Eurovision 2023: Grand Final Reaction

It's the morning after the night before. We wish we could say the night was full of shocks and surprises, but this was arguably one of the more predictable Eurovision Song Contests in recent years. Finland's late surge with the televote wasn't quite enough to stop Loreen romping away with her second win, and Sweden's seventh overall, to make them the joint most successful country of all time.

On this episode, host Steven and producer Liam chat about Sweden's win, the people's champion Finland, the United Kingdom returning to their usual place in the leaderboard despite a valiant effort from Mae Muller, and how the UK have raised the bar for Eurovision weeks ahead of Stockholm 2024.
