Get Folked

Get Folked is a long-format, comfort-noise podcast anchored to casual discussions around folk music with enough slack on the chain to allow the conversation to drift into the uncertain waters of parenting, mid-life career choices, living in a foreign country, returning home, whiskey sampling, and entertainment. Join us as we explore the subjects of Irish and international culture, artists, live music sessions, song lyrics, and song-writing. getfolked.substack.com

    Episode 138 - How to Spoil Rice

    Unfortunately, the internet connection during this week’s episode causes the normally free-flowing conversation to be slightly stilted, but if you bear with them, Andy and Ed will guide you through this week’s cultural excursions, uninformed musings, and phone misadventures, all of which involve confronting unwelcome bodily fluids.Welcome to the Get Folked Podcast.

    Episode 136 - Back Seat Drivers

    In this episode, Ed and Andy discuss the problem of having a third voice in two way conversation. It leads to misunderstanding, accusations and in some cases, retirement. The lads are perfectly capable of being misunderstood without your help thank you very much.In music, Kapela Kotra provide the inspiration for this weeks episode. As well as being accomplished musicians, having amazing vocals, sublime dress sense and the fluffiest of fluffy hair…they are amazing people who’s story, and the stories they tell leave you in awe.

    Episode 135 - Carbon Britches

    Like the pioneering beta testers of old, Ed and Andy break in the newly refurbished Zencastr podcasting program with the usual surgical precision you’ve come to expect. What starts out as a squeaky wheel, ends in…well a squeaky wheel but less squeaky than before. How you say???Carbon brushes.Once they get past all that technical jargon, they dip their toes into some lakeside camping, chat solar eclipses and meteor showers, discuss Belarusian folk (and Andy’s need to redeem himself and find a mate), Randy Newman and the magical beats and rhymes of RUN DMC.

    Episode 134 - Taste Test

    Andrew broadens his horizons and visits another local open mic night and finds himself “inspired!” INSPIRED!To do what exactly remains to be seen but at least the company is good.The lads discuss the timeless classic - Sister Act 2 - looking for meaning in some of the questionable guidance young nuns of the 90’s may have been giving the next generation of musical artists, given the pool of evidence they are drawing from. Joyful! Joyful! Get Folked.(Note - A glitch due to “online maintenance” of the podcasting program causes two blips in sound. Please excuse us talking over one another towards the end of the episode - this lasts about 15secs. Also, the outro music fails us so please use your imagination and don’t sit there in some sort of Get Folked trance awaiting them banjo twangs. I’ve been assured by Sam, our podcast pilot, that we will both sound better and, even more intelligent in future episodes.) This is a public episode.

    Episode 133 - The Grey Rhino

    One more time for Andy and Ed to record in the same room together this summer. Unfortunately, a slight oversight with the audio settings resulted in the wonderfully professional microphones in their hands being used as mere weights to get their bicep pump on, as they unknowingly speak into the far lower quality computer microphone. This, dear listener, results in the same quality of subject matter that you are used to being discussed, but just a little harder to hear. In risk management terms this is what is referred to as a “Grey Rhino”.That being said, we hope that you can still enjoy hearing it as much as they enjoyed making it.Welcome to The Get Folked Podcast.

    Episode 132 - Mind Your Anus

    The Boys Are Back! So, Andy and Ed missed a week, but what they lack in consistency they more than make up for in the rambling digressions you’ve come to know and love.This week’s episode sees the guys sharing the same room, air, and plate of assorted biscuits (apparently six biscuits = an assortment), as Andy travels home to the mother-land with more tales of risque Spa etiquette. And Ed’s insights into the world of sports will leave regular listeners of the podcast completely unsurprised. This is a public episode.

    Episode 130 - 3 Socks, 1 Pen.

    The legacy of Jamie Oliver and how his works have influenced the contents of Ed’s “Library” are briefly mentioned this week, as is the trauma of being scammed by a planetarium while simultaneously depressed by the modern day over fishing of the Earth’s oceans.In other news, Andy’s vest makes it’s first appearance of 2026 as he stews in what can only be described as one of Berlin’s “community soups” in an attempt to combat the city’s swealtering temperature.And Ed’s love of Dublin is growing along with his tolerance for Guinness and his knowledge of ancient ceremonies of dynastic fealty. Perhaps all three are related. You, dear listener, may be the judge.It’s The Get Folked Podcast. This is a public episode.

    Episode 129 - Follow The Signs

    Ed and Andy channel their inner Joe Duffy this week (that’s an Irish radio reference for all you international listeners) and they just kind-of give out about things. Hey!

    Episode 124 - Stick to the Script!

    If it is indeed better to be late than never, then this week’s episode of The Get Folked Podcast is better than we could have ever expected. That’s our way of acknowledging that we are entering your ears slightly later than you expect this week. But instead of dwelling on the past, let’s move on to the future, or at the very least, the present and join Andy and Ed as they trailblaze through a litany of topics, including their past linguistic (possibly sexual) glories, their respective odysseys, their views on eating in public, and being allowed to play on escalators.

