The pre-season chaos is officially in full swing. This week, we're dissecting the deluge of official news and National Final mayhem!

We break down ORF's latest intel on postcards and the ticket registration process (spoiler: it was wild), and the shake-up of the 2026 voting rules - is this the return of the semi-final jury?

On the music radar: We're reviewing the full Montesong entries and choosing our early favourites, plus chatting about the announcements on Supernova snippets and Eurovizija.LT. And how can we forget Vidbir, which is giving us some of the drama we really love and some very exciting returns!

Plus, we tackle two big questions: The persistent rumour of a Kazakhstan debut, and a recap of the epic Het Grote Songfestivalfeest.

Tickets, rules, and rivals—we've got the necessary hot takes on every development. Tune in now!
