  "textContent": "Eurovision season wouldn't feel complete without a visit from Tobias Larsson, Eurovision fan & historian, to tell us the backstory of another ESC luminary. This time it's Udo Jürgens, the man who gave Austria their first win and sold over a hundred million records worldwide. It's a fun look at one of the most successful singers & songwriters in ESC history, and we're glad to celebrate Udo just before the contest returns to Vienna for Eurovision 2026 60 years after his win. Jeremy's mixing gin & rum, Dimitry thanks the jury, and Tobias is sticking with some Greek wine. Read Tobias's Eurovision blog, Tobson och alla bidragen (translation available on site!). Watch many of the Udo Jürgens songs discussed in this episode on YouTube. And as always, this week's companion playlist.\n\nThanks to everyone who participated in this year's MaxFunDrive!
