Eurovision is a funny beast, and it’s not just all about the music.

We at Wind Machine Podcast want to get into the nitty gritty of history, geography, and politics, using Eurovision entries from 2000 to present to guide you through Europe.

In each episode, we explore a country and then The Yoda Beanie Of Doom selects the next country to explore for the next podcast and so on…

Two nerds, one podcast, loads of stuff.
