A fortnightly breakdown of all the weeks news from some of the finest comedians in Europe, and the rest of the world.

In order to do this they are joined by a few hilarious guests: First up, Igor Gavrylov - our Ukrainian correspondent, here to give us exactly why the Russians have invaded, from the horses own mouth, as well as keeping us up to date on the sneaky tactics the Ukrainians have been using - up to and including Teenage Mutant Diseased Ducks. Next up we have "Becky" - our Totally Not Russian correspodent, here to let us know exactly how long she'd be in jail for back at home for appearing on this podcast, as well as just how pervasive Russian propaganda is. Finally we have Dominik Dabrowski - our Strategic correspondent, here to give us a way to end this conflict once and for all, as well as giving us an... ahem... interesting look at some Russian Nazis.

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!
