Am I Old Yet? — Comedy audio drama

Am I Old Yet? — Comedy audio drama

A coming-of-age, slice of life, audio fiction comedy with a difference. Our ageing heroine shares senior moments, family relationships and adventures—entertaining and a wee bit provocative. In Season 6 some ancient Greek deities choose her to 'save the planet' - if she only knew what her superpower was. Written, performed and produced by Aussie-born, Liverpool-based actress, singer-songwriter and performance poet Flloyd Kennedy with guest performers on 3 continents. Please support the podcast - you can subscribe at Patreon.com/amIoldyet. ★★★★★ "This is delightful storytelling from Flloyd Kennedy. Gentle but deceptively sharp; underestimate the characters populating this podcast at your own peril. The writing, performance and music are all a joy."

Thunder's Mouth Theatre presents: "Oh Susie!" Episode 11 of Season 11. And yes, it does feel weird concluding a season on an odd number. But, as I'm fond of telling my students and clients, 'weird' is a great word, it means 'something I'm not used to, so I'm expanding my universe'.  We pick up where we left off at the end of Episode 10, when Susie offers herself to take up Preshanni's job as the wait staff in Mrs Patel's cafe. Her ...

This is Part 1 of Episode 10, or you can just call it Episode 10, because Megaphone will call the next one Episode 11, no matter what I call it.  Never mind. Helen and Susie are still on a mission to find out what is going on with Preshanni, the young woman who went messing a couple of episodes ago. They know where she is - back with her family in South Africa, but they still don’t know why. Mrs Patel, Preshanni’s former employer, ...

Helen and Susie  are still concerned that Preshanni went missing just after Ciara went off to France, so they on their way to Mary’s house to see if Ciara left any information behind, indicating where Preshanni might have gone.  I wonder if I can manage to wrap up the mystery in the next episode, in which case that will be a ‘wrap’ for Season 11! ...

Helen finds herself on the receiving end of some rather disturbing news, and some sad, but not unexpected news. This episodes includes discussions of missing persons, and grief.  And now for a quote from the makers of my favourite sci fi podcast, Midnight Burger - "it’s free to listen to a podcast, but it’s not free to make", so if you’d care to make a donation towards our production expenses, head over to buymeacoffee.com/amIoldye...

Episode 6 finds Helen at her favourite cafe, chatting with Ilse about playing card games on her iPad. But before we go there, I thought you might like to know why we call ourselves Thunder’s Mouth Theatre. Back in the day, I played Queen Eleanor in a production of Shakespeare’s play “The Life and Death of King John”. It was produced by John Warner’s production company in Brisbane, and performed at the then abandoned Boggo Road Jail...

Helen has gone missing, so daughter Janey and granddaughter Susie team up to track her down. This episode is an experiment, in that it takes the form of a series of telephone calls. A bit like the old 'epistolatory' genre, only using message bank rather than the post office.
