Megan's Megacan

Konrad and Megan are joined by expert mixologists Noel and Mark to rate the megacans sent in from all corners of the globe so we can finally answer the big questions – What colour is the drink inside? What is the greatest megacan in the world? And what the fuck is Four Loko supposed to be? Ikkinomi!  Buy us a round, ask us a question: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/megansmegacan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Or follow us on whichever billionaire's data-mining operation you prefer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/megansmegacan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.facebook.com/MegansMegacan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-o_U5nqe4_-yKfOm1CXOPA

Maria Dębińska and Izzy Choksey join Megan and Konrad in a live studio audience at the Berlin Podfest to discuss climate grief and Konrad's film about impending doom. The episode also explores the rise of preppers, the process of creating a film with Indigenous perspectives, and the frustration with the free democratic party in Germany.

Ever committed to the cause of public service journalism, Megan and Konrad deliver the bare-bones, stripped-down, tightly-presented facts of last Sunday's twin state elections in Bavaria and Hesse. The fascists are on the rise, the CDU/SPD ain't gonna save us, and it's all Christian Lindner's fault anyway. The people need to resist, ideally with a JD Whisky Sour, cos these long demos can be thirsty work. It's time for a mega-march!

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 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?

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.

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.
