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

2025/12/08

Your chariot (by which I mean your not-so-new diesel hatchback) awaits dear listener. Join Andy and Ed, our two intrepid adventurers, as this week they navigate the boreens and the pot-holes of the North Tipperary Countryside and embark on the Unravelling Shane MacGowan Trail. There will be facts, there will be anecdotes, there will be questionable claims made, there will be many a sight seen and many a sound heard, and yes, fellow adventurers, we will be stopping for bathroom breaks.

2025/12/01

Ed and Andy mark this moment in history, as two middle aged Dads in the prime of their careers choose to do, by complaining. The world is moving too fast, discos are too loud and I’m pretty sure the neighbour nicked me garden hose.Apologies for delayed release - that’s so Get Folked! This is a public episode.

From deep inside the velvet curtain, comes a tale exterior. Deceptive confusion?One seeks to hide...Nay!! Highlight!.. man’s deepest understanding of which all have but, few set free. Secrets kept, while the innocent crawled and begged for mercy. Their flower being plucked from the very garden charged with sheltering them.We also talk Shobsy, My Baby and our upcoming gig.

Episode 98 - Over Egging

2025/11/16

This 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? What is a “Bay Window”? Are the answers to these questions contained within this episode? Not really, but don’t let that put you off. Join us for another episode of The Get Folked Podcast.

Episode 97 - A Musical Odyssey

Get Folked ·

2025/11/09

This 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

Episode 96 - The Blasphemous Oxter

Get Folked ·

2025/11/02

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

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

In this weeks episode, thanks to our freelance research team, Ed uncovers one of Quantum Leap’s lazier moments in terms of video editing and Andrew, given his understanding of the show’s premise, is both concerned and a little confused by storyline.Tales of lone busking, movie screenings and forest stadiums are shared.

2025/09/28

We’ve got some lovely music from a Berlin based Open Mic this week. With acts as varied as they are wonderful. And as if musical culture wasn’t enough, the guys role the dice in real time on how best to use the language of today’s youth. Spoiler alert! It’s totally slay. 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

Episode 90 - Fashion Police

2025/09/21

Andy puts the "war" into wardrobe discussions this week as he savagely attacks Ed's choice of jumper for the Podcast. Spoiler alert: Andy forgot that he gave Ed said jumper.Fashion faux pas aside, the guys also keep you up to date on their embarrassing stories as a way of making you all feel better about yourselves. It really should be considered a public service broadcast for this section.And this week, music makes a comeback as Andy brings us all the latest sounds from the streets of Berlin. Even

Episode 89 - Tessellating Tales

2025/09/15

Music 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. And while the guys do a better job with the music this week, they would be remiss if they didn't share some of this week's musings with us. And what musings they

Episode 88 - Get Moving or . . .

2025/09/07

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

Episode 87 - Pressure Put

2025/09/01

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.

Episode 86 - The Slide of Parnell

2025/08/24

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.

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
