This year is the 60th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Michael and Mark take a trip down memory lane and try to squeeze 60 years of Eurovision history into under 60 minutes of radio magic.
From Australians in Eurovision and the fun of the interval act to GLBTIQ performers and what happens when you name products in your songs, the boys dig up the archives to present an hour of Eurovision history.
Plus, news about Guy Sebastian’s lack of Eurovision airplay in Australia.
