Finland eyes the trophy - Delta Goodrem shakes up the race | Ep.23

In Episode 23 of Pod it Away, Eurovision 2026 truly ignites — and two countries dominate the conversation.

Finland sends a clear message after UMK 2026: they’re not just participating — they’re aiming for the trophy. We break down Linda Lampenius & Pete Parkkonen’s televote landslide with “Liekinheitin,” analyse its jury potential, and ask the big question: could this be Finland’s winning year?

Meanwhile, Australia enters the race with serious star power. SBS internally selected Delta Goodrem with “Eclipse,” officially making her the biggest name competing in Eurovision 2026 so far. We discuss what her experience, credibility and staging potential could mean for Vienna — and whether Australia just changed the dynamics of the competition.

Italy delivered pure emotion at Sanremo 2026, where Sal Da Vinci triumphed with “Per sempre sì” — a classic, heartfelt entry that may or may not have completely stolen Kostas’ heart (no bias… allegedly).

From Norway’s fresh new energy — with insights from George of Europe Corner — to Serbia’s bold metal statement, Germany’s carefully calculated reset, Lithuania’s ever-reliable staging intelligence and Bulgaria’s polished pop precision, we break down every angle of a Super Saturday that truly reshaped the race.

Eurovision 2026 is no longer taking shape. It’s accelerating.
