Grant Gallacher is with the podcast crew after his extended break for the Edinburgh Fringe, having almost got rid of his month long hangover and taking the plasters off of his bruised ego, and what a show we have for you this week! Phil Micallef is unfortunately not with us this week, but we are happy to announce the return of the one and only Katie Anderson, now that the Trump impeachment is back on track - is she one of the secretive whistleblowers? Only Katie knows... suggestions for what her codename should be to be sent in to the show please! This episode we are joined by Phil Varney - our Deep State correspondent who's here to catch us up on all the goings on in American politics, Kristyna Haklová - our Bohemian correspondent, here to talk about the sad passing of Czech musician and cultural icon, Karel Gott, as well as touching on our impending extiction and the lone, youthful Sweedish voice protesting for our future; and we are very excited to announce US comedian Ian Fidance, currently on tour around Europe, joins us as our New York correspondent, here to give us some honest opinions on his home city. This gig was recorded just after his gig here in Prague, and the slight noise in the background is the happy crowd filing out the show. Make sure and check him out on his tour!

It's good to be back again guys, we'll be back again in two weeks, and this episode is a brilliant one, so we hope you like it as much as we enjoyed making it!

This is just a short message from Grant and the gang to say thank you to all our listeners for sticking with us! Since we launced the podcast we've had thousands of downloads and are eternally greatful to all who've listened, shared or just laughed along with us. This August Grant is performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival - his Making Europe Grants Again is on every night, 11pm, at NightCap bar - so because of this we'll take a short break for August and be back in September! Thanks for listening guys and if you can, please do go see Grant's show!

Thanks,

The Making Europe Grant's Again team

Grant Gallacher is back with Phil Micalef and Tori Burton for a supposedly early, but now actually late 17th episode, and what an episode we have for you this week! The gang are joined by Sean Riordain - our Unexpectedly Sudenese correspondent, doing exactly what his name says, with the style we all expect from Sean, Gus Horn - our Overly Conservative Correspondent coming in with some late hot tips and theories for the last US election and the next, Kristyna Haklova - our returning Bohemian correspondent who's as drunk as she is funny, informative and witty, and Radu Isac - our Nice Guy with Eastern European Accent correspondent, who's here to fill us all in on a story this week about a rich ass damsel in distress who may be coming to a town near you! (EU Visa's required. Brits need not apply.)

This episode is a great one, so we hope you like it as much as we enjoyed making it!

Grant is back with one man band Phil Micallef and conspiracy minded news anchor Tori Burton for  a breakdown of all this weeks news. They are joined by Phil Varney - Deep State correspondent, who's last appearance mysteriously vanished from the podcast archives due to a vast government conspiracy and definitely not because Grant can't set up the equipment properly, Mitch Leffler - our Education turned Pragues Dumbest Expats correspondent, here to astound you listeners with tales of true daftness before he jets off to Bratislava, and finally David Thompson - our Social Media correspondent, here to advise us on the impact of giving up temporary pleasure and the nasty effects that can have on your feline friends.

This episode is hilarious, so we hope you like it as much as we enjoyed making it!

Grant is back, a few days late but better than never. He's got a full line up of hilarious guests and, as always, is joined by the incomparable Phil Micallef, our One Man House Band who's rein supreme over puns is challenged as never before this week, and our superb Conspiracy correspondent turned Stand-In Anchor, Tori Burton, who's feeling a lot better this week after a prolonged period of getting back to nature to detox from the news. Our guests this week are our Presidental Race correspondent - Brian Lennon - who has a rant of epic proportions about what the Democrats are doing wrong, ageism and the assasination of JFK... or was it KFC? Also, we have Claudia Fernandez, in her hilarious first time on the podcast as our Venezuelan correspondent, here to fill us in on the mystical truth about Chavez, explaining how much Cuban sacrifices cost and making fun of Grant the way only a Latino can. Finally, the gang are joined, for what might be the last time for a wee while, by our Irish Music correspondent turned Dadislava correspondent, who finds himself a new father and is back to explain his absence from a few episodes ago, as well as filling us in on his new found fatherhood. Plus, we are joined by a member of the audience who's voice you may just recognise... This episode is hilarious, so we hope you like it as much as we enjoyed making it!

