Get Folked

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?

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 litany of topics, including their past linguistic (possibly sexual) glories, their respective odysseys, their views on eating in public, and being allowed to play on escalators.

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 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 Get Folked Podcast. Unfortunately, it involves battling some latent and highly embarrassing adolescent acne, which has been lying dormant for 25 years. Apparently, it can do that.

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 while drinking beer?
It’s a good question.
It’s actually a very good question.
Welcome to this week’s episode of The Get Folked Podcast.
