Episode description
'United By Music’ may be the official motto of the Eurovision Song Contest, but at this year's event that “unity” seems distinctly off-key. So why is Ireland still competing? What are our chances of success? And do claims of Eurovision as a historically apolitical event hit the right note to Irish ears?
Host: Fionnán Sheehan | Guests: Kirsty Blake Knox (Journalist with the Irish Independent and Sunday Independent) and Melanie Finn (Senior News Reporter and Showbusiness Editor)
