Megan's Megacan

The podcast discusses a Bavarian folk festival, a scandal involving a controversial letter, the upcoming Gillamoos beer fest in Germany, frustration with political speeches, and starting the day with an alcoholic buzz.

Another wee repeat - One of our best episodes, from November 12, 2022 This week, German police chat, as journalist Wael Askandar joins the Megacanners to talk about the time the cops refused people second scoops on Hermannplatz. Meanwhile Veronika Nad is on board to talk about the new Hanau exhibition at the HKW in Berlin. Jack Daniels all round? Don't mind if I do.

While we're away on our summer holidays, we're repeating some of our favourite episodes from our first five years of canned cocktails. Here's one of the best: A journey into the topsy-turvy world of German rap with special guest Maisie Hitchcock from September 18, 2020! Kollegah - Fler - Haftbefehl - Bushido - Olexesh - Capital Bra - What the hell are you on about? You're babbling, man, you're babbling. - No I'm not! They're all famous German rappers - and on this week's show the megacanners find out how to tell them apart! It's totally Lila.

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

You know the drill: Megan's summer mood is brought crashing down by Germany's political developments as Konrad tells of the AfD's latest successes. Meanwhile, Germany needs more immigrants but why would anyone move here to nurse the country's aging generation of middle-class racists who like voting for Bavarians like the spectacularly named Hubert Aiwanger? One more Citrus Collins anyone? I think I'd better. Cheers.

Hooray! More depressing news as a German town votes for a fascist for the first time in a while – if ONLY we'd done a bit more liberal pontificating about reunification. The rise of Nazism will certainly help encourage the immigrants that German businesses need so much. Meanwhile, German lawyers prosecute Iranian judges and Russian generals. Lucky we have a soothing whisky and ginger. Phew!

A special edition mega for a special edition mega – Megan breaks out the all-new JD Whisky Sours while Konrad describes the court verdict of Lina E., the left-wing radical who took de-nazification a bit too literally. Ach, if only Germans could love themselves a bit more: Not to worry, because the CDU has a special patriotism program so you too can feel ok to be German.

The Megacanners prepare for the Pentecost the only way Jesus would've wanted: With a Captain Morgan Mojito – the ideal foundation for Kreuzberg's Karneval der Kulturen this weekend. But sadly the news keeps happening, and yet it doesn't, as the police decides to intimidate climate activists for no purpose, and Robert Habeck finds his Heating Bill pointlessly blocked by the FDP.

Megan and Konrad are back on the Bio-Rhubarb-Limo this week to recover from the frankly decadent special edition. So with an unwonted clarity, the megacanners discuss new mayor Kai Wegner's accession to the throne (with or without help from some fascists), why the mafia loves spending money in Germany, and the trial of left-wing extremist Lina E. Is it terrorism if you bash a Nazi in the head? Alcohol-free cheers! Compromises in Berlin and Berlin as both the federal and state governments of the German capital huddle together to clear the air, hash out their differences, confront their grievances, and decide how best to fuck the climate. Meanwhile, swimming pools declare freedom for boobs. Hooray for springtime!

Here's the teaser to our first ever bonus podcast, especially for our Patreon Patrons. This post-Easter Easter egg also happens to be Megan's favourite ever show – mainly because we don't mention Friedrich Merz even once. Konrad and Megan are joined by expert mixologists Noel and Mark to rate megacans sent in from all corners of the globe. ...
