With Michael in Lisbon and Mark, Hikaru and Io in Melbourne, it’s time for Eurovision Semi Final 2.

The team preview the first half of this year’s second semi, with a heap of variety to choose from. It’s not a battle to the death like Semi 1, but it certainly has its stand outs.

How is Hikaru a virgin?

What does Michael really think of Julia?

What underlying message is Mark hearing in DoReDos’ song?

Find out in the podcast.
