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.
