Eurovoix Wrap-Up: KAJ Beats Måns at Melfest - What the Hell Just Happened?

This week on the Eurovoix Podcast, we travel to Sweden for a Melodifestivalen match-up like no other - and chat to the winners!

Steven Heap hosts this week's Wrap-Up as Eurovision national final season draws to a close, while James Stephenson travels to Stockholm to bring you into the Melfest bubble. We catch up with KAJ and Måns Zelmerlöw throughout the contest, speak to the historic winners, and find time to sing Tattoo with Dolly Style!

We'll also bring you the reaction from Portugal and San Marino as they select their Eurovision entries, ask how far JJ and Adonxs can go with their opera-inspired songs for Austria and Czechia, and we'll take a moment to talk about Eurovision's biggest kant-roversy - why Malta will need to change their contest contender.

And, of course, we'll go over the UK's entry, What the Hell Just Happened? by Remember Monday, and start to ask what their hopes are of climbing the mountain that is the Eurovision scoreboard in Switzerland. 

So, travel to Sweden, catch up with all the latest entries, and get your Eurovision news every week - all you have to do is remember Monday and listen to Wrap-Up at 07:00 CET!
