Get Folked

An obscure turn of phrase dominates the early proceedings of this weeks episode but the lads eventually gather themselves and refocus. Andrew enjoys a Friday night Sofa Session in Wedding, where he is treated to a cracking selection of sound and song.

Ed alienates another contemporary although, as names go, if someone mistook me for a Brendan, I’d be okay with it. Bad boy Brendan…Get Folked!

An exception rather than the norm, Ed and Andy find themselves discussing current affairs in this weeks episode. Between the families being kept apart at Dublin airport, to international representatives using their platform to mend bridges and bandage broken hearts, the lads, like everyone else attempt to make sense of the world around them, dabbling in ethical waters as they seek to find balance within life's kaleidoscope of wonder.

That pudding needs more eggs…get folked!

The lads share their respective experiences when visiting the magical land of flatpacks. Ed gets a surprise inspection while on clean-up duty. Andy laments the all you can eat gurken and onion buffet. Naturally, all this talk of food and romance leads the lads into an oil wrestling deep dive where both action, and intent, are in question. Let’s get greasy, let's get folked.

This week’s episode has been briefly delayed due to the exuberance with which Andy and Ed celebrated Saint Brigid’s day this year. But, with all that cross making fun put behind them and with their gigantic memorial Brigid cloaks now neatly folded and placed into the sacred Brigid chest, itself placed inside their sacred Brigid chapels (which every Irish home has), it’s time to get back to the serious matter of the podcast.

Is Andy being hacked? Is horse riding animal cruelty? Or, is it human cruelty if the human is shit enough at horse riding? How many edges does a sword actually have? Do analogies still work on you even if you are a little bit stupid? All these questions and more shall be unsuccessfully tackled in this week’s episode of The Get Folked Podcast.

Bavul makes a reappearance on the Podcast this week as Andy brings us tunes and tales from this singularly wonderful Berlin music venue.

But it wouldn’t be The Get Folked Podcast without some meandering musings and, with this in mind, yet even more band name suggestions are thrown around willy-nilly, Andy’s guitar lessons now include the use of a guitar, and Ed confronts a fate worse than death as he attempts to extract just a tiny bit of accountability from an unapologetic customer service department. . . . . . . . . . Well, maybe not worse than death, but it is kind of inconvenient.

After all this, you will be left with only one question. Is this ASMR?

First and foremost this week Andy and Ed show their maturity and actually manage to resist the urge to buy yet another URL with a somewhat raunchy name. However, they then go on to show their immaturity and talk on and off about various forms of poo for the rest of the podcast.

But if poo-talk isn’t your thing, don’t worry. The guys have you covered as they weave their words through the worlds of cultural and artistic expression and the intellectual conclusions which can be drawn from inhabiting these worlds. . . . . . mostly it’s poo talk though.

Let’s Get Folked.

This week the boys brave technical difficulties, minor pandemics (localized to Ireland at least), and blatant steroid abuse, to bring their buff bodies and valid opinions on a wide variety of matters straight into your ears.

It’s been a new year for a while now and, while Andy feels he has already achieved peak perfection and will brook no talk of January resolutions, Ed has set his sights on both musical and gymnastic glory. What a time to be alive. It’s 2026 and this is the Get Folked Podcast.

Ed reigns it in!! The ship, clearly a two man operation, gets caught in the crossfire of modern socio-political standpoints but Ed manages to talk Andy down from the precipice of ignorance.

Ryan’s of Carney help keep the engine running, Ed fine tunes the facts and Andy’s in the pantry, protein packing.

Faites-vous folklore!

Ed and Andy, together again. It’s hunting season and although the battle grounds have evolved, the prey and our need to find her lives on…for now.An episode firmly focused on the day that’s in it. Well half of it at least.Get Folked everyone.

The 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, this week the guys talk about online and off line scams for some reason, and waaaaaaay too late in the episode, they plug their upcoming annual Wren Hunt around North Tipperary. Catch them if you can. It’s The Get Folked Podcast.
