This week’s podcast is dedicated to the Eurovision Song Contest, which is now on in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. We’ll delve into the who’s who at this year’s competition and find out if Ukraine is living up to the event’s slog of “celebrate diversity.” Plus, with politics already having come into play with the exclusion of Russia’s candidate, we ask: does the music still matter?

Produced by Anna Yakutenko and Rahim Rahemtulla.
