Eurovoix Wrap-Up: Hello, Mr President

The Eurovoix Podcast is back with another packed episode with everything that has happened in Eurovision this September and more.

Franciska van Waarden is your host as we have the honour of speaking to Dr. Conradin Cramer, the President of the cantonal government of Basel-Stadt. 

In an exclusive interview, he spoke to James Stephenson about the city’s plans for hosting the contest, the challenges that come with it and how exciting it is to have the Eurovision Song Contest at your doorstep.

We also have a look at the national and internal selection news, including Greece's new national final, while we try to find out why countries change their selection method. There's also an update on everything you need to know about the upcoming Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Madrid this November.

You'll find all that and more on a brand-new Eurovoix Podcast – the latest Eurovision news, wherever you are.
