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

Cheer Up Germany, The Football's On!
Megan and Konrad, determined to get through a whole episode without having a nervous breakdown over Germany's political torments, call in top football journalist Kit Holden to deliver an expert preview of the upcoming Euro 2024 football fiesta. That'll surely cheer them up. But bugger us if Kit hasn't gone and written a whole bloody book about how German football actually reflects all the country's political torments. Bah, just their luck! Mahlzeit!

The AfD's Bellwether Cock
Megan and Konrad are full of the joys of summer this week because the people of Thuringia went to the polls — and slightly fewer of them voted for SS apologists than normal. Meanwhile, top COVID explainer Karl Lauterbach is overhauling Germany's absurdly expensive healthcare system, and kindly, white-haired President Walter says a rude word. Ahoy!

Saoirse don Phalaistín
Displaying their usual tact and charm, Berlin cops have been beating people up at demos, making up rules as they go along about what languages you can speak, and then following people around while they go for pints. Nessa Finnegan of Berlin's Irish Bloc joins Megan and Konrad to talk about the diplomatic incident their conversation circle caused at the pro-Palestinian camp. Sláinte!

Does Germany Really Exist?
Another week, another gaggle of right-wing terrorists go on trial. This time it's the turn of Heinrich the 13th, a blue-blooded berk in the dock for trying to bring down the German state, which he says doesn't even really exist. Welcome to the netherworld in the mind of the Reichsbürger. Also, the German government has come up with a plan to abolish homelessness. Will it work? As if! Kanpai! Which is cheers in Japanese.

Germany's Day In The Dock
Germany has been in The Hague this week defending itself from accusations of aiding genocide — hands down winning this month's "Not A Great Look" award for countries with a history of genocide. Speaking of war crimes, freelance journalist Cathrin is on had to tell Megan and Konrad how Germany's policy on Syrian passports is helping the Assad regime — and don't piss off Botswana unless you want 20,000 elephants riding over the Alps. Cheers!

Schrödinger's Fence (Around Görlitzer Park)
The birds are singing, the blossoms are blooming, the eggs are safely hidden – it's springtime at Megacan Towers and Megan has some sparkling springtime tips for the long weekend. But unfortunately, there's some news to get through before that: How do you get a tram through a fence, driving tests for senior citizens, football news, and whatever the fuck Kai Wegner has been up to this time. Mahlzeit!
