From the flax fields of France to the seductive streets of Coventry, forged in the mountains of Hokkaido while invoking the ancestral spirits of Saigon comes a podcast as old as time. He never expected to find love on a plane, but jumping out of one set in motion a series of events that would mildly inconvienance his life...FOREVER!
The people who brought you "Donkey Safari -A Journey from A to B" bring a tale of forbidden love, broken trust and legs.
This July 1st - Strap on...

Andrew takes a break from maths this week and immerses himself in all things musical, from a classically trained Japanese guitarist on the outskirts of Berlin to the expressive notes of some avant-garde ping-pong balls closer to home.
Meanwhile, a slightly hungover Ed ponders aloud some of the big mysteries of our time; Why does online shopping so often result in the unintentional purchase of "clown pants"? and, If one's underpants can mistakenly be considered to be invisible, are potential "Peeping Toms" happy or sad?
Join us for another wondrous wander.

Andy and Ed's attempt to hold each other to account for their verbal ticks takes a decidedly abrupt turn towards BDSM in the latest episode of the Get Folked podcast.
Reflections on Father's Day cause Andy to bemoan the fact that he gets scammed twice a year. Why does the EU fail to pass legislation synchronizing each nation's celebration of their Patriarchs? Could this be the issue that gets Andy and Ed elected to the next EU Parliament? (Actually, these last two sentences weren't discussed during the podcast, but sometimes these blurbs are hard to write and I need to add some filler).
A Berlin camping trip provides a strong case for why mosquitos need to f#@koff and find their own god-damn tent, while the ideas stay coming thick and fast as the guys float the concept for what sounds like a perfect movie sequel and somehow, inexplicably, the subject of sexy Yetis comes up. Finally, someone had the guts to say it!
It's all in Episode 26 of the Get Folked podcast (except the EU Parliament stuff).
Enjoy.

Join us for the 25th Episode of the Get Folked podcast as the silver jubilee descends upon us. Andy and Ed use this auspicious occasion to bid farewell to the world they once knew, in which the hardest thing about mathematics was long division, and step tentatively into a world where numbers define not just your name and the essence of your character, but the direction in which you should urinate.
And for all you music lovers out there, if earth-shattering mathematics isn't your thing, fear not, clips from singer-songwriter Niamh Regan's recent pop-up session at Steamboat music store in Limerick are on hand as she promotes her latest album "Come as you are".
This episode will leave you asking yourself two things: 1) Do I have what it takes to join the Pythagorean Brotherhood? and 2) Where can I find more Niamh Regan music? The answer to the first question, dear listener, is "Probably not". The answer to the second question can be found in the links below to Niamh Regan's Website, Instagram, and Spotify. But first, have a listen to Episode 25 of Get Folked and leave the world where 1+1=2 behind you forever.

Where once there was but darkness and ignorance in the world Andy and Ed come forth in the latest instalment of your favourite podcast and bequeath knowledge unto the masses through their illuminating discourse on literature, history, musical theory, mathematics, theology, and the deceptive ways of a very observational horse. All of this is, of course, set against the back-drop of Andy's most recent excursion into the world of Albanian Folk Music (this link will take you to the site of that excursion on instagram).
Honestly, this episode belongs in the lecture halls of prestigious universities, or should be beamed into outer space as an indication to all alien life of the high water mark in learning which has been reached by modern human civilization, failing those two mediums we'll also settle for your podcast app of choice.

Theology and Theme Parks make surprising conversational bed-fellows as Andy and Ed reminisce and compare notes on the pros and cons of being alter boys in their respective parishes back in the day (yes that day was the 80s). This subject causes the unexpected need for deep questions to be tackled head-on: Communism Vs Capitalism. Individual Enrichment Vs the Common Good. Should those who serve be paid for their service or should the wealth of the few be shared by the many? And just how old is too old before you should really stop getting on those tiny amusement rides meant for small babies? So many questions! What are we to make of it all? Listen to this week’s episode of "Get Folked" to find out more, while not necessarily finding any answers.

BOOM! Another Get Folked episode makes it to the editor's desk before deadline. Tactics on how to make friends are discussed as well as the chronic shortage of Bouncy Castles. Is this an indication of the decline of western civilization or merely a minor inconvenience to too many stressed out parents as they cram themselves into one small urban location?
And, in a rare melancholy moment for the podcast, daylight robbery strikes in Berlin! This one is an emotional roller coaster.
Also, Ed is wearing a peaked hat and sunglasses during this episode and possibly from now on. No big deal.

