Hello Mello!

JOYEurovision: The Show, Music, Society & Culture

Melodifestivalen is one of the highlights of the Eurovision National Final season. This year’s mega competition was no different.

But what makes it even more important is the possibility of SBS introducing an Australian song selection contest, headed by Christer Björkman.

What might he do with such a competition? What would we expect? And would Christer actually do it?

Listen for Michael’s chat with Christer about the whole Oz Melfest thing along with your faves from this year’s Mello.
