Author: JOY 94.9 - LGBTI, LGBTIQA+, LGBTQIA+, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGB, Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Intersex, Queer Podcasts for all our Rainbow Communities May 31, 2025 Duration: 57:51

It’s that time, when we say goodbye to Eurovision for another year.

Michael and Io traipse into (the old school version of) Euroclub to let their hair down, enjoy a boogie, have a drink and share some goss as Season 2025 comes to a close.

Hear from some national finals we never got to, find out what the latest voting dramas are up to, and enjoy Te Deum one last time.

What’s in the water in Lithuania?

Can Stefan Raab ever step away?

And what the hell actually did happen?

There's a particular kind of glitter that doesn't wash off for months, and a specific enthusiasm that arrives every spring. JOY Eurovision lives in that space year-round. More than just a recap show when the contest lights up our screens, this podcast dives deep into the music, the politics, and the sheer spectacle that makes Eurovision a global phenomenon for the LGBTIQA+ communities and allies who cherish it. You'll hear from the team at JOY 94.9 as they break down the latest news, analyze the competing entries with a keen ear, and share the unique perspectives that come from a rainbow community for whom Eurovision has always felt like a home. Expect thoughtful commentary, lively debates, and interviews with people who are just as passionate about the contest's history and its future. It’s for anyone who knows the lyrics to a losing entry from 2007, who debates the merits of a key change, and who believes the song contest is a vibrant, evolving celebration of diversity and pop culture. Tune in to find your people and get the full story behind the performances.
