Get FolkedEpisode 103 - Merry Folking ChristmasThe 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. Also...

Get FolkedEpisode 102 - Radio DempseyBoth Ed and Andy were out and about this week as Ed travelled to the Big Top to watch Damian Dempsey connect with a crowd and make a city weep while Andrew was at the Berlin Arena discovering the new, hip music young and impressionable young minds are being exposed to. There was also weeping paired with a slight hint of insincerity, or ignorance. Either way, the future’s f**ked. Get Folked! This is a public episode.

Get FolkedEpisode 100 - Grumpy Old MenEd and Andy mark this moment in history, as two middle aged Dads in the prime of their careers choose to do, by complaining.

Get FolkedEpisode 98 - Over EggingThis week sees both Andy and Ed out and about like the social butterflies that they are. They found music, they found cocktails, they found interesting social questions: When should one offer one’s advice? Why has Brexit had such an effect on the supply of Guinness 0.0% to Berlin?

Get FolkedEpisode 97 - A Musical OdysseyThis week Andy (it is Andy, right?) guides us through his musical wanderings of the past few days in Berlin. He saw and heard a talented person perform dressed as an Orca. He saw regular folk music singers play regular folk music songs. He saw drummers who had never drummed before and who somehow managed to be awesome at it. He saw dogs wanting to be in bands and people barking like dogs. He even found time to perform on stage himself and got complemented by a member of The Murder Capital. Wow!And Ed...

Get FolkedEpisode 96 - The Blasphemous OxterThere’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...

Get FolkedEpisode 89 - Tessellating TalesMusic gets pride of place on this week's episode of The Get Folked Podcast (well, to begin with anyway) as Andy and Ed talk about the album "Not For The Gallery" from Rufus Coates and Jess Smith. Andy met them in Berlin. How cool is that? That's right, it's very cool. You can catch the album via the URL below. It's very very very good.

Andy's travels around Ireland continue, and bring him into contact with that awesome spectacle of Irish pride; The GIANT Avondale Slide.

The lads are still together and while last weeks episode was hijacked by the audio Gods, this week’s hex focuses on the video so close your eyes and create the setting through the magic of mind cinema.

Get FolkedEpisode 79 - The Hairy SpiritThe newly bestowed "Yuppie" status means that buskers, junkees, chess players, and whores can all now be found rubbing shoulders at Andy's favourite Berlin bridge hang-out. It's all a far cry from the wholesome parties that Ed attends and somehow gets injured at. How can a man with weak ankle joints possibly put his best foot forward? In the realm of music, Hawkin Twang have an upcoming gig on the 16th of July in Posh Teckel. The only thing more anticipated than the tunes is the promotional poster that Andy is working on. It's gonna be awesome.

It is with such questions that the minds of tomorrow are moulded and the minutes of podcast episodes are populated. But beware!

After this startling revelation some soothing musical exploration is required and Andy introduces us to the lyrics of the song "The Gosport tragedy" later re-written as "Pretty Polly".

Get FolkedEpisode 41 - The Siren’s CallClose your eyes and let Ed and Andy engulf you in some word wizardry, taking you back over 100 years to to tread the boards of the Berlin stage. In those simpler times, a bisexual occultist would have been the exception rather than the rule but time’s arrow marches forward and Berlin, thankfully, welcomes all. Even those who eat all the tart!Creative freedom is a double edged chainsaw. We carve open the fruit of possibility and feast on the flesh of hope before violently stabbing ourselves in the leg and bleed out in the shadows of ob...

Get FolkedEpisode 38 - The Turtle RunEd returns to work this week and, for the first time in a long time, does not mention the treehouse on the podcast (except for in this blurb which totally doesn't count). In one of their many digressions Andy and Ed hypothesize about how many 9-year-olds would be needed to take each of them down in, what would be for a little while at least, the world's cutest fight to the death. Andy's week was objectively cooler than Ed's with some daytime clubbing, a visit to the party bridge, and some bean stew being just...

Get FolkedEpisode 37 - The Paddy ChainWhat's in a name? There seems to be a lot as Andy and Ed revisit the subject of band names, displaying what might worryingly be considered, at least for two song writers, a distinct lack of imagination. But this isn't all that's going on with your two favourite podcasters.Ed reminisces about a memorable Sunday afternoon from his adolescence when a blunder by the censors at Ireland's national broadcaster allowed 1970s Barbara Bach into the unsuspecting and pleasantly surprised kitchens of Ireland in all her glory.

Join us for Episode 36 of the Get Folked Podcast and find out.Car trouble can't stop Ed from exploring the delights on offer in The Bodhrán pub in Mitchelstown where he finds the folk generous in their offers of drink, urinal chats, and even flamenco dancing (sort of), while offers of cheese are conspicuously absent.

Get FolkedEpisode 34 - Tales from the Aerial Silk SocietyAndy's whirlwind tour of Europe continues as he broadcasts this week from Poland. A brief stop-off in Berlin beforehand allows him time to bring us all a sample of some musical talent which caught his ear in the form of Italian folk singer Johnny Ursi (Link to his Instagram below), whose version of a well loved Irish ballad draws admiration from Andy and Ed.

It's far from avocados he was raised, but embracing the culinary as well as the musical delights Berlin has to offer is what he does. Ed also visits one of Andrew's regular folk nights in Bavul while sharing some of the more sad observations of his former Kiez (a pretentious way of saying “neighbourhood”).Andrew returns to Ireland for the first time in a year and is lifted by the Irish people's love of small talk.

Get FolkedEpisode 26 - Father's Day and am, sexy YetisAndy and Ed's attempt to hold each other to account for their verbal ticks takes a decidedly abrupt turn towards BDSM in the latest episode of the Get Folked podcast. Reflections on Father's Day cause Andy to bemoan the fact that he gets scammed twice a year. Why does the EU fail to pass legislation synchronizing each nation's celebration of their Patriarchs?

Get FolkedEpisode 25 - Pythagoras says "No!"Join us for the 25th Episode of the Get Folked podcast as the silver jubilee descends upon us. Andy and Ed use this auspicious occasion to bid farewell to the world they once knew, in which the hardest thing about mathematics was long division, and step tentatively into a world where numbers define not just your name and the essence of your character, but the direction in which you should urinate.

Get FolkedEpisode 24 - Oh, The IronyWhere once there was but darkness and ignorance in the world Andy and Ed come forth in the latest instalment of your favourite podcast and bequeath knowledge unto the masses through their illuminating discourse on literature, history, musical theory, mathematics, theology, and the deceptive ways of a very observational horse.

Get FolkedEpisode 23 - The Pleasure DomeTheology and Theme Parks make surprising conversational bed-fellows as Andy and Ed reminisce and compare notes on the pros and cons of being alter boys in their respective parishes back in the day (yes that day was the 80s). This subject causes the unexpected need for deep questions to be tackled head-on: Communism Vs Capitalism. Individual Enrichment Vs the Common Good. Should those who serve be paid for their service or should the wealth of the few be shared by the many? And just how old is too old before you should really stop getting on those tiny amusement...

Get FolkedEpisode 21 - The Southern LightsAndy asks Ed to write the podcast blurb for the first time. Ed panics and, due to a lack of any better ideas, decides to “go meta” and reference the act of writing the blurb within the blurb itself. I think it’s safe to say that Ed will never be asked to write the blurb again.In this episode the guys talk about the fantastic physical feats of the O’Donovan’s of old down in West Cork and how they led directly to Ed’s clumsy behaviour as a tourist. Andy is doing some child-rearing with the hel...
