About this listen

Welcome to Building Bridges, a Eurovision Song Contest podcast for the rest of us. We are Sebi, Jan and Dave and we are not the typical Eurovision fans to run a podcast. Two of us aren't native English speakers and the other is from a country that doesn't even participate in Eurovision! Yet we've built bridges to each other and become close friends through the Eurovision fandom. This international podcast is for all the outcasts in this world and for everyone who enjoys talking and learning about the world's biggest and best music competition!

    160. Reacting to the EBU's Historic Vote
    Dec 5 2025

    In this unscripted episode, Jan and Dave react to the historic vote taken at the 95ᵗʰ EBU General Assembly on Thursday. Included in the vote to approve new rules for Eurovision 2026 was an understanding that there would be no further vote on any country's participation.

    Its approval means that Israel's broadcaster Kan is free to participate at the 70ᵗʰ Eurovision Song Contest, something that immediately triggered the withdrawl of the broadcasters from Ireland, Slovenia, Spain, and The Netherlands (with decisions from Belgium and Iceland yet to come). We share our initial thoughts on this news.

    We would like to hear what YOU think of these events. Get in touch via email (buildingbridges.eurovision@gmail.com), or by leaving us a comment on Facebook or our other socials below as we will be sharing some of your comments on our next news episode.
