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.

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.

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...
