Remember how Helen discovered in Season 6 that she could blow litter up into the outer atmosphere, with a single puff of her magic breath? Well, apparently the Institude for Digitised Research in Atlanta, Georgia, is still working on the project to collect it into capsules and shoot it all into the sun.
This Bonus episode introduces Australian actress and director, Suzanne Little, to the team. Suzanne also happens to be Associate Professor, Theatre Studies, School of Performing Arts, and Director – Performance of the Real Research Theme at the
University of Otago | Te Whare Wānanga o Otāgo

A glorious spring day, plus the need to keep moving, so I took my phone for a walk and recorded some thoughts. High on my agenda at the moment is the need to keep promoting "Am I Old Yet?", the will to start recording "Baked Off!" and the long held desire to raise the profile of the human voice—what it is, what it means, and what we stand to lose if we fail to respect it. Also, stick around till the end and you'll be introduced to a marvellous podcast, "The Final Say", with Debra Jarvis, available at https://thefinalsaypodcast.com.

So new, that I haven't finished writing it yet. But I'm excited enough to want to share with you something about it. Once I've finished writing, there will be a full cast readthrough, then recording and all the production work begins. But in the meantime, there will be the odd glimpse into whatever Helen is getting up to, in preparation for Season 10. If you have clicked on 'subscribe' or 'follow' in your podcasting app, you'll be notified whenever there's something new to listen to. And if you invite just one other person to listen to "Am I Old Yet? " - well, it would help to keep it going.
Thanks for listening. Stay safe.
