Get Folked

Howdy Ya’ll, never has it been so critical to sign up to the Get Folked Substack feed given the lads lack of consistency in turning in the episodes recently but… that’s what their all about. No…not inconsistency - spontaneity!! What is consistent is their ability to discuss bowel movements while, in the same one hour segment, segue seamlessly into the music. With a quick refresher on the trial and...

This week Andy sings his dark and brooding version of Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colours for a very good cause . . . . . . a cause which he will totally be able to name-check for next week. Ed continues to travel the road of good intentions and refuses to pull the finger out and just play a few f@€king songs for the love of God! ! And, for some reason, the psychological trauma behind wearing a wi...

Welcome back everybody. Andy and Ed catch up after an extended hiatus and cast their usual wide net of wonderment out into the sea of ignorance and bring forth from it’s murky depths a great many salmon of half-knowledge. Be it music, social questions, old-man rantings, or earnest Google searches, the quest for answers on The Get Folked Podcast is never-ending, so come join us for the latest episo...

Unfortunately, the internet connection during this week’s episode causes the normally free-flowing conversation to be slightly stilted, but if you bear with them, Andy and Ed will guide you through this week’s cultural excursions, uninformed musings, and phone misadventures, all of which involve confronting unwelcome bodily fluids. Welcome to the Get Folked Podcast. This is a public episode. If yo...

There’s a fair amount of camping talk this week as Andy and Ed share notes on the do’s and don’ts of being one with nature after Ed’s recent wild camping experience. The late Dolly Parton also gets honourable mention as well as some musical recommendations and upcoming gigs from the guys and Ed speaks (but definitely doesn’t brag) about a gift he was given which will keep on giving well into the f...

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, s...

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 e...

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 evide...

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...

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 insig...

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. https://journal.denkeler-foto.de/2015/01/mutationen-an-einem-wilden-tag-in-kreuzberg-mutoid-waste-company/ This is a pub...

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 m...

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 soup...

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 lov...

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. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other...

If you’re the type of person who is looking for ideas, titles, and/or themes for your next adult movie project, then you could do worse than listen to this week’s episode of The Get Folked Podcast. If you are the type of person who has many unimportant questions about pike, but do not really care about the accuracy of the answers to those questions, then you could do worse than listen to this week...

This week’s episode of The Get Folked Podcast presents a case study on the subject of: Just because you can make an analogy, doesn’t mean that you should make an analogy. And, as an added bonus, we would also like to take this opportunity to direct your attention to a Podcast called “Dating, Laughter, and Disasters” by Lulu Johnson, which is referenced and recommended by Ed this week (albeit witho...

A musical instrument, whose name poses more than a few risque eptymological questions, takes centre stage this week as Andy and Ed explore what it means to belong at a session. Also up for discussion this week: How much B12 is too much? Where does the term “Bluetooth” come from? And just how hot was your average Viking? Are you not entertained? Come join us for this week’s episode of The Get Folke...

If it is indeed better to be late than never, then this week’s episode of The Get Folked Podcast is better than we could have ever expected. That’s our way of acknowledging that we are entering your ears slightly later than you expect this week. But instead of dwelling on the past, let’s move on to the future, or at the very least, the present and join Andy and Ed as they trailblaze through a lita...

Field duty calls, as Ed and Andrew cross various borders on their European tour. A solid 20min set, a feast, frolics in the field and a forsaken French fluency await you along with some priceless tech updates , a masterclass in conflict resolution and a live performance to bookend the episode…go on, get folked. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or g...

This week takes Andy through the thronged (and flirtatious, but only if you’re good-looking enough) streets of Berlin as the May-Day festivities bring forth the young and old alike for a day of dancing, drinking, and the forging of friendships. But wait! What has Ed been doing all week? For the full answer to that very valid question, we cordially invite you to listen to this week’s episode of The...

What does it mean to be a European? Is it a geographical location? Is it a belief in the great modern democratic ideals? Is a set of shared economic goals? Is it sitting naked and sweaty in cloud of pine scented steam with a group of hairy men for no other reason than to strictly observe a set of well defined and long established rules so as to achieve some vague and ill-defined health benefits wh...

Berlin’s modular scene is surgically dissected using a spoon and a fridge magnet with predictable results as the boys break down their understanding of the beeping and the booping. The lads take a small peak into what’s “fresh” on the internet but what they find can be better described as stale and sticky. Ed’s optimistic, Andy less so but the view from the trenches is never too bright. Get Folked...

Ed breaks out the Bob at his local session and while Arthur’s oil lubricates the word flow, it tends to seize the engine. A predicament no doubt but further study is required before any rash decisions are made. The lad's next gig is fast approaching, a high profile wedding nestled in the French riviera awaits. They must ensure that their high expectations and dedication to detail does not detract...

Direct from Austria, and lauding the famous exploits of one of history’s greatest ever goat hunters, Andy brings a veritable alpine avalanche of positive presence and panache, all while drinking a beer from what is possibly a cock pump. And Ed is also speaking during this episode. It’s the Get Folked Podcast. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get...
