It's a German news podcast in English, because the German news is hard enough without it being all in German. Also involves canned cocktails. Not massive cans.
The regular Megacans will always be free, but every now and then we'll do a special pod for subscribers - thanks so much for your support! https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/megans-megacan/subscribe

On The Bavarian Campaign Trail
Pork products, over-confidence, and a bit too much right-wing populism? Yep, this must be Bavaria, which goes to the polls next week as Markus Söder seeks re-election with his coalition partner Hubert Aiwanger, who has definitely never been a Nazi ever. Konrad went to the land of Brezls to see one of Söder's election speeches and speak to the party leaders. Also, what's it like at a Polish wedding? Na zdrowie!

Who Does Sahra Wagenknecht Think She Is?
Who can save us from the AfD? Please don't say Sahra Wagenknecht. Armed with Whisky & Gs and Lynchburg Lemonades, the intrepid megacanners try to figure out who Die Linke's most notorious politician is and what she wants. Plus, finally FINALLY young Berliners will be allowed to vote in state elections, as the cool capital drags itself into the 21st century. What took ya so long, homies?
Konrad's movie next week: Backhaus Projects, Sept 27, 8pm:

Kreuzberg Isn't Germany, Gillamoos Is Germany!
The summer's fading out, which means the Megacanners are fading in, and there's no better way to greet the onset of autumn than a lovely old Bavarian folk festival. But what's this? A highly-strung right-wing populist who's definitely not an antisemite ranting in one of the beer tents? No way! Plus ça fucking change. Plus ça Christian Lindner's new budget in the loveless coalition marriage. Luckily we have our lovely megas or the will to live might've left us already. Let's do this!

We're All Going To Die (The Movie)
Achtung Achtung! Though this week's episode does include cocktails and mention of Nazis, it is not a normal Mega – instead it's a slightly shameless special summer plug for Konrad's debut documentary, We're All Going To Die, a film all about crisis and dread. And it's a bit funny. Action!
Upcoming screenings:
Kino Central, Mitte, Berlin, August 1, 7pm - TICKETS
Lakeside Film Festival, Brandenburg, August 4-6 - TICKETS
ACUD MACHT NEU, Mitte, Berlin, August 30, 8pm - TICKETS
