83 - Richie Anderson: Eurovision Lore, Pop Girls & Being Your True Self

We're serving a wonderfully chaotic episode of The Final FronTia filled with deep dives, Eurovision and the strange bubble of being famous for a week. Richie Anderson is on the show!

Richie Anderson is a much-loved British TV and radio presenter - best known for his appearances on BBC Radio 2, The One Show and, of course, the BBC's coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest. Richie also competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, and is the new host of the iconic show Escape To The Country.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Richie cover everything from Eurovision's turquoise carpets to pop girl politics. They fangirl over icons (everyone from Ariana Grande to Cheryl Baker), wonder why some songs feel like Christmas music when you hear them out of season and Richie gives a peek into life inside the Eurovision circus.

Plus: an ill-fated TikTok livestream, a surprisingly emotional Gavin & Stacey–era Eurovision memory, and a countryside-themed game that proves Richie is still bad at quizzes.
