Croatia’s Marko Bošnjak joins us on Flying The Flag to talk all things Eurovision 2025 and his powerful entry ‘Poison Cake’. Marko opens up about what fans can expect from his performance in Basel and how his staging will evolve from the Dora national final. As Croatia’s first openly LGBTQ+ artist at Eurovision, Marko speaks candidly about the homophobic backlash and criticism he’s faced from some Croatians, including religious figures, and how he’s choosing to respond with pride, strength, and authenticity. He also shares how his queer identity fuels his artistry and why visibility matters now more than ever on the Eurovision stage. Marko reveals his favourite acts from this year’s competition, including Miriana Conte (Malta), Go-Jo (Australia), Kyle Alessandro (Norway), and Erika Vikman (Finland), and discusses the Eurovision friendships that have helped him feel supported. He also opens up about his musical inspirations like Lady Gaga, and shares the advice he received from last year’s Eurovision sensation Baby Lasagna, who helped guide his journey.
