Am I Old Yet? — Comedy audio drama

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.

Helen is trying to figure out who, what, where and why, talking to herself out loud, as usual. But how to deal with acquiring superpowers in her late 70s? Isn't the Chosen One supposed to be a teenager? Can one old woman save the planet? Her daughter Janey is worrie about her, but there's nothing new in that. Granddaughter Susie thinks Gran should be allowed to go out without her phone occasionally.

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 Persephone enjoy a nice flight and some privacy to discuss developments in Helen's campaign to get political change with regard to cleaning up the planet...

S8 Ep3 brings Helen some comfort from her friend Joey, but it comes with a challenge to up her game. Meantime the dastardly Minister for the Environment and Food Production (played by the wonderful Mr Matthew Field)  is definitely up to something. His new secretary (the gorgeous Ms Frankii Phoenix) is quick to spot it.

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", and Helen is called to a meeting in the park with Demeter and Seffi. Lots going on as the adventure continues.....

Helen's granddaughter Susie is impatient for some action on cleaning up the planet, but Helen is still reluctant to use her 'super' powers.  Meanwhile, the Trickster Gods of the world are holding a gathering, which could be a bit dodgy. With Roy Carruthers as Loki, Tayo Aluko as Anansi and Christopher McDougall  as Hermes. Also featuring a cameo appearance from Chloe the cat...

Ep 6 finds René's acting career taking off, while Artemis and Persephone persuade Helen that her super hero journey is in need of a lift, and they are just the beings to give it to her. Christopher McDougall plays René, Matthew Field plays Tom Maximan. I do the others.

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 Talking Garbage to 'do a deal'.  Now the tricky business really kicks off.

With Christopher McDougall as Hermes, Roy J Carruthers as Loki, Tayo Aluko as Anansi and Matthew Field as silly Jonas.

Episode 8 brings Season 8 to a conclusion with the Epilogue. Zeus reads the riot act to his disobedient children Artemis and Hermes, and his granddaughter Persephone. Helen gets good news on the political front from Serena (Jonas Scillily's secretary) and Rene's acting career is launched...

Helen gets a lesson in Scots Gaelic over a cup of tea and a piece of Ilse's wonderful chocolate at the Cheese Shop Cafe.  

This bonus episode features my sister-in-law, Mabel Macarthur as the Gaelic lady, and was recorded on her dining table on the Isle of Tiree, in the Inner Hebrides during my recent mini break.
