Am I Old Yet? — Comedy audio drama

At last, the big finale. Helen finds herself the centre of attention, so she has to take advantage of the situation and see if she can get some real changes happening. The Greek Gods are there to make sure she's safe, Team Helen also in support. Pity it's all a fiction, that's all I can say.

This is the end of Season 7.  I'm about to launch into the world of Podcast Interviews, but it will take a few weeks to organise. I'll let you know when it's ready. Helen's next big adventure will probably depend on the funding situation, so if you'd like to ensure that it happens, why not make a donation or drop a comment or review over at the website, www.amIoldyet.com.  You know you want to!

Thanks for listening.  Stay safe

At last, the big day has arrived, and Helen in a bit of a flap, getting ready to attend the 2023 UK Philanthropist of the Year Awards ceremony. She's wearing the fabulous one-off designer ball gown provided by the goddess Artemis, and Hermes is 'getting a lift'. What could possibly go wrong? I am joined by Frances Broudie Oldridge (Josie), John Warner (Jonathon) and Tayo Aluko (Deji) in the cast. Please let me know what you think of the story!

Helen's oldest friend, Joey, has some thoughts on the subject. That Gala Dinner is getting closer all the time. At least, now we have some idea what it's in aid of - and litter bins have little to do with it.

Helen is alone again, as the dog Hermes has gone off to Australia to visit her granddaughter Susie, and to enlist the stray dogs there to join in the litter cleaning campaign. She's enjoying a quiet early morning moment on her favourite park bench when she is joined by a handsome stranger.

Helen's new friends, a couple of Ancient Greek Gods, are at least attempting to be helpful. Hermes in the form of a dog  is staying with Helen in her London flat. Helen's neighbour Jennifer offers help out, and Susie, Helen's granddaughter calls up from Sydney with some exciting news and gets a dose of Gran-advice in return.

Helen's friendly walking companion is not a stray dog after all.  And she has a name. And those pesky Greek women just cannot leave her alone.  But there does seem to be some clarity emerging at last.

And we're back!  Season 7 finds Helen still in her 'safe house' in a parallel universe, trying to come to terms with her new founds 'super power' for blowing stuff into the air. She has been befriended by a local dog, and a walk through the woods leads to a surprising encounter. Meantime, the dog's owner is unhappy about something...

With Frances Brodie Oldridge as Marta and Christopher McDougall as the dog. Everybody else played by me.
