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.

LIVE! Berlin 2030 Climate Referendum Special
A true moment of history beckons for Berlin as Megan's Megacan goes live from Hotel Selina in Mitte, and also at least some people get to vote on the future of the city they live in: March 26 is climate referendum day, and Megan and Konrad are joined by Sabine Zimmermann from Klimaneustart to explain why this might be the biggest vote in your life.
Also, maybe you would like him when he's angry: big Green man Robert Habeck is absolutely raging as the FDP leak his heating bill. He needs a mega to calm down. Cheers, Bob!
Thanks to the Selina and MASSIVE thanks to Dan Stern from Podfest Berlin for setting up the gig. It was ace!
Vote YES! Here's why:

Iffy For Giffey, Compromises In Ireland, And G&T Showdown
This week, Megan's Megacan goes gin-crazy to settle the ultimate head-to-head: Bombay Sapphire or Gordon's? And boy do they need it: Not only is Berlin about to get an actual boomer racist as its new mayor, with the CDU and the SPD getting cosy, but they have to get their heads round the Northern Ireland protocol and the Windsor Framework and the Stormont Brake. Thank God Irish political analyst Daniel Farrell is on board to explain. Sláinte!

Berlin Election (This One Definitely Counts)
On the eve of another election, Berlin asks: Will this one count? And if it does, what does it mean? Megan and Konrad pick through the coalition options, take a spin on the Wahl-O-Mat, and explain why this time nothing can possibly go wrong. Cheers for the volunteers!

Not Enough Tanks, Houses, Or Teachers
A damp and miserable January is saved at the end by none other than Captain Morgan and his special mojitos, as Megan and Konrad discuss Scholz's tank prevarication and figure out why there aren't enough flats to go round. Plus, how does Megan rate the government's plans to deal with Germany's teacher shortage? Avast, me hearties!

Lützerath Special!
Armoured men stuck in the mud, besieged protesters holding out in tunnels, while monstrous machines devour the very Earth. This is the medieval hellscape that is Lützerath 2023. How did this happen? Where has the Green Party left its soul? What did the RWE corporation whisper in Robert Habeck's ear in a locked room many months ago? Megan and Konrad settle down with a mug of herbal and a miraculously fluffy chocolate cake while energy expert Izzy Choksey breaks it all down. More tea, vicar?
