Interview with Peter Urban - Commentator of ARD TV at the Eurovision Song Contest: When we watch the Eurovision Song Contest on TV each country sends to the venue a commentator to introduce the performing acts to his audience in the respective countries and their language. Peter Urban has been the commentator for German Broadcaster ARD for 25 years and retired after the 67th Eurovision Song Contest ended this year. Over the years Peter has seen many many changes and lived through many anecdotes at the contest. Radio International's Salman Tanzeem met up with Peter Urban at the Benidorm Festival 2023 (Spain's National Selection process for selecting the entry from Spain for the Eurovision Song Contest) and submitted an in-depth interview which airs on Radio International this week. Also listen to some of the Eurovision songs that mean something to Peter Urban.

Eurovision Spotlight XXL - The last placed songs in the Eurovision Song Contest (Part 2 and 3 of 5): The Eurovision Spotlight colleagues at Radio International always come up with nice ideas of themed show parts. One what was not yet done was looking at the songs the ended up last in the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Following the start of the five part mini series last week with Chris Poppe, Radio International this week airs  Part 2 with Dermot Manning and Part 3 with Alasdair Rendall with more songs that came last in the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Finals.
