Don't Like Windmills? Vote Fascist!
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!

Proud To Be German?
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. Alles wird gut!

Baby Business Boys
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. Amen!

Why Does The Mafia Love Deutschland?
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!

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!
