About the episode

To understand why Australia is at Eurovision, we first need to understand why Aussies love it so much. Chart the progress of the competition's popularity in Australia, and hear what tests Australia passed to earn a spot on the Eurovision stage. In this first episode you'll hear from Eurovision academic Associate Professor Jess Carniel and Paul Clarke from Blink TV, SBS' production partner for Eurovision broadcasts.
