The Contest & Me: Heidi Stephens

For this week's episode we're going behind the scenes at Eurovision HQ to chat to one of the EBU's Digital Team.

Heidi Stephens first started covering the contest blogging for The Guardian in the mid-2000s, fast forward to today and she's among the first people to see artists take to the stage for their first rehearsals each year.

During this interview we'll hear how a UK winner helped her connect with the competition as a child, how she started covering the event in her pyjamas, and make sure you keep listening for an incredible moment from Rotterdam featuring one of Eurovision's most surprising participants.
