PODCAST

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

Folk music takes another hit this week as it moves to the backseat in place of some very important topics including, but not limited to, some pretty liberal suggestion changes to official Catholic Liturgy, driving test reminiscences, and the details of picking the right military portrait of yourself if you are an Irish nationalist hero.The guys also catch up on house keeping and give Dominic Beehan his fair dues and explore some of his best known song titles. And finally, finally, we find out what

Ed puts in some serious hours rounding off a few of the rough edges from last weeks episode. Andrew continues to struggle with basic pronunciation while over egging the alliteration pudding. The lads discuss the relentless struggle of sculpting young minds and Andy signs off with a rather in-depth review of the importance of thighs that will surely be revisited when the lads bang out next week’s bingo classic.

And the stew of ignorance simmers on this week as Andy and Ed somehow manage to put themselves through their own paces as they share a "wealth" of Irish History and Geography "knowledge" while also increasing the word-count of next week's housekeeping section. Andy's travels around Ireland continue, and bring him into contact with that awesome spectacle of Irish pride; The GIANT Avondale Slide. While Ed takes care of matters closer to home and, in the spirit of the Bull McCabe, attempts to reclaim

The final instalment of Ed and Andy's travelling podcast trilogy (next week, no traveling) sees the hosts share the dinner table in rural confines of the Borrisokane burbs.Snake straw hats, the psychology of the the urban wasp, Berlin boat life and an introduction to Gabber techno has left the lads feeling the love for Berlin and enough oxalates in their system that their kids now have gout!Get Folked warning: no more than a single half-cup serving of beets per

Episode 84 - Shaving Cream

2025/08/11

This weeks episode is firmly rooted in the title as the lads discuss one of Andy’s fathers late night favourite tunes written in 1946 but stands the test of time in terms of the products ability to go everywhere. 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. Andy apologises, Ed explains the concept of walking football and both men bathe in

Together again! Ed and Andy’s excitement clouds their judgement as the hosts share floor space for the first time in 2025. Both hosts struggle with nature’s unwanted offspring as the the mosquitos lay claim to the most beautiful of backdrops. Old and new wounds are opened from the hurling world. Storks, voodoo and vocab are some of the highlights of an episode that will leave you just the right amount of catawampus to kickstart your week. Get Folked! This is a public episode.

Episode 82 - I don't like wasps!

2025/07/27

Andy and Ed take a good long stew in the juice of their own ignorance this week and what a heady broth this stew doth provide. From tales of a wasp's fight to the death in its pursuit of the holy grail inside Andy's pants, to the fantastical (and ultimately non-sensical) tales of cooking frogs and exploding cactus brought to us by Ed's now truly questionable state-provided education. Whether you, dear listener, will be smarter or dumber after listening to this weeks episode is anybody's guess, but

This week’s episode welcomes back Andy, who returns to the podcast forum bearing cotton mouth, a headache, and clips from this past week's gig in Posh Teckel hosted by "Hawkin' Twang" with special guests "In Case of Crisis." And as a special treat, this week's clips are longer than usual, and if you would like to hear more from "In Case of Crisis" please follow the URL below to their Bandcamp page where you can enjoy their wonderful songs and support the band by purchasing their music.

A rare solo session from Ed this week as he guides us through the stream of consciousness that usually makes up his inner monologue. But fear not, all you Get Folked devotees. All of the soothing touch stones you know and love are to be found at your fingertips, just sounding 50 percent less sexy. We’ve got music, we’ve got musings, we’ve got current events, we’ve got life lessons, and we’ve got conclusions reached based on absolutely no insight whatsoever. So, without further ado, ladies and

The 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

Berlin's temperature turns up the heat on Andrew's wardrobe, as his sleeveless vest takes its rightful place at centre stage for this week's episode. When not hypnotized by Andrew's muscular arms, the guys also trundle through some Irish political history, so house-keeping will presumably be busy next week. And Ed shares another happy memory and an example of what not to do when entrusted with the deciding vote at an Annual General Meeting.Welcome to the Get Folked Podcast. This is a public episode

It's a real smorgasbord of an episode this week folks as Andy and Ed take us by the hand and guide us through their obsession with the natural world, specifically the yips and yaps of the Coyote and the under-handed fighting tactics of Grizzly bears. Of course this all neatly intertwines with the most recent musical escapades of Hawkin' Twang in the Posh Teckel Bar in Berlin. I don't want to over-sell this, but there have been reports that members of the audience were fleeing the bar in terror

In spite of technical issues and far too many swear words Andy and Ed bring you their latest thoughts, hopes, dreams, and recent achievements all set against the musical backdrop of Andy's rendition of "Pretty Polly". It's beautiful. Of course it wouldn't be The Get Folked Podcast without the guys man-handling some of the biggest questions the universe has to offer.

Would you rather have the mind of your eight year-old self in the body of your fifty eight year-old self? Or, have the mind of your fifty eight year-old self in the body of your eight year-old self? It is with such questions that the minds of tomorrow are moulded and the minutes of podcast episodes are populated. But beware! The "Would-You-Rather?" world is not for the faint of heart.And in the realm of music (this being a folk music podcast after all), Andy places a well-timed plug for the upcoming

Returned after last week's brief and, as yet, mysterious hiatus, Ed joins Andy on the latest Get Folked episode as they bring their opinions and complete lack of research to bear on the subject of men's health and come to the startling conclusion that not all crotch lumps are good lumps. 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".

Apologies to all the listeners out there. We were unable to join forces this week so it’s just a snapshot into Andrew's week as Ed takes a much needed rest to fight off those midlife ailments. It’s a 12min burst incorporating American literature, teenage angst and a look ahead to some gigs involving the guys. Get Folked Ed! This is a public episode.

Hard times make for hard decisions but if there is one thing Ed and Andy understand, is that looking good needs to be a baseline so, choose your groomer carefully. Ed ventures out to investigate Irelands late night ecosystem and pays homage to the southern fried footmen, protectors of truth, justice and your dining experience.

Andy's return to Berlin brings him face to ass with an entrepreneurial journeyman, whose choice of garb and means of income may or may not require explanation and/or payment and/or acceptance and/or respect and/or . . . . . . . ah screw it, we do our best, but we don't really know what the hell was going on in this situation. And as for Ed, "Sorry" seems to be the hardest word this week as he tries (and fails) to expand on last week's obsessive compulsion to dislike people based entirely on their
