Listen now
Description
This week, we're shaking it up şekerim by taking a look at Turkey's obsession with the Eurovision Song Contest. With its strong musical culture, Turkey has proven we could be the same as other powerhouses in the competition.  But after a string of top 10 performances, including Sertab Eraner's win in 2003, Turkey suddenly withdrew from the competition in 2012. For the past 10 years, Turkish fans have dreamed of once again being 'Under the Same Sky.'  Begüm from Eurovision Turkey -- an unofficial group of ESC superfans -- joins us to look back at some of the best performances that make our hearts go düm tek tek and, most importantly, every way that we can get Turkey back into the competition.  Dinle, subscribe and share this episode -- and tell us your favourite Eurovision memories!
