Eurovision 2024. Well. It was a time.

We asked our listeners via our socials to give us topics to talk about, and we answered as best as we could. We hate having to say this, but as always here at WMP: these are our thoughts, and our opinions. 2024 was definitely an experience. You’re going to hear a lot of stories, these are just ours.

And for the first (and maybe only time), we recorded the podcast for YouTube, you can either listen OR watch here: https://youtu.be/dmcWm9n8tAc

Song played:

The Code – Nemo (Switzerland) – Grand Final Live Performance

We’ll be back to regular programming with Episode 96 – 1971 very soon!
