Get Folked
Get Folked is a long-format, comfort-noise podcast anchored to casual discussions around folk music with enough slack on the chain to allow the conversation to drift into the uncertain waters of parenting, mid-life career choices, living in a foreign country, returning home, whiskey sampling, and entertainment. Join us as we explore the subjects of Irish and international culture, artists, live music sessions, song lyrics, and song-writing.