    Episode 121 - Urban Foragers

    What does it mean to be a European? Is it a geographical location? Is it a belief in the great modern democratic ideals? Is a set of shared economic goals?Is it sitting naked and sweaty in cloud of pine scented steam with a group of hairy men for no other reason than to strictly observe a set of well defined and long established rules so as to achieve some vague and ill-defined health benefits while drinking beer?It’s a good question.

    Episode 115 - Violent Flying Headbutt

    Morning time madness descends onto The Get Folked Podcast this week as Ed is forced out of bed at the un-Godly time of 09:30 to record this week. But he totally doesn’t make a big deal about it and is completely over it and ultimately, neither sleep nor wakefulness will help him to answer that eternal question: Just how much should we fear the swans?And Andy shows flashes his pre-frontals this week as he reviews either the basketball scene or the zoological scene in Berlin, it’s unclear from time to time and depends upon what sentence you choose to listen to.

    Ed and Andy briefly discuss what it takes to keep a town tidy before moving on to one of this week’s central subjects; the emotionally rousing musical scores of Hans Zimmer as performed by a string quartet, which Andy went to see this week. Actually, they were a Quintet if you count the really smelly guy that Andy had to sit beside as part of the performance, which we do. . . . . . So well done to everyone on that.Also up for grabs this week; how to select a decent (and knobby) coffee shop, a bit about the weather and how it relates to Andy’s reading habits, and further discussions on Spa etiquette, on which the official position of The Get Folked Podcast is: You can never hear enough discussions on Spa etiquette.

    Episode 109 - Stop'em Ridin'

    This week’s episode has been briefly delayed due to the exuberance with which Andy and Ed celebrated Saint Brigid’s day this year. But, with all that cross making fun put behind them and with their gigantic memorial Brigid cloaks now neatly folded and placed into the sacred Brigid chest, itself placed inside their sacred Brigid chapels (which every Irish home has), it’s time to get back to the serious matter of the podcast.Is Andy being hacked? Is horse riding animal cruelty? Or, is it human cruelty if the human is shit enough at horse riding? How many edges does a sword actually have?

    Bavul makes a reappearance on the Podcast this week as Andy brings us tunes and tales from this singularly wonderful Berlin music venue. But it wouldn’t be The Get Folked Podcast without some meandering musings and, with this in mind, yet even more band name suggestions are thrown around willy-nilly, Andy’s guitar lessons now include the use of a guitar, and Ed confronts a fate worse than death as he attempts to extract just a tiny bit of accountability from an unapologetic customer service department. . . . . . . . . .

However, they then go on to show their immaturity and talk on and off about various forms of poo for the rest of the podcast. But if poo-talk isn’t your thing, don’t worry. The guys have you covered as they weave their words through the worlds of cultural and artistic expression and the intellectual conclusions which can be drawn from inhabiting these worlds. . . . . . mostly it’s poo talk though.Let’s Get Folked.

    The Christmas season has begun and Andy’s journey back to the nest fills him with all of the season’s cheer as he is reminded of how awesome the power of the word “hello” is when uttered by every single stranger he encounters on the Emerald Isle. For Ed, that festive spirit has been best summoned this year by watching the exploits of one John McClane and his dirty vest in the very first Die Hard movie. You see dear listener? Christmas dreams can come true. Especially if you make sure that those dreams are incredibly achievable.

    Episode 96 - The Blasphemous Oxter

    There’s no getting around it. The second take of this week’s episode evokes imagery of a straight-up lustful nature. I don’t think Andy and Ed have quite achieved “smut” status, but between the silk tights and water-filled sex dolls (that’s warm water, just in case you’re wondering), the guys have definitely wandered into “taboo” territory. But, as usual, these delicate subject matters are handled with the greatest of respect and in the sombre tones which can only be borne by the well-informed. Trust me dear listener, you will depart this week’s episode entertained, enlightened, and if you have the predilections of a middle-aged man living in the highlands during the 1950s, possibly aroused. I give you The Get Folked Podcast. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit getfolked.substack.com

    Episode 95 - Leper Number 5

    SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t seen Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985), two things: Firstly, Ed speaks extensively, lovingly, obsessively, about this movie during this week’s episode, so get ready for that. Secondly, if you haven’t yet seen this movie, please get your life together. It’s 40 years old for goodness’ sake. What have you been doing all these years?And keeping with the movie theme of the week, Andy and Ed get the creative juices flowing and, through sheer force of will, produce absolute screenplay gold. It’s very hard to describe what happened this week as anything other than the birth of a franchise. Invest Now . . . . . . somehow. This is a public episode.

Like, really really slay.And at the very end of the episode, Ed finally gets confronted about his poor communication skills. But he handles it very well. No, he’s not just saying that because he is the one writing this blurb. I’m not getting angry. You are! No, you shut up!It’s the Get Folked podcast. This is a public episode.
