This week Andy (it is Andy, right?) guides us through his musical wanderings of the past few days in Berlin. He saw and heard a talented person perform dressed as an Orca. He saw regular folk music singers play regular folk music songs. He saw drummers who had never drummed before and who somehow managed to be awesome at it. He saw dogs wanting to be in bands and people barking like dogs. He even found time to perform on stage himself and got complemented by a member of The Murder Capital. Wow!And Ed . . . . , well Ed had a quiet week. Welcome to The Get Folked Podcast. This is a public episode.

Episode 96 - The Blasphemous Oxter
There’s no getting around it. The second take of this week’s episode evokes imagery of a straight-up lustful nature. I don’t think Andy and Ed have quite achieved “smut” status, but between the silk tights and water-filled sex dolls (that’s warm water, just in case you’re wondering), the guys have definitely wandered into “taboo” territory. But, as usual, these delicate subject matters are handled with the greatest of respect and in the sombre tones which can only be borne by the well-informed. Trust me dear listener, you will depart this week’s episode entertained, enlightened, and if you have the predilections of a middle-aged man living in the highlands during the 1950s, possibly aroused.

Episode 95 - Leper Number 5
SPOILER ALERT! If you haven’t seen Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985), two things: Firstly, Ed speaks extensively, lovingly, obsessively, about this movie during this week’s episode, so get ready for that. Secondly, if you haven’t yet seen this movie, please get your life together. It’s 40 years old for goodness’ sake. What have you been doing all these years?And keeping with the movie theme of the week, Andy and Ed get the creative juices flowing and, through sheer force of will, produce absolute screenplay gold. It’s very hard to describe what happened this week as anything other than the birth of a franchise. Invest Now . . . . . . somehow. This is a public episode.
