About this episode

Singing, singing, singing. That’s what Malta is good at. And this year, Malta Eurovision Song Contest served all the singing (as well as ads for banks).

Michael and Io serve up a mini review of MESC, with some big songs that couldn’t quite slay. You’ll even get a slight snippet of Miriana Conte‘s original winner.

Where’s all the Maltese come from?

Who’s ready for wedding performances?

Why is Michael loving the throwbacks?
