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 27 - Late for Mass

Get Folked ·

2024/06/24

Andrew takes a break from maths this week and immerses himself in all things musical, from a classically trained Japanese guitarist on the outskirts of Berlin to the expressive notes of some avant-garde ping-pong balls closer to home.Meanwhile, a slightly hungover Ed ponders aloud some of the big mysteries of our time; Why does online shopping so often result in the unintentional purchase of "clown pants"? and, If one's underpants can mistakenly be considered to be invisible, are potential "Peeping

Episode 26 - Father's Day and am, sexy Yetis

Get Folked ·

2024/06/17

Andy 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? Could this be the issue that gets Andy and Ed elected to the next EU Parliament? (Actually, these last two sentences weren't discussed during

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. And for all you music lovers out there, if earth-shattering mathematics isn't your thing, fear not,

2024/06/03

Where 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. All of this is, of course, set against the back-drop of Andy's most recent excursion into the world of Albanian Folk Music (this link will take you to the site of that

Episode 23 - The Pleasure Dome

2024/05/26

Theology 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

2024/05/20

BOOM! Another Get Folked episode makes it to the editor's desk before deadline. Tactics on how to make friends are discussed as well as the chronic shortage of Bouncy Castles. Is this an indication of the decline of western civilization or merely a minor inconvenience to too many stressed out parents as they cram themselves into one small urban location? And, in a rare melancholy moment for the podcast, daylight robbery strikes in Berlin! This one is an emotional roller coaster. Also, Ed is wearing

Episode 21 - The Southern Lights

Andy 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 help of

Andy returns to the competitive sports arena but isn’t ready for the intimacy involved in being part of a team. Ed cleans up some of last week's rambling with a few added tidbits. 80’s TV culture still guides them in the modern world of communication. Trips back memory lane bring stories of rural whistling techniques and sound engineers lacking visual, but more importantly, audio understanding of sound equipment, and that’s coming from us! It’s episode 18 and Getfolked is all grown up…sort of. This

Brassless Balls. “Better the lie that draws a smile, than a truth that draws a tear!” Ed keeps it real in housekeeping, The LouvRe, it’s pyramid (glorious!) and teachers explaining abstinence while touring the wonders of Paris are barely mentioned. Andrew segues neatly into his marathon running days and waddles around EuroDisney in search of stormtroopers.

A day late (Clocks went forward!) but Ed and Andrew took to the stage once more. Rebranding the band is given a game show veneer, Napoleon's exploits in both Italy and Germany are discussed with Andrew wandering the famous monument to the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig. Bessie Smyths rise and untimely end are discussed. It may or may not be groundhog day in terms of storytelling but as always, Ed and Andy bite the bullet, grow some brass balls and get poetic.

Another wonderful Paddys weekend in Berlin comes to an end and Andrew and Ed have learned some valuable lessons on their live podcast adventures. Mainly to do with on/off buttons. An great set by Berlin based trio Hoomyin settles any doubts as to whether this was all worth it by giving everyone at the event a unique performance and finally, Ed, Andrew, Pauline, Kyle and Alex take to the stage to perform a few of their own songs to round off a perfect Paddy’s day.

It’s a pre-paddy's Get Folked bonanza. Mungret gets treated to a few new players, tunes and songs along with a fine spread of sambo’s to keep patrons locked in for the evening. Andrew visits two sessions in Berlin where he finally comes face to face with Growler, the 78 year old Vulva from Dublin and, while a table spontaneously collapsing in front of him can’t truly be attributed to any kind of weight issues, we’re sure he’s not completely innocent in that regard.Short note - We’ll both be in
