I thought at first they were a reputable podcast but when I recently provided constructive feedback- polite and friendly- they refused to publish it on their site. Yet when I post a glowing compliment about a podcast or article it is published straight away

Takes the contest way too seriously, and I’m writing this as a super fan. Too analytical and serious. Zero fact checking done on anything guests say.

I just want to thank you ALL for every single episode you have given us for 2021 Eurovision. It’s my first year listening and I’ve loved it. I listened to every episode and loved them. Can’t wait for next year x

Every episode is just the result of their passion for the contest, deep research, and capacity to love every type of Eurovision song, especially the risky entries. It’s worth a try. Also Ewan’s voice puts me into ethereal zen, or maybe I just don’t hear Scottish people that often and they all...Read full review »

Not my absolute favorite Eurovision podcast but ESC is great for keeping up to date with all the latest news, especially during national finals season. Slightly more serious than Aussievision or Wiwibloggs but still essential listening.

Best way to keep track of all the weekly ESC news in a short and fun format. Love it!

Love this podcast. Ewan and the team are knowledgeable and fun. The daily shows on the ground make you feel like you’re there with them and Juke Box Jury never fails to entertain, with a great range of guests. In-depth interviews with heads of delegations are also great insights.

Such dedication to getting things right. So informative and the recent additions of “Desert Island Disks” has added more value. Can’t recommend it enough.
Gallifrey Man via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/16/18
Consistently informative and entertaining, required listening for Eurovision fans, especially the Jukebox Juries and daily shows in the run-up to the contest
bejopu via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/29/18
Love this podcast - these guys love Eurovision and treat it with the respect it deserves without being too serious. Lots of articles and analysis coming out of their blog as well. Love their shows in the run up to Eurovision - it’s nice to hear more from Ellie and Lisa-Jayne lately too! Keep up...Read full review »

Adam R. Smith via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/18
I remember this time last year when as a lonely fan, I was wondering if anybody has taken the time to make a Eurovision podcast. Sure enough, they had and it really is the gift that doesn't stop giving. Ewan and the team and there for all your Eurovision needs being on the ground in Lisbon,...Read full review »

ESC Insight is by far the best, most informative, most thoughtful, least gimmicky, and most smartly entertaining podcast for finding out about all things Eurovision. I’ve been listening since 2011 and am hooked. The team is made of up people who care not only about the music and performance...Read full review »

The Eurovision journey is incomplete without ESC Insight and their incredible coverage. Kudos to Ewan Spence and the team for another fabulous year, on to Lisbon 2018!!

WandererNL via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 05/05/17
Even if you're just a casual fan (I'm not, for the record) this great podcast provides all you need to know. It should be official, and it should be weekly (all year round). An absolute MUST LISTEN! There's nothing more tiresome than knowing Eurovision is happening on the other...Read full review »

This is well considered, detailed entertainment journalism. And for North Americans, a good lesson in deciphering some great accents!

There aren't many good podcasts about Eurovision, and this one is probably the reason why! It is professional and extensive. Ewen is extremely knowledgeable, committed, and has a great ethos about the contest. If you call yourself a Eurovision fan and aren't onboard with the ESC Insight...Read full review »

Brilliant podcast - thanks to Ewan Spence and all of the guests for the informative and funny podcasts. Personal faves are the Juke Box Juries and the live reports from the venues.

The quality of this podcast just gets better with each year. Superb in-depth interviews, daily round-ups from the rehearsals, and insightful comments in a Juke Box Jury. Brilliant!
philcamuk via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/18/15
I first discovered this podcast last year in Copenhagen during Eurovision 2014 with their bus-casts. They are back in full force on site in Vienna providing daily insights from backstage to this years Eurovision. A great addition to my podcasts.

Silvermoth via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/27/14
I just heard the wonder podcast focussing on Richard and Michelle from Firelight. There could be no more worthy winners of Eurovision than an act like this. Regardless, I’ll enjoy their performance even more having heard their story.
Fatima5058 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/04/14
Loving the jukebox juries! Keep up the great work

Never get bored of the podcasts, perfect thing to have on the ipod for whenever you want to top up your eurovision knowledge, when people ask me questions about eurovision all I have to do is think back to the podcasts to give them the answer, looking forward to many more podcasts in the future!

TazzyBee via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/16/13
Very detailed Information on the ESC, and the alternate commentary to the trasmissions very funny. Plus they have something to do with "Terry Vision", I think! Keep it up the good work, EwanRead full review »

A fantastic podcast. I look forward to these weekly/bi-weekly (and during the contest, daily!) snippets of Eurovision heaven.
