We're taking you behind the scenes at the Eurovision Song Contest as we chat to the Head of Show, Lee Smithurst. We go to Monika Linkytė's soundcheck for Lithuania and bump into Slovenia's Joker Out. Greece's Victor Vernicos, Austria's Teya & Salena and Poland's Blanka show us round backstage. And we meet El Waller, responsible for the pyro and effects at the show. The Eurovision Song Contest Podcast is hosted by Steve Holden and is brought to you by the EBU. We're @Eurovision on Instagram, TikTok and Twitter, and get all your latest news at Eurovision.tv and the Eurovision Song Contest's Official YouTube channel.
