## Resource

Happy Eurovision Saturday! After a crazy week in Vienna our bumper Grand Final preview podcast is here as we discuss all the main contenders for the trophy. We chat through the surprising running order decisions with friend of the podcast Tobbe Ek, we hear from Denmark's own Søren Torpegaard Lund and manager Tim Schou on their chances of winning, while we also analyse what the running order could mean for Israel and Greece. There's plenty of time to talk about the United Kingdom, before we then move on to hear from the man responsible for bringing Delta Goodrem to Eurovision. And we wrap up with favourites Finland as backing singers Jepa Lambert, Heinni Ikonen, Hanna Marttila join us, plus we hear from Mr Lordi on whether he thinks Finland will emerge victorious. ***Don't forget to come see The Euro Trip podcast's Big Eurovision Quiz hosted at the Wien Museum at 1pm on Saturday 16th May*** This year we're delighted to be teaming up with the Europarty app to help you bring even more enjoyment to this year's Eurovision season.
