Am I Old Yet? the podcast

21/12/2023

I don't know whose idea it was (I do) to write two audio fiction series-es at once, but it's not a walk in the park, so to speak. Because it's very easy to get the characters mixed up in my mind, they threaten to drop into each other's houses, interfering with their lives, without so much as a by your leave!

For those of you who knew and loved our darling Allana, I've put together a compilation episode of her scenes in Am I Old Yet? the podcast.

Welcome to this personal tribute to my very dear friend Allana Noyes, who sadly passed away recently after a short illness. This is a compilation of th…

Buzzsprout took the trouble to put the data together, so here it is. There were fewer episodes this years, coz I took breaks in between seasons, coz I had work! Not a bad year, all round.

I did a voice acting job - here's what the 'boss' said: Bluscreen

Flloyd is a veteran of the industry and it shows. She's an incredible actor and knows exactly what you want--if she shows interest in your project you'd be crazy to pass her up!
Also, she has a podcast I would highly recommend tuning in to!

A coming of age story with a difference. Helen, in her late 70s, has recently discovered she has super powers. What could possibly go wrong? @…

You may, or may not have noticed that the Facebook Group attached to this page is now Private, with rules that have to be agreed to, and a question to answered correctly before entry will be granted. This is because we were bombarded with particularly graphic images of po*******hy. Facebook claims that it takes down any such images immediately, but no, they waited for us to report them, and then took 4 days to take them down. Hopefully we are now in a 'safe' space, relatively speaking.

Facebook claims to take down immediately any posts or comments that violate their principles, yet I have to single handedly delete the pornographic images that have been posted in the group. Not good enough!!! Oh, and I've managed to change the group status to Private, but they won't make it effective for another 3 days...

Staying at the Travelodge High Wycombe for AudioDramaHub Podfest. Comfortable, but the best thing is amazingly friendly and kind staff.

Yes, I've begun writing episodes for a whole new podcast - watch this space. Meantime, Helen's life goes on, but where to, and how? Any thoughts? Would you like more super powers, more messed up attempts to save humanity, or would you prefer more family and 'real' life? Not that saving humanity ain't real... I'd love to know your thoughts!

A favour! Anyone based in the US, who has access to the iHeart podcasting app. Could you please confirm for me that Am I Old Yet? is available on it? Thank you!

And it's a done deal! Another season wrapped up, and I shall now turn my attention to entering those awards thingies, not to win, but to get the show exposed to a potentially wider audience. Episode 8 of Season 8 is now available for your listening pleasure.

Episode 8 brings Season 8 to a conclusion with the Epilogue. Zeus attempts to wrangle his disobedient children into some sort of order. Helen gets good n…

There's nothing I love better than playing with other actors. And this week's episode has given me a lot of joy over the weeks it took to put it all together. Christopher McDougall - Actor (Hermes), Roy J Carruthers (Loki), Tayo Aluko (Anansi) and Matthew Field (the Right Honourable Jonas Scillily MP, Minister for the Environment and Food Production) all in the same (virtual) room, voicing/embodying three of the great tricksters of the world's mythologies, plus one - how can I put this politely? - ambitious, devious, greedy, fictitious of course, public figure.

Ep 7 and Helen finds herself delivered to wherever it is that the Trickster Gods (Anansi, Loki and Hermes) have arranged to meet up with the Minister for…

Starting to get some orders for the long sleeved t-shirt, the more I get the more the price comes down. Here's the size chart. Click on the image to see all the sizes. Let me know what you'd like, I shan't order them until the price is acceptable!

30/08/2023

My first T-shirt! Should have ordered M rather than S, but hey ho, I like it! If anyone else would like one, let me know. The more I can order, the cheaper they get.

Have you listened to Ep 6 yet?. You'll find René on the radio, while Artemis and Persephone persuade Helen that her super hero journey is in need of a lift, literally. Wait - what? Christopher McDougall - Actor plays René, plays Tom Maximan. I do the others.

HELP!!! This is so hard!! I have to pick one episode to suggest to the new App Heard.FM for them to promote for me. Out of 112!! I try listening to this one, and that one, (having forgotten what the earlier ones were about) and I just love them all. Does that make me a bad person? It certainly makes it impossible for me to choose just one.

Ep 5 of Season 8 is now available in all your favourite podcasting apps. Absolute delight to work with (Loki) Tayo Aluko (Anansi) and Christopher McDougall - Actor (Hermes). Three trickster gods in one room? What could they possibly get up to? Susie wants Helen to Do Something!

Zeus arrives home, Hera is not best pleased... Rene has good news, Janey is still worried about the paparazzi, but Helen heads over to the park on her own anyway to meet up with her new besties, the goddesses Demeter and Persephone. What? You want more? Ok, next week...

There's trouble on Mt Olympus, when Zeus (Ira Seidenstein) arrives home to find out what his favourite child Hermes (Christopher McDonald) has been up to. Rene (also Christopher McDonald)  gets the result from his audition for "Kidnapped", an...

I lost a day... So I woke up today thinking it was Thursday, and I'd better prep my latest episode for upload. Early. But no. I'm late. But it's up there now! Helen and Joey enjoying a natter about old lady stuff, while Jonas (Matthew Field) has let slip that he's being wined and dined by the Oil moguls. And believe me, I wrote that months ago. Prescient, or what?

The latest episode of my podcast/Audio Fiction/Radio comedy/Aural Entertainment concludes with a scene between a high profile (fictitious) politician and his secretary. When I wrote it, I thought I was being fanciful, providing a possible, even probably scenario. According to today's news, it turns out I was simply reporting the way things work up there...

Helen's young friend Rene, played by Christopher McDougall, is lodging with her at the moment, and offers to treat her to lunch at her favourite Cheese Shop Cafe, where there's fresh wait staff  (Lucy Wareing). Demeter and her daughter Persep...

Did you catch the latest episode (No 2 “Friends in High Places”) yet? There’s Helen (played by me) trying to keep up with young René (the versatile Christopher McDougall - Actor) on the way to the Cheese Shop Cafe for lunch, where there’s a new waitress ( “Enemy of the Heart”), 2 Greek Goddesses (also me) having a flying conference at 30,000 ft, and that Extremely Important Politician the Right Honourable (as if…) Jonas Scillily, Minister for the Environment and Food Production)( “Affcted”) getting caught out by his new secretary (the gorgeous Frankii Phoenix “Secret Circus”)

Discovered a beautiful fiction podcast called "Seen and Not Heard" by Caroline Mincks. She encourages us to provide transcripts of all our work, to include the hard of hearing. And since I'm rapidly becoming one of them, I'm doing just that. Do let me know if you find them helpful.

Ep 1 of Season 8 went live at 12am this morning, and as usual there are 7 downloads when I wake up, so that's the US loyal listeners. This is another "Helen walks and talks" episode, because sometimes if you want a sensible answer, you just have to ask yourself... (that's right, isn't it Nana Funk?)

Helen is trying to figure out who, what, where and why, talking to herself out loud, as usual. Her daughter Janey is worries about her, but there's nothing new in that.
