Eurovision Division

Eurovision Divisionshows.acast.com

Eurovision Division is a show where we listen to all of the songs in the year's Eurovision Song Contest before that year's Eurovision Song Contest. Host Jeroen has listened to all of these songs before, while his co-host and girlfriend Mira is hearing them for the very first time.

We crunch the numbers, we judge the songs. We crunch our teeth, we judge eachother.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
