Big Ear Radio’s favourite duo dive deep into second-place Eurovision drama – and yes, Raynor’s got his scorecard ready.
Hold onto your glitter and grab a flag – Raynor and Cari are back at Eurovision! Ahead of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest on 17 May, Big Ear Radio’s iconic duo are presenting a brand new four-part series… and this time, it’s all about the bridesmaids.
While the world tunes in to celebrate the chosen champions of Europe’s biggest musical showdown, Raynor and Cari are shining a spotlight on the songs that didn’t quite make it. That’s right – this year, they’re turning their ears (and hearts) to the runners-up of national finals from 2023 and 2024. The ones that came so close… and then didn’t hear the words “12 points”.
“Why?” you ask. Because Raynor, Eurovision’s most passionate superfan (and we say that with love and mild concern), wants answers. With his laminated scorecard in hand and highlighters at the ready, he’s asking the big questions: Should they have been sent instead? Were they robbed? Would they have crushed it in Malmö?
Cari, ever the voice of reason (or so she tells us), will be providing balance, banter, and possibly bubble wrap to contain Raynor’s Eurovision emotions.
And because one spreadsheet simply isn’t enough, Raynor is also developing a Eurovision Scoreboard App – complete with rating sliders, flag emojis, and the potential to end friendships over semi-final rankings. Beta testers, your time is coming.
Expect drama, debate, diva notes, and a healthy dose of sparkle as the pair celebrate the ultimate “what ifs” of Eurovision history. Who says second place is just the first loser?
Tune in to Raynor and Cari, Back at Eurovision – airing weekly in the lead-up to the Contest. Only on Big Ear Radio, where the glitter never settles.
Raynor and Cari, Back at Eurovision can be found on Big Ear Radio, airing each week at 6pm on Friday evenings.
