  • Weekend Recap, Saint Patrick’s Prep, and How We Should Release New Music - EP38

    Nick calls Moses and Casey from home to break down the highs and lows from the past weekend’s shows as the band gears up for their Saint Patrick’s Day gig. While organizing cables and getting interrupted by a French bulldog, the conversation turns to a focused discussion on future releases. Nick lays out the options for new Folk Hogan music in 2026 or 2027, including CD, vinyl, and digital formats, and why listener input should help guide that decision.

  • Bandsgiving DND Part III – Piper Down Pub and the Final Battle with Murphy and the Giant - EP37

    It all comes to a head at Piper Down Pub. The final battle is here as the party faces Murphy, the Giant, and the consequences of everything they’ve done so far. Dice fly, plans unravel, and heroic moments emerge in the most Folk Hogan way possible. This is the conclusion of our Bandsgiving DND trilogy, replacing Jeopardy with combat, lore, and one last stand that feels way too familiar to anyone who’s ever played a show, loaded a van, or tempted fate on tour.

  • Bandsgiving DND Part II – Beer Festival, The Zombie Prince, and Inside of Moses’s Mind Maps -EP36

    The journey continues at a beer festival that feels cursed from the jump. The crew encounters the Zombie Prince, questionable crowds, and a series of choices that may or may not doom the party. We take a hard left straight into the inner workings of Moses’s mind maps, where strategy, lore, and absolute chaos collide. This episode is heavy on world building, wild character turns, and the kind of side quests that only happen when Folk Hogan plays DND.

  • Bandsgiving DND Part I – Load the Van and Head to the Show (Space and Faders) - EP35

    This year we’re skipping Folk Hogan Jeopardy and doing something much more unhinged. Welcome to Bandsgiving DND. In Part I, the band loads the van, rolls initiative, and heads out on a cosmic gig that immediately goes off the rails. Space bends, faders get pushed, and the line between tour life and tabletop chaos disappears fast. Characters are introduced, alliances form, and bad decisions are made early. This is the beginning of a three part Folk Hogan DND saga and things only get weirder from here.

  • EU episode – Live from a Treehouse Near Vaals – EP32

    From their IKEA-esque treehouse hideout in Gulpen, Folk Hogan reflect on the whirlwind first leg of their European tour. The band recaps their first four shows: a kickoff night in Zandam filled with new friends and bitterballen, a packed second show at The Skiff in Hilversum complete with gifts and Flügel shots, a lively festival in Tabiste where they sampled fried noodle patties, and a tight, high-energy gig at Uncle Sam’s in Nijverdal that ended with some unexpectedly delicious Dutch Chinese food.

    Food and drink become running themes: Casey’s first taste of bitterballen lived up to the hype, the crew got “iced” in the classic Smirnoff Ice Game, and they discovered that Flügel Shots involve tiny bottles, a duck mascot, and drinking without hands.
    Coffee culture sparks debate too—Nick powers through the days with cup after cup, while Casey learns the hard way that ordering an “Iced Coffee” in the Netherlands gets you hot coffee topped with ice cream instead. They even share a story about McDonald’s almost helping with an ankle injury but delivering a bag of ice… and a paper bag instead of the ice pack they needed. 
    The episode captures the humor, chaos, and charm of touring abroad: great crowds, quirky cultural differences, long drives, and a lot of gratitude for warm hospitality. It’s a mix of music, mishaps, and laughter that makes clear this tour is already one for the books.
