🇦🇺 Getting back on the horse: Catching up with Paul Clarke

He’s a familiar face to any Eurovision fan, always seen next to Australia’s contestant at the press conference table. But after a year away, it’s a joyous return for Paul Clarke to the Eurovision bubble. As Creative Director for Australia, he looks after how our entries look on your TV each year. He’s also the man behind Eurovision – Australia Decides.

Michael and Paul caught up to chat about the 2022 Contest, including what it’s been like working with superfan Sheldon Riley.

🌍 What has it been like being back in Europe?

🪜 How did we end up with the staircase?

🎤 Will there be Aus Decides 2023 and who might be involved?
