This week’s Radio Goethe podcast has a special focus on Megaherz’s new album Heuchler. The second half of the broadcast has 6 songs from the album for you to listen to, and the first half is filled with other German metal and hard rock bands to maintain the same sound for the entire hour.

If you like the hard side of German music, you definitely need to listen to this podcast. Start listening anytime in the next week by clicking “Listen to the latest show” at the top of the Radio Goethe website or by subscribing to it on iTunes.

Be sure not to miss the audio tour of the German city of Cologne with the members of Geist, the first band on the podcast. This is a separate MP3 file, as it is part of the Radio Goethe Magazine show, which you can download here. The guys have very good English and are pretty entertaining, plus their music isn’t bad, either. Check it out on the main RG podcast and their MySpace page if you want more.

Arndt Peltner, who produces Radio Goethe, recently had a new correspondent in Germany named Nina Pauler start working with him. She has been very busy this month, performing interviews with 3 of the most talented German musicians out there today. Her first interview was with one of our favorite people, Alexx Wesselsky of Eisbrecher (and also, formerly of Megaherz). Nina’s next interview was with Nils Koppruch (formerly of the band Fink) who is currently working on his new solo album. Finally, she interviewed the new and incredible German rock band Geist.

Not wanting to miss all the action, Arndt perfomed an audio interview with Udo Dirkschneider who is best known as the lead singer of the metal band Accept.
