Ep34: A Eurovision Summer Holiday

Basel has been announced as the host city of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025!
To celebrate, Steve’s been speaking to some of the people who were in the room when Nemo wrote The Code, bringing the contest back to Switzerland.
At a songwriting camp in Malta, he chats to Nemo’s bestie Teya (Austria 2023), as well as the song’s co-writers Linda Dale and Benji Alasu. 
He also catches up with some of Malta’s previous Eurovision entries - Destiny (2021), The Busker (2023), Sarah Bonnici (2024) and Christabelle (2018). 
The Official Eurovision Song Contest podcast is produced and presented for the EBU by Steve Holden. The theme music is composed by Machine Sound. Visual design by Chris Fox and Ángela Espejo.
