There were huge glow-ups, a glow-down, potential new front-runners – everything you could hope for from the “easy” Semi-Final.

Episode notes We are at last joined by perhaps the most illustrious guest in the American Eurovision firmament, the co-host of NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour and Eurovision fan extraordinaire Glen Weldon.

Episode notes We’ve got a returning guest this week in ESC Youtuber & TikToker Worldvishawn, but this time he’s here as a songwriter of “Stormchaser,” the incredible track by Icelandic artist Birgo from Söngvakeppnin 2025. We talk with the two about how they become collaborators and the months-long process of writing the song, submitting it to Iceland’s national final, shooting the video and performing in Söngvakeppnin 2025.

Episode notes All of this year’s official music videos are out, so the Eurovangelists have enlisted pop culture aficionado Dave Holmes (Troubled Waters, Who Killed The Video Star, MTV) to weigh in on which videos from this year’s crop of entrants are Top 10, and which videos are not gonna see much air time. We also talk about who might take it all in this year that feels more wide open than in years past.
