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 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...

It’s a late and solo addition to The Get Folked Podcast canon as Ed takes us through a typical late-night thought map sojourn. The destination is unknown, but it’s really all about the journey and with waypoints like surgically engorged penises and lemon curd yogurts, what a journey it will be. Join us for the better late than never episode of The Get Folked Podcast. This is a public episode. If y...

Better late than never! Andy and Ed finally get their sh!t together and get this week’s episode out. The subject matter is diverse, and for some reason their collective outlook on things this week can best be described as “cranky old man” so get prepared, dear listener, for a stern talking to as the guys delve into what it is that ails society. Hint: “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, b...

Morning time madness descends onto The Get Folked Podcast this week as Ed is forced out of bed at the un-Godly time of 09:30 to record this week. But he totally doesn’t make a big deal about it and is completely over it and ultimately, neither sleep nor wakefulness will help him to answer that eternal question: Just how much should we fear the swans? And Andy shows flashes his pre-frontals this we...

Ed and Andy briefly discuss what it takes to keep a town tidy before moving on to one of this week’s central subjects; the emotionally rousing musical scores of Hans Zimmer as performed by a string quartet, which Andy went to see this week. Actually, they were a Quintet if you count the really smelly guy that Andy had to sit beside as part of the performance, which we do. . . . . . So well done to...

The rise and fall of a chat group, tackling the homeless problem, sex-ed and naked ice baths. Good folk, Get Folked! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit getfolked.substack.com

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! This...

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...

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 is a public episod...

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 ser...

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...

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...
