A coming-of-age, audio fiction comedy with a difference. Our ageing heroine shares senior moments, family relationships and adventures—entertaining and a wee bit provocative. In Seasons 6 to 9 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. ★★★★★ "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." I use Buzzsprout and it makes hosting this podcast a smooth and enjoyable process.

Helen and Pattie have a lot of catching up to do. Helen and her daughter Janey seem to be happy enough to keep their own counsel—for the time being.

episode 13: Remembrance of Things Past
Memories can be a comfort, or a cause of distress. And when memories disappear, it's hard to know who feels it the most.

Helen is still struggling to write down some of hers, worrying that daughter Janey might be upset. But we can always learn something new about our nearest and dearest.
