurovision and have some great things to throw in, if you’re ever bringing in outside opinions let me know!!

Fantastic pod!
A dear friend has been talking to me about Eurovision for years and suggested this podcast (despite knowing that I have 0% knowledge of the contest). WELP. Turns out I love listening to people talk about things I know nothing about so long as they’re having a good time. Which these folks CLEARLY are! The only thing that would make this better would be having a Eurovision virgin on to say things like “What do you mean the UK might have scored zero points because of the Iraq War?!”
