Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture.In this episode, a musical special (with very little singing, fear not), Tony & Carl talk through the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest - the winners, losers, and the political implications given the Ukraine tragedy & the contest being hosted in the U.K. for the first time since 1998.Plus! Listener and podcaster Kurt North sends us voicemail about Tickemaster and U2 fan frustrations, leading to a broader chat about the growing exploitation of 'dynamic ticket pricing'.And they also look at the recent rise of nostalgic repurposing of songs, tracks and beats from popular culture that might have more morally dubious sources inside the music industry...-Remember: subscribe to THE DISCOURSE+ for early access, ad-free listening and bonus episodes not available to regular listeners.Support the show here: https://wemadethis.supportingcast.fm/the-discourseNew episodes of The Discourse drop each week every Monday and Tuesday...Host / EditorTony BlackCo-HostCarl SweeneySubscribe to THE DISCOURSE+:https://wemadethis.supportingcast.fm/the-discourseFollow us on social media:https://linktr.ee/thediscoursepodcastFollow Tony & Carl:Carl: @CKJSweeney on TwitterTony: https://linktr.ee/ajblackwriterListen to Carl's THE MOVIE PALACE podcast:https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-movie-palace-podcastWe Made this Twitter: @we_madethisWebsite: wemadethisnetwork.comTitle music: The Subtle Ones (c) John Ahlin via epidemicsound.com
