Megan's on holiday yet again, which means another special episode with Chef Basti, AKA the flaneur of Flughafenstrasse. This week, the AfD's email accounts got hacked and it turns out some of them might be a bit racist — how could we have known? Also, Germany's Gen Z takes to the streets in solidarity with their comrades in France, online gamblers could beat the house after all, and Basti wins his altercation with the Hausverwaltung and makes a plea for co-existence with non-human Berliners.

Germany is reeling from its biggest spy scandal in about two hours as yet another former agent turned "security consultant" skips off with some secret files, while also plotting to kidnap children with a steak heiress. Meanwhile, the CDU pretends it definitely didn't help the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt, and even tries to make out it was die Linke, while die Linke sues two cabinet ministers in a week, allowing Konrad to explain yet another section of the German constitution, which is always his favourite bit.

Die Linke win in Berlin by trying to make the city affordable, and the CDU and the media decide they must be antisemitic. Meanwhile, the AfD win yet again and the CDU disappear completely on the Baltic coast, like a dying whale sinking into the sea. Megan and Konrad pick the bones out of the carcass of another normal weekend in German politics. Also, judges and prosecutors say the government needs to change the constitution before things really get bad. Ahoy!

September is upon us, Megan's back in school, the megacans are turning yellow, and the slow wheel of history is gently tipping towards fascism. This week, the Megacanners are joined by friend of the pod and host of the Bupkes, Noach Głuchowicz, to talk about the elections in Saxony-Anhalt, an intervention from a Kabarettist, and the disenfranchised people of Berlin — as well as Noach's fascinating Master's thesis on settler colonialism. Lechaim!
