It's a German news podcast in English, because the German news is hard enough without it being all in German. Also involves canned cocktails. Not massive cans. Our Megacans will always be free, but if you feel like buying us a round, not only will we be ever-grateful - our supporters get a free cocktail in a can when we do a live show!
