Wiwibloggs: The Eurovision Podcast

Veronica Fusaro, Switzerland's Eurovision 2026 singer, gave an on-stage interview to our William Lee Adams during the Eurofan House x Wiwibloggs event inside the Wien Museum in Vienna. The "Alice" singer discusses her background as a classic guitarist and how she moved on to the electronic guitar and ultimately rock. She also explains the songwriting process behind "Alice," which shines a light on gender-based violence. Staging a song with such a serious message is incredibly difficult. She explains the thought and care that went into it and discusses what we saw during her first rehearsal at Eurovision.

Finland's Eurovision 2025 singer Erika Vikman joined our William Lee Adams for an on-stage interview at the Eurofan House x Wiwibloggs in Vienna. The "ICH KOMME" singer discussed her recent music — including "Appetite" (a collab with Go-Jo), "Father (I Will Never Confess)" and "Adam & Steve." Among other things, she discusses why she relates to the gay community (she too has been judged unfairly, she says) and the results of Eurovision 2025. If Finland ever hosts Eurovision does she plan to play a role? We find out. 

Antigoni — Cyprus' Eurovision 2026 singer — speaks with our William Lee Adams at the Eurofan House x Wiwibloggs interview series in Vienna. The "JALLA!" hitmakers unpacks her journey from a child with a distinct, smoky voice to the confident woman turning heads and winning hearts at Eurovision. She keeps it real: Antigoni spent many years messaging the Cypriot broadcaster CyBC about Eurovision before they finally acknowledged her. Family has been central to her journey. She tells us about her extended family in Cyprus — and we even get to sing happy birthday to her mother — the celebrated TV chef Tonia Buxton.
