Episode 112: Benidorm Fest 2026

If we're talking Spain's Benidorm Fest 2026, who better to join us than the two native Spaniards that host one of our favorite ESC podcasts, the Eurovisionphiles? Dr. Barbara Barreiro Leon and Maria Zapata are on the show this week, talking about Spain's former national final that's now a celebration of Spanish pop music. Jeremy isn't feeling very quinqui, Dimitry longs to be a turista, Barbara's sporting two new tattoos, Maria wants to know why men sing so high, and Oscar needs an ear worm surgically removed.
