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. They could have easier names to pronounce though…just saying. Get Folked!

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. It’s Get Folked.

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.)

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.

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.

A wander down the local canal brings Andy to a unique annual Summerfest on Görlitzer Park’s borders. Ed joins a trio and takes to the busy streets of Miltown Malbay to entertain old men.

There’s hats, art, literature, hot debate and weather…there’s got to be weather.

Get Folked.

This week’s episode sees Andy and Ed don their Ethology hats to discuss the cultural, nocturnal, and predatory habits of the cats in their lives. In summary, cats are weird! These newfound hats also remain in place for the follow-up discussion on how exactly human swimmers manage to poo in a swimming pool. In summary, humans are also pretty weird!

P.S. Don’t worry if you don’t know what Ethology means, we had to Google it as well. Welcome to The Get Folked Podcast. Enjoy the episode.

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.

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! Maybe they’re giving out about something you also like to give out about and you want to shout out “Yeah!” to yourself in the car on the way to work, or while lying in bed at night next to your soulmate after some passionate love-making.

If that’s the case, it’s probably in the best interests of your mental health to just tune in and catch your weekly dose of cathartic chatter.

It’s The Get Folked Podcast.

This week’s episode is kind of special for two reasons:

* It’s two days late. Wow! (and sorry)

* It’s dedicated to Ed’s experiences at last weekend’s Beyond the Pale music festival.

That’s right everyone, for once Ed has brought the musical goods to an episode of The Get Folked Podcast, albeit in a slightly drunken way.

Enjoy.
