The DNQ Files - Bonus Episode 17 - Second Semi Final 2021

In this episode, Matti and Chrissy discuss the values of Jedward, the reign of Queen Loreen, and the questionable choice of Russia to send a cohort of grandmothers to the contest.

In This Episode: Matti and Chrissy realize that the reason this episode took so long to come out was because life is chaos. But once realized, they got together to discuss 2 Canadian national treasures who competed, beautiful Spanish people and a whole host of rambling foolishness.

"I believe that children are the future" sang Whitney Houston, who famously played The Fairy Godmother in the 1997 TV Movie, Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Anyway, with that said, it's time for the Think About Eurovision JESC podcast, where Kris pops by to talk about the contest with Chrissy and Matti, all the way from the Falkland Islands!

Hello from the land of the Penguins!! I'm popping onto the feed to share my chat with Liz about Junior Eurovision on Falklands Radio. I should also be back sometime late on Sunday to discuss the contest and the winner alongside Chrissy and Matti, and then I'll be leaving them to keep going through the contests covered by me and Kim. Unfortunately internet is still quite limited down here, both in terms of bandwidth and amount of data allowance, so I can't come back full time to the podcast quite yet, but I'm going to make sure to come back as much as possible!! Thank you all for your support listening to the podcast. Ok, love yas!! Kris P.S. If you want to hear me on the radio, go to www.radio.co.fk and tune in around 15:15 UK time GMT/16:15 BST and you may just hear me being an *actual* broadcast journalist! I KNOW!!

In This Episode: Matti and Chrissy revisit the earliest Eurovision they can and review the importance of tiny horses, the longest song ever and the disappointing debut of the UK as they follow in the footsteps of Kris and Kim.

IN THIS EPISODE: Matti and Chrissy Highjack the podcast to share their perspectives on a very popular Eurovision year and discuss dream men, Russian twins and a whole lot of other cheese (cake).
