Flloyd with another update. The script is complete, and I've managed to meet some other podcasters not a 100 miles away. 

And by the way, do check out Carousel Radio,  "a show and a podcast that is planned and presented by our learning disabled DJs and radio presenters. It’s one of the only places on the radio where you can hear spoken word exclusively by learning disabled artists." Impressive, and fun.

Update on my halting progress, writing new episodes, a mini bonus episode featuring Christopher McDonald and myself improvising a scene that takes place the day after S7 Ep9 "What a Kerfuffle", and a shoutout to Matthew Dempsey's excellent horror fantasy podcast "The Stygian Chronicles". Enjoy.

I'm still beavering away, writing up the new season. But this week I was also busy rehearsing and then performing live, 2 gigs here in Liverpool. So I thought I'd share some thoughts on the experience, and why Ai will not get the better of me any time soon...

The podcast is still on hiatus, working on the script for Season/Series 8. I was in London for the Podcast Show London 2023, and  met up with actor Christopher McDougall for lunch. The traffic sirened around us, and the cafe door squeaked endlessly, yet we managed to record a snippet of conversation to share with you. Enjoy!

Still working on the script for Season 8. Here's a song written in the form of riddle, quite popular in the folk tradition.  This one was inspired by a song-writing workshop challenge.  Thanks for listening, stay safe.

Something different while we wait for Season 8 to land. Yet another one of my songs. This one was written for a musical that never eventuated, about an ageing actress trying to restart her career. Here she prepares for an audition, and expresses the thoughts any one who has been involved in a 'cattle call' audition will appreciate. 

Helen's fans will be pleased to hear that Episode 1 of Season 8 has been scripted! Please help to spread the word, share links to the podcast on social media. And of course, any donations towards running costs are most gratefully received. www.amIoldyet.com/donate.

This song was originally written for a play-with-music, "Blame it on Your Mother", back in the early 2000s. I thought, at the time, that I was fictionalising my own experience to gift to a character who had more sense than me. But time passed, and as it happened, this is exactly how my relationship with my mother panned out! So yes—another autobiographical song.

I perform it unaccompanied because I don't have a white grand piano and a fantastic accompanist to work with.  And my ukulele just doesn't cut the mustard for this particular song.

Bonus Episode, an autobiographical song, all about me! Plus a heads up about the new, spinoff podcast I'm working on in which I'll be talking to some of my friends and colleagues about their life experience, creative process and attitudes to ageing. Watch this space!

Theme music is by John T LaBarbera, composer and instrumentalist extraordinaire. www.johntlabarbera.com.

Back in the mists of time, I wrote a stage play called "Blame it on Your Mother", which consisted of a series of monologues, duologues and songs on the theme of mother/daughter relationships.  Here is the voice of the 6 year old, telling it how it is. Enjoy.

Something to keep you entertained while I get on with inventing new adventures for Helen.  Contemporary folk song, about singers, poets and storytellers
