Live from the Capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, the host city for this year's Eurovision song contest. Ahead of the contest on Saturday evening Ken will be chatting live to this year's UK entrant Engelbert Humperdinck. Plus one of the on-air hosts of the contest who originally hails from Azerbaijan - Emin will be giving Ken a tour of his home city.
There's a special edition of Popmaster between BBC Moscow correspondent Steven Rosenberg (who's a huge fan of all things Eurovision) and John Kennedy O'Connor (author of the book of the Official History of the Eurovision song contest). Broadcaster Paddy O'Connell offers his tips for what's hot and what's not musically on this year's show and Ken reminisces with Dana and Clodagh Rodgers both of whom have taken part in the contest in the past .