Andy asks Ed to write the podcast blurb for the first time. Ed panics and, due to a lack of any better ideas, decides to “go meta” and reference the act of writing the blurb within the blurb itself. I think it’s safe to say that Ed will never be asked to write the blurb again.
In this episode the guys talk about the fantastic physical feats of the O’Donovan’s of old down in West Cork and how they led directly to Ed’s clumsy behaviour as a tourist. Andy is doing some child-rearing with the help of electronic music, beat-boxing, and science. The Aurora Borealis making a rare appearance over Limerick and the merits of mercy killings for rodents in Berlin all serve to provide a veritable treasure trove of talking points ranging in scale from the truly cosmic to the down and dirty.

Andy returns to the competitive sports arena but isn’t ready for the intimacy involved in being part of a team. Ed cleans up some of last week's rambling with a few added tidbits. 80’s TV culture still guides them in the modern world of communication. Trips back memory lane bring stories of rural whistling techniques and sound engineers lacking visual, but more importantly, audio understanding of sound equipment, and that’s coming from us! It’s episode 18 and Getfolked is all grown up…sort of.

Ed and Andy reflect on the joys of medieval folk music. Ireland's rain plays havoc on the small plane industry. Faherty and the gang have some of life's deeper meanings hidden in the garden, just waiting to be dug up. Bill Bailey, Victorian instruments of pain (or pleasure) and all the flagellants with none of smell are discussed in this week’s episode.

Brassless Balls. “Better the lie that draws a smile, than a truth that draws a tear!” Ed keeps it real in housekeeping, The LouvRe, it’s pyramid (glorious!) and teachers explaining abstinence while touring the wonders of Paris are barely mentioned. Andrew segues neatly into his marathon running days and waddles around EuroDisney in search of stormtroopers. Along with Beyonce, Eastern Folk and a touch of genocide… these are the topics of this week's edition.

A day late (Clocks went forward!) but Ed and Andrew took to the stage once more. Rebranding the band is given a game show veneer, Napoleon's exploits in both Italy and Germany are discussed with Andrew wandering the famous monument to the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig. Bessie Smyths rise and untimely end are discussed. It may or may not be groundhog day in terms of storytelling but as always, Ed and Andy bite the bullet, grow some brass balls and get poetic.

Another wonderful Paddys weekend in Berlin comes to an end and Andrew and Ed have learned some valuable lessons on their live podcast adventures. Mainly to do with on/off buttons. An great set by Berlin based trio Hoomyin settles any doubts as to whether this was all worth it by giving everyone at the event a unique performance and finally, Ed, Andrew, Pauline, Kyle and Alex take to the stage to perform a few of their own songs to round off a perfect Paddy’s day.

Nominating themselves as poster boys for rip.ie, Ed and Andy are willing to seize on the website's potential for expansion. Stereotypes and outdated children's rhymes are navigated with caution. Sounds from the 5th edition of the Get Folked live event are shared and a few lovely ditties reveal themselves during an amazing evening of music at Madonna bar.

Etiquette is given some air time in this week's episode of Get Folked.

Andrew and Ed burn the midnight oil to bring you episode 8 of Get Folked. Andrew shares stories of his cultural, as well as professional exploits in Berlin this week. He finds himself coming face to face with teenage angst as well as South American hat shops. They reflect on Blind Boy’s discussions with Dee Mulrooney and her alter ego - Growler... the shamanic vulva (Not Vagina!). Ed grows nostalgic for high school education, STD’s and the subsequent joys of celibacy as well as pondering the ethical dilemma of whether he would prefer to be considered a tyrant or a wimp.

Fatigue and the common cold won't stop Ed and Andy bringing you chapter 7 of Get Folked. They're too damn committed. Witnness festival, the power of the harmony, serendipitous situations, music plans for March, cows and humankind’s assumed preference for an older gent, but a younger lady are discussed. And if the stories written by Woodward and Bernstein, whose groundbreaking investigative work would eventually lead to President Richard M. Nixon’s resignation interests you, then you are listening to the wrong podcast.