Grant is back, and this time, he's got the whole gang in tow! He is joined as always by Phil Micallef, musicial comedian extroidinaire and Tori Burton, our conspiracy theorist correspondent turned news anchor for these crazy times. Our guests this week are our returning cuisine correspondent, Erik Beckett, promoted to Food Culture correspondent and ready with more savage reviews, plus new guests, the fantastic Ben Wheatland, our Milkshake correspondent, ready to fill you up with anti fascist goodness, and the always hilarious, Sviatoslav Marinaded, our Satire is Dead correspondent and Ukranian national, keeping us up to date with just what the hell is happening in his home country right now. It's funny, sure, but is it good? Regardless, this episode is a great one, so enjoy!

Grant is back with a normal sounding episode, though one of the unluckiest to date! Unfortunately Phil wasn't able to join us again this week, but the fantastic Tori Burton is back on with this weeks headlines as well as two amazing guests: Bryan Flannigan, our Health correspondent, here with some health tips that might just be feasible, and Mitch Leffler, our American Abroad correspondent, here to talk about, what else, fucking Alabama.

Grant is joined once again by Phil Micallef with his trusty guitar and Caroline Collins, our stand in anchor whilst Katie Anderson is away setting up the LesbiAvengers, and what a show we have for you this week! Despite some technical issues with the sound, which the MEGApodcast team have agreed was collectively all their fault and definitely not Grant's alone, the gang are joined by Katarína Kubečkova - our Slovakian correspondent, here with some good news for women, femenists and Slovakia for a change, Phil Varney - our Congressional correspondent, here with an important update on Trump, once Phil's exorcised some of his own demons beforehand, and Carmine Rodi - our Italian/Vatican City correspondent, here to match Katarína's good news with some predictably bad news from both of those places. Not only that, but as this is Carolines last show, Phil has ceremoneously handed over his guitar so she can play us out with a theme tune of her own devising, so make sure and stick around for that! Sorry again for the change in sound quality, but thanks to the power of editing we still think this is a great episode that we hope you enjoy!

Grant and the gang have worked their butts off and brought you this episode early, as Grant is performing at the Glasgow Comedy Festival on 31st March at The Classic Grand, 8.15pm.  He is joined, as always, by Phil Micallef for musical support and pun torture, but unfortunately Katie is away for a few weeks whilst she beats straight answers out of Robert Muller and William Barr. Luckily, the headlines are in good hands with our guest anchor, Caroline Collins, who keeps us up to date on whats happening this week. The gang are also joined by Russel Adam Webb - the Prague Geezer, here to talk all things drugs and even teach us a few things, and not just where to get the best columbian marching powder, plus Kristyna Kulberg - our American Feminism Correspondent, here to discuss gender politics in the past compared to now, as well as having a few choice pieces of advice for her younger feminists, and Macedonia's own Kiro Nushev - the Loud Mouth from Down South, and our Air Crash Investigator. Enjoy!

Grant has a St Paddys day special surprise lined up for you lucky listeners! He is joined, as always, by Katie Anderson for the headlines and Phil Micallef for musical support and pun torture. This weeks show has an Irish tinge so we have Luke Ryan - our escaped Irish correspondent, Sean Ríordáin - our Irish Diaspora correspondent who you may recognise from our American special (Ep4), and we are truly blessed with the luck of the Irish to have John Colleary, touring comedian and our Actual Irish Correspondent. We are also lucky to be joined by Tamas Vamos, our Hungarian-Jewish-South African correspondent, and Paul Jacobs, our Austrian correspondent who you may recognise from the New Year Drunk Cast episode. Also, as if that wasn't enough, we end the current feud between Ireland and the rapidly collapsing UK through music with the help of Oscar Brophy, our Irish Music correspondent.

EDIT: Due to a technical hiccup we've had to post in Katies bits as we lost her audio, thats why this episode is late. We apologise, and hope you enjou regardless!
