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 we speak German, English and French (also Canadian and Raccoon), admire some floristry and we float the simply ludicrous notion that juries don’t have the musical knowledge to appreciate music outside of their own specialist interest. I know, who’da thunk it?

In this episode the trio *finally* bring you the episode we’ve been looking forward to for the past couple of months, and absolutely haven’t stalled on recording, 1962. We discuss how much we can remember 16 songs (spoiler, not much), Kris provides health and safety advice for around the home and we suggest that Ronnie Carrol was availing himself of the services of call girls.
