There's a Christmas election campaign ahead, and it looks like the SPD is going to let Olaf Scholz deliver their presents one last time. Meanwhile, Robert Habeck is convinced that the path to victory goes via coy, night-time kitchen-table videos. Plus, why Germany's medical system has a language problem, what the CDU is planning for unemployment benefit, and the next way-stage on Megan's road to Germanness. Hooray!

Reeling from the impending demise of western democracy, Megan put her phone away for half an hour to have a nice glass of wine — but then Chancellor Scholz chooses that very moment to finally sack that annoying wanker who's been ruining everyone's life and blow up the coalition. Konrad tries to piece the gossip together, while the Bundestag decides now is a good time to Germansplain antisemitism to us. In response to this spectacularly shite week, Megan pulls the emergency brake and officially inaugurates this year's festive season. Merry Christmas, one and all!

We're deep into October, so there's only one thing for it — a trip to Captain Morgan's Mojito island. Elsewhere, in the world of horrors we call reality, Germany has decided it's ok to send weapons to Israel as long as they promise not to do anything bad with them. And there's more advice from Megan on how to navigate the insanity of bureaucracy and getting that all important B1. Avast me hearties!

Yes indeed, we've finally made it through all of this year's German state elections. No more horrible people upending the political landscape until after Christmas. Still, as the Germans say, now we have the salad, and Chancellor Olaf Scholz has a lot on his plate — yet seems convinced he can still win next year. Also, there's the strange case of Germany's disappearing arms exports to Israel, and Megan's special citizenship advice corner… Salut!

Recording live with Radio Spätkauf at Podfest Berlin 2024, Megan handed out free cans so that the audience wouldn't have to get through the news sober — which, frankly, should be part of every media subscription service these days. Then Konrad gets weirdly pedantic about crime stats, Izzy explains why Germany is always losing the energy transition race, and Joel finds some good news about Berlin's U-Bahn seat covers. And there's more fascism in Germany obviously. BUT we have passing minstrels! Hey nonny nonny!

Megan's had a lovely, relaxing time on her summer holidays, so obviously she can't wait to hear about all the horrible news in Germany and Konrad's trip to a fascist rally. Two German states have elections this weekend with the AfD leading in the polls, while an Islamist attack in Solingen has made it even easier for them to stir up racism. Hey ho, the wheel of misery and hatred takes another turn. Well, at least the megas are chilled. Cheers!

Recording in front of a live studio audience at Berlin's House of Color, Megan and Konrad unpack Germany's liberal attitude to children and alcohol, a bottleneck at the Berlin citizenship application office, and why it's best not to have a heart attack in Germany. Also, there's audience questions and some fancy IPAs from the Megacan pals at Fuerst Wiacek. Aber hallo!
Special thanks to everyone who came out!

It's a big day for Megan and the 14% of the German population without a German passport — the government has finally deigned to give them basic democratic rights. Woohoo! Unfortunately, the fascist fucks who apparently represent the majority of Germans have already decided to repeal it when they get to power next. Ah well, at least you can get a fairly cheap panic room at Lidl now. Hey ho!

Megan and Konrad, determined to get through a whole episode without having a nervous breakdown over Germany's political torments, call in top football journalist Kit Holden to deliver an expert preview of the upcoming Euro 2024 football fiesta. That'll surely cheer them up. But bugger us if Kit hasn't gone and written a whole bloody book about how German football actually reflects all the country's political torments. Bah, just their luck! Mahlzeit!
