James Stephenson presents a brand-new podcast that analyses who might win the Eurovision Song Contest in a brand-new way. With the help of The Model, James’s prediction tool for the Contest, he’ll take a look at how the race to Vienna is shaping up with weekly updates on the favourites, unique analysis of this year’s songs, and special guest appearances.

On this episode, James prepares to head to Vienna for Eurovision 2026 by explaining all the ways The Model could be wrong. From the behaviour of the juries to the unexpected things that could happen on the night of the performance, he takes a deep dive into all the elements that are difficult to predict at the Eurovision Song Contest – in the hope that it makes what’s coming over the horizon easier to spot.
