In Moldova's relatively short time at Eurovision, they have basically done it all. From the dizzying heights of a bronze medal finish to the dark days of three straight non-qualifications, this country has always been one to watch. But this year, for the first time since 2005, there will be no Moldova in Eurovision.
So what happened? How did things get so bad? And will we see them back in the contest ever again?
To find out, I spoke to the band responsible for Moldova's best ever Eurovision result and arguably the most recognisable Eurovision meme- SunStroke Project! Yes, Epic Sax Guy is on this podcast!
I'm also joined by Liv Webster from Aussievision- one of the biggest Eurovision fan sites (and podcast) in the world!
Special thanks to Lana, SunStroke Project's manager, and Lachlan Woods (president of OGAE Australia) who helped me to organise the interview with Sergei and Sergey.
I am painfully aware of the mistake at the beginning of the episode in which I say that Moldova's first Eurovision entry was in 2007 when in fact it was two years earlier in 2005! I hope you can look past this and not let it ruin the very immersive experience, as there are no other errors in any of the episodes of Eurovisionism!
