It’s time to see Inside The Model James Stephenson presents a brand-new podcast that analyses who might win the Eurovision Song Contest in a brand-new way.

On this episode, James looks at the first forecast from The Model now that all 35 of this year’s Eurovision songs are released , and the surprise news that Felicia and ‘My System’ leads the way for Sweden.
