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."

An Origin Story

October 7, 2025 • 19 mins
I'm now half way through production of Season 12, which I hope to begin releasing to you by the end of November. In the meantime, here is a bonus for you. It's a recording of a poem I wrote a couple of years ago, inspired by a painting by my then 14 year old granddaughter, Natalie Kennedy. It was performed earlier this year at an event in Liverpool involving poets and jazz musicians improvising along with them. So many people came ...

Oh Susie!

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, ...
