Alumni Memories Eurovision Podcast

Posted on: 2 May 2023 by Development and Alumni Relations Team in 2023

In this special one-off podcast, we talk to academic and University of Liverpool alumnus Dr Sam Murray about the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, which this year is being held in Liverpool on behalf of Ukraine.

As well as discussing his research, we talk about what Eurovision means for the countries and performers taking part, how the competition has been embraced by the LGBTQIA+ community, and, as it heads towards its 70th anniversary in 2026, what the future may hold for the world's longest-running international song contest.
