Germany's Day In The Dock

4/13/2024
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.

Schrödinger's Fence (Around Görlitzer Park)

3/29/2024
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.

Hands Off Our Forest, Elon

3/15/2024
Good news and bad news, listeners: Berlin might be able to force thousands of fancy holiday flats back onto the rental market, thanks to a good court ruling for once. The bad news is that Brandenburg is probably about to let Mr Muskness clear a forest so that he can build a million electric cars. Plus Tesla robot coffee's shit. Hooray!

An Éclair At The Berlinale

3/1/2024
Endlich! Germany legalizes cannabis (a little bit, as long as you join a Verein), then has a collective meltdown trying to decide which half of a film-making team you're allowed to clap, while Konrad fatally leaves it far too late in his megacan to explain the democratic principles underpinning the Federal Constitutional Court.

Dieselgate, Nuclear Bombs, And Frights in Greiz

2/17/2024
Fresh from a round of dental torture, Konrad visits the picturesque medieval town of Greiz, Thüringen, where a lady in a castle has decided that asylum-seekers have to do their shopping in the shops she likes.

The Worst Building In Berlin (Winter Repeat)

Really sorry, this is another repeat - this episode is one of our favourites, from March 2022. Megan and Konrad will be back for real soon! The horror won't go away, but then neither do megacans.

Doctors Strike And The CDU Has Another Brilliant Idea

12/29/2023
Despite a busy schedule of stuffing their faces with post-Christmas delights and/or getting COVID, Megan and Konrad manage to squeeze one more canned cocktail into 2023 with an end-of-year round-up.
