Megan\'s MegacanMegan's MegacanTales Of An Evac Medic In UkraineSlightly different megacan this week, as writer turned evac medic Howard Hunt joins Megan and Konrad once again for an update from the Ukraine war zone – with tales of impossibly brave men with no legs, skies filled with drones, how to drive an ambulance on hilariously bad roads in the dark, and other scenes from the edge of the precipice. Meanwhile in Germany, it seems some in the CDU think that, actually, being dependent on Russian gas might not be so bad after all. What the fucking actual fuck is going on?Here's Howard's combat medic team in...2025-04-0454 minMegan\'s MegacanMegan's MegacanMM's TV Debut!This week, German TV producers finally came to their senses and invited Megan's Megacan to make its debut on a politics chat-show. As Megan was providing silent commentary over chief twat Hubert Aiwanger's shoulder, Konrad found out whether football fans can save Germany from fascism.

Meanwhile, forget about coming to Berlin to make art — the new government here has decided that austerity is a brilliant idea and always wins. Oh well, at least Megan and Konrad have some festive tips to ease you in. Jingle bells.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
