Show Notes

Logic suggests we'll be heading to Bulgaria's capital city for next year's contest, but could a dark horse have entered the race to host Eurovision?

In this exclusive episode we meet Manuela Dimitrova, Founder of CEO of Bulgarian based Excedo Travel.

She takes us through the cities that have expressed an interest in hosting and assesses the bids fom Sofia, Plovdiv, Burgas and Varna.

We also hear how excited her nation is to be welcoming the world next May.
