For this month's FAVES, we've got an absolute doozy. Nova decides to break down 2 currently trending topics in the form of the Glasgow Willy Wonka 'Experience' and Princess Kate's batty Photoshop job while Olympia takes a more abstract route.

Hello, puffins!
The pod is on a hiatus until March 31 while we finish off the Eurovision reaction videos and travel around because people are selfishly having weddings. If anyone is interested, the first two outfits I tried for this wedding were so laughably bad and ill-fitting that for a split second, I considered posting pics.
We'll be coming back with a creepy pod, deep-diving into a mystery which we've haven't done in AGES and I'm stoked.
I'll speak to you then!&nb...

As the host country for Eurovision 2024, there's a lot of eyes on Sweden's entry this year. Can Marcus & Martinus live up to people's high expectations?

Nova was a big fan of what Serbia brought to #Eurovision last year and we were both eager to see who would represent the country for 2024. Join us as we analyze and discuss "Ramonda" from artist Teya Dora.

Australia have again decided to internally select their entry for Eurovision and this year we say hello to Electric Fields with their song "One Milkali."
2024-03-12 22:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostNow I'm well aware that we're into March by this point, but unfortunately we've had an absolute mare with the last Secret Santa. We've had so many disappointed patrons not receiving anything that we've made the sad decision to make this our last Secret Santa.
Over the past 5 years we've loved doing this and it's been gorgeous to see everyone's videos but there are too many participants now to ensure that it all goes smoothly and I haven't the heart to let anymore of you down. To f...

Exactly what it says on the tin. Or not quite 'exactly' since it said these were supposed to be luxury and if anything, they just made our hands dirtier.
2024-03-09 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostWe can usually rely on Cyprus to bring us a fun girl-bop to dance to at the club, and it seems like this year is not letting us down! Here's our blind reaction to Silia Kapsis' Eurovision entry for 2024, "Liar."

Our Twitch moderator Kim presented us with this heinous creation so it simply has to have a more permanent home here, if you’ve got kids needing to learn their ABCs.

With only a few entries left to be revealed for Eurovision 2024, we sit down to discuss our thoughts on "The Code" from Switzerland's selected artist, Nemo.

A firm fan favourite that we have been avoiding like the plague in order to provide you with this blind reaction, we can finally listen to Austria's entry for #Eurovision 2024, Kaleen with "We Will Rave."

One of the first artists to be revealed for #Eurovision 2024 this year, we finally have the song and music video for "Europapa" from Joost Klein. Another polarizing entry, here's what we made of it upon our first listen...

Having previously covered stock horror characters such as clowns, vampires and witches and with a reignited interest thanks to a recent rewatch of The Walking Dead, today we're discussing zombies. I don't mind telling you that apocalyptic fiction leaves me feeling very uncomfortable and when zombies are involved it's usually a no-go. I'm not sure why such a ridiculously gory and improbable scenario would haunt me so much - probably because it's not all that improbabl...

A while ago, we tried to perform ballroom dances from memory. Apparently we didn't learn our lesson because we're once again taking to the floor proving once and for all that there's no rhythm to be found at Novympia Manor.

San Marino's selection process is always... interesting. For #Eurovision 2024 we have former Benidorm Fest participants Megara returning with their song "11:11."

RIGHT LET'S DO IT - hot off of a mediocre placing last year, we're finally sitting down to react to the UK's Eurovision entry for 2024.

Not just an Italian cuisine, Baby Lasagna has been selected as Croatia's Eurovision 2024 entry and we are here to share our thoughts!

Belgium have internally selected their entry for #Eurovision 2024 and it's proving to be rather divisive amongst yer gerls. What do you think of Mustii's "Before the Party's Over?"

Thank you to everyone who took part in the 8th Novympia pub quiz live stream!
Going forward we're going to look into doing a more regular patrœne quiz event using a quizzing platform like Kahoot! since there were so many of you playing it's taken me literal days to go through the answers 😆. There were also quite a few submissions over Instagram with expired photos that were no longer viewable so unfortunately those have had to be omitted in the final list.
...and it's the turn of POLAND! With a few controversial national finals under their belt, do Poland have what it takes to finally bag their first win in Malmö?

There's violins on violins in Moldova's 2024 entry for #Eurovision! Let's sit down and discuss our thoughts on "In The Middle" from returning artist Natalia Barbu.

Jodie Foster is one of those Hollywood types that can't seem to do wrong. Yes, of course she has some horrible scores on Rotten Tomatoes but as a multiple Oscar-winner and respected actor, director and lesbian I doubt you'd find many in tinsel town who wouldn't love to work with her. I can't speak in great detail to her character despite her being effortlessly charming in interviews but she has this kind of quality that exudes excellence. She weirdly shouts 'mmFUCK' in Panic Room<...

In continuation of our monthly faves and crappers, this week we’re talking about salty apéritifs, social media phenomena and a pop song lost to time.

Eesti Laul continues to be an incredibly strong National Selection resulting in a collaboration between 5MIINUST and PUULUUP representing Estonia at Eurovision this year with the song "(nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi."

Another country presently in a rut at Eurovision is Denmark, who are sending the MOODIEST of bangers this year in the form of SABA's song 'Sand' - giving Olympia all of the feels.

A FIRM fan favourite, we approached Lithuania's #Eurovision entry for 2024 with high expectations. Is "Luktelk" worth the hype?

As a country that's floundered at Eurovision in recent history, Germany are in dire need of a quality entry... so let's react to their offering for 2024.

I've played with the idea of doing this for a while. In a decidedly chill and frothy episode, today I'll be running through the podcasts that I personally listen to, mostly when I'm falling asleep or trying to cook a frightful pasta dish.
