Get Folked

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, sublime dress sense and the fluffiest of fluffy hair…they are amazing people who’s story, and the stories they tell leave you in awe. They could have easier names to pronounce though…just saying. Get Folked!

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 eclipses and meteor showers, discuss Belarusian folk (and Andy’s need to redeem himself and find a mate), Randy Newman and the magical beats and rhymes of RUN DMC. It’s Get Folked.

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 evidence they are drawing from.
Joyful! Joyful! Get Folked.
(Note - A glitch due to “online maintenance” of the podcasting program causes two blips in sound. Please excuse us talking over one another towards the end of the episode - this lasts about 15secs. Also, the outro music fails us so please use your imagination and don’t sit there in some sort of Get Folked trance awaiting them banjo twangs. I’ve been assured by Sam, our podcast pilot, that we will both sound better and, even more intelligent in future episodes.)

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 that you are used to being discussed, but just a little harder to hear. In risk management terms this is what is referred to as a “Grey Rhino”.
That being said, we hope that you can still enjoy hearing it as much as they enjoyed making it.

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 insights into the world of sports will leave regular listeners of the podcast completely unsurprised.
