Before Jules locks in for her first ever Eurovision, there’s some last minute prep to make sure she has everything she needs. First up, Jules and Gen check out some 2025 songs in the “um, what?” basket and their ESC predecessors, Gen shares a few entries from her box of favourites…and then the needle on the nonsense meter goes into total overdrive as Jules tests her knowledge of what to expect from the contest with a round of ‘What Happens Next?’. In a final test of stamina (and sanity) before a marathon weekend of early starts, consider this the last chance to cram for (grand) finals. Hosted on Acast.

Spilling The (do re mi fa so la) Tea
Jules and Gen are nearing the summit of Mount Eurovision..and the air is getting mighty thin! In this episode, Cat Lady and Dog Woman look at a few more 2025 entries they’ll be barracking for, cover the ‘kant’ries involved and why the heck Australia is even here (short answer: we love it SO MUCH, please and thank you!). Then they delve into sixty nine years of Eurovision Song Contest Controversies. From yodelling Romanians sliding into your DMs to naked Belarusians and…troubling camera angles - this ep spills all the do re mi fa so la tea of the ESC. Hosted on Acast.

Judge, Jury and Good Judies
Jules is well and truly up Eurovision Creek, but Gen is here to help her paddle. Exploring songs with their spiritual home in Eurovision (and the acts she didn’t know actually came from Eurovision in the first place), Jules and Gen then set off down the rapids of the judging process, juries, and what on earth The Big Five even is. From the highs of the 400 Club, and the lows of the single digit club, with a quick sidestep to Miriana’s kanty qualifier, today’s journey is enough to give you whiplash… but we reckon you can handle it. Strap on your life jacket and get ready to be hit with Numa Numas, boxing crocodiles, sax machines and lazy Susans. And remember: wherever you are, you’re never more than 100m away from an 80s dance Smeagol. Always. Be. Prepared. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How Do You Douze?
Jules has fallen in love with Malta's 2025 Eurovision entry, Miriana Conte's 'Serving'. But to really get her bearings in the 'kant'down to Eurovision, she'll need an experienced travel guide. Bona fide Eurovision tragic Gen is here to help her decipher the weird and wonderful world of ding dongs, la las, sexy doily pirates and singing garbage turkeys.Today they cover the official rules of Eurovision, introduce the queen of Kant, and dip their toe into an unofficial rule, getting them a few steps closer to understanding how to snag the ever-important Douze Points in the world's most fabulous song contest. It's a long way to the summit of Mount Eurovision, but the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single kant. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Jules (co-conspirator and cackle chorus on YouTube channel, Nat’s What I Reckon) is obsessed with Malta's 2025 Eurovision entry - Miriana Conte’s ‘Serving’. Knowing nothing else about Eurovision and armed with her love of fabulous camp nonsense, her genuine curiosity and her hearty laugh, Jules has enlisted the help of her friend Gen (fellow cackler, culture writer and Eurovision Tragic) to brave the majestic and unforgiving Eurovision landscape together. In the lead up to the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest, Jules and Gen will explore the best, not-so-best and downright unhinged moments from Eurovision history. Sanity will be questioned. Laughs will be had. Tears will be shed. Friendships will be tested. And ultimately, the two will get to the bottom of how to score the all-important Douze Points and walk away with the big glass microphone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
