About this episode

The episode features an interview with Swiss singer-songwriter Veronica Fusaro discussing her Eurovision entry and the use of live instruments.

This week we're heading to last year's host nation to meet Switzerland's singer-songwriter Veronica Fusaro. The Thun born performer tells us more about how her entry 'Alice' hid in plain sight for months before she was revealed as her country's Eurovision entry, while she also tells us she'll be playing the iconic guitar solo live on stage despite the rules. Friend of the podcast and host of the Official Eurovision podcast Steve Holden also stops by as he reveals his favourite chats from the class of 2026 so far.
