Magical Thinking

This episode, a long telephone conversation with her daughter Janey, contains references to - wait for it - magical thinking, accent modification and linguistics, dementia, neurodiversity, categories and the cosmos. You have been warned! This episode was written, performed and produced by me, Flloyd Kennedy, with music by John T LaBarbera from his album "In the Labyrinth", available on Bandcamp. Thanks to the Fable and Folly network for their support, I hope you can take advantage of their sponsors, it all helps to keep the engine that keeps us going. You can also support me, help cover production costs and to compensate the wonderful voice actors who offer their talents from time to time. There are links on the website amIoldyet.com/donate. I've also put up a short (10 questions) survey, so that you can let me know what direction you'd like Helen to take as we go forward. Did I mention we've passed the 75,000 downloads figure? The survey is at amIoldyet.com/survey. Too easy! Thank…

Where's Helen, and Who Wants to Know?

Helen has been missing in action, as far as her family is concerned, and they are concerned, so they decide to hunt her down in her lair, so to speak. This week's episode features guest artists John Warner as Jonathan, Christopher McDougal as Charlie and Erica Sanderson as Susie, with Flloyd Kennedy as Janey and Helen. Just a wee reminder: we are totally unfunded by external sources, (those ads don't even touch the surface), so I'm only I'm paying these actors a pittance, believe you me. So if you'd like to help support them, why not drop a fiver or just $1, even in buymeacoffee.com/amIoldyet, or you could become a patron over at Patreon.com/amIoldyet and we will all be hugely, hugely grateful.

Something to Say

Helen needs to start going out again, picking up the threads of her life, so she has signed up to one of her granddaughter Susie's writing workshops. This results in a bit of soul searching, a smidgeon of philosophising, and a dash of ponderings on the writing process. The cast is Erika Sanderson as Susie Andrea Richardson as Angela Ted Gray as the janitor Flloyd Kennedy as Helen. The music is by John T La Barbera, from his album "In the Labyrinth as well as Helen's themes f...
