It's 50 years since ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974, and leading up to this year's event, I'm running a series of interviews around the theme.⁠

First up is ABBA authority Carl Magnus Palm telling how ABBA won Eurovision - what led up to the competition, the genesis of the song Waterloo and what came afterwards. ⁠
