The Eurovision Song Contest is an international song competition, organised annually by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and featuring participants representing primarily European countries. Each participating country submits an original song to be performed on live television and radio, transmitted to national broadcasters via the EBU's Eurovision and Euroradio networks, with competing countries then casting votes for the other countries' songs to determine the winner.

This is the official podcast of the Eurovision Song Contest. Host and music journalist Steve Holden talks with famous guests, but also with the singers and artists who will compete for the title in May.

But music can summon the dark as well as soothe the soul, and it's not long before Martyn is hitting more than just the keys on his synthesizer keyboard.
