Luxembourg decides - Switzerland & Israel join the race | Ep.18

Luxembourg has chosen its Eurovision 2026 representative — and the road to Vienna is officially heating up.

In Episode 18 of Pod it Away, we break down Eva Marija’s victory at Luxembourg Song Contest 2026 and everything that happened in a spectacular night at Rockhal. We also react to Switzerland’s internal selection of Veronica Fusaro and Israel’s choice of Noam Bettan after the Hakohav Haba final.

But that’s not all.

We dive into the newly released lineups and songs from Finland’s UMK 2026, Denmark’s Melodi Grand Prix, and Portugal’s Festival da Canção, giving you our full reactions and revealing our personal favourites from each country. Who feels “ready for the big stage”? Which entries surprised us? And which songs are already sounding like serious contenders for Vienna?

Plus, we end the episode with this week’s Eurovision quiz question — how well do you really know Luxembourg’s Eurovision history?

The race to Eurovision 2026 is officially on.
