Eurovoix Wrap-Up: The Journey to Basel Begins

Hello, stranger - after a summer off, the Eurovoix Podcast is back for Eurovision 2025!

On our first show of a brand-new Eurovision year, we find out about our new host city of Basel, discuss Montenegro returning to the contest, and chat about all the other big news you might have missed over the last few months in the world's biggest song contest.

As the fallout from Eurovision 2024 continues, Eurovoix's James Stephenson and Sem Anne van Dijk speak to GJ Kooijman and ESC Gabe about the latest developments in the Netherlands and Joost Klein's situation after his disqualification in Malmö in May.

And, there was a whole other Eurovision last month - Eurovision Young Musicians! Neil Farren was watching on, and he spoke to some of the musicians themselves, including contest winner Leonard Baumgartner from Austria.

There's all that and more on a brand-new Eurovoix Podcast - new season, new theme music, same Wrap-Up.
