We’ve got some lovely music from a Berlin based Open Mic this week. With acts as varied as they are wonderful. And as if musical culture wasn’t enough, the guys role the dice in real time on how best to use the language of today’s youth. Spoiler alert! It’s totally slay. Like, really really slay.And at the very end of the episode, Ed finally gets confronted about his poor communication skills. But he handles it very well. No, he’s not just saying that because he is the one writing this blurb. I’m not getting angry. You are! No, you shut up!It’s the Get Folked podcast. This is a public episode.

Episode 89 - Tessellating Tales
Music gets pride of place on this week's episode of The Get Folked Podcast (well, to begin with anyway) as Andy and Ed talk about the album "Not For The Gallery" from Rufus Coates and Jess Smith. Andy met them in Berlin. How cool is that? That's right, it's very cool. You can catch the album via the URL below. It's very very very good. And while the guys do a better job with the music this week, they would be remiss if they didn't share some of this week's musings with us. And what musings they are: Andy flouts one of capitalism's central tenets and adopts a "buy high and sell low" approach at his jumble sale; somewhere a stock exchange is in freefall and nobody knows why. Also up for discussion: How to escape justice in a very specific way.And last, but not least, Year 2 of The Broad Majestic Shannon music Festival took place in in Kilbarron village in North Tipperary this weekend. Ed was there and it was awesome. Come join us for a listen.https://rufuscoates.bandcamp.com/album/not-for-the-gallery This is a public episode.

Episode 88 - Get Moving or . . .
Folk music takes another hit this week as it moves to the backseat in place of some very important topics including, but not limited to, some pretty liberal suggestion changes to official Catholic Liturgy, driving test reminiscences, and the details of picking the right military portrait of yourself if you are an Irish nationalist hero.The guys also catch up on house keeping and give Dominic Beehan his fair dues and explore some of his best known song titles. And finally, finally, we find out what Ed did with his confirmation money. Did he invest it? . . . Kind of. This is a public episode.
