Megan's Megacan

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. ...

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!

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!

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!

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!

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?

Journalist and historian Nathaniel Flakin joins Megan and Konrad for a dive into Berlin's disjointed revolutionary history, a trip round red Neukölln, and a detour into the left's current disjointed politics to ask: What has Die Linke actually ever done for us?
