written and performed by Flloyd (with 2 Ells) Kennedy. Inspired by a poetry challenge set by the Dead Good Poets Society of Liverpool in January 2022 to write a limerick with the first line "In the year of 2022". By April 2022 I'd written 3 more verses and a chorus, to be premiered by Fairy Bessie at Filla Crack's Pre-Easter Drag Cabaret at the Everyman Theatre Bistro Bar. She intends to sing it until 31st December 2022, in the hope that it might—eventually—become not just irreverant, but also irrelevant...

Episode 1 of Season 4 kicks off with Helen calling up her daughter Janey for help.  This doesn't happen often, so it must be something very serious.  She is about to celebrate her 78th birthday, so it's possible she's also about to get the answer to the question, i.e. is she old yet?

Episode 12, bring Season 3 to a close.  Susie has been delegated to try to find out why Helen, her grandmother, is so unhappy.  It's obvious Helen doesn't want her memoir to be published, but no one can understand why, and her family are very worried about her. It seems an over-anxious daughter is nothing compared to an over-anxious mother. This is the final episode of Season 3.  I'm going to take a break, hopefully come up with something bright and shiny new for Season 4.  In the meantime, if you can possibly afford to make a small donation via https://buymeacoffee.com/amIoldye (https://buymeacoffee.com/amIoldyet) t, it would help to help the ongoing life of the podcast.  Thanks so much for listening.

Episode 11, Season 3.  Helen is in her late 70s, but no-one who knows her would say she's afraid of a challenge.  However...  Something is deeply troubling her about the possible publication of her memoir, and Joey—her oldest friend and also her publisher—is worried about her mental state.  She calls on Helen's daughter Janey to see if they can figure out a way to help and support Helen to make the best decision for herself.

Episode 10 of Season 3, of the podcast audio comedy/drama "Am I Old Yet?". Written and performed by Flloyd Kennedy. This is the episode in which Helen's 85 year old sister calls up from Australia, sounding much better than she has in over a year. Her dementia seems to have stopped progressing. Harry next door, on the other hand, needs his wife to stop him from attempting dangerous feats. And Janey, Helen's daughter, is worried about her mum.

Episode 10. Helen's elder sister, Marian, has dementia, but she still manages to phone up from Rockhampton in Australia for a chat. Helen has a problem with the memoir she was commissioned to write, but which she really doesn't want to have published, although she can't explain why. And Harry next door struggles to accept that he's too frail to climb ladders any more.  Ah me, as the poet George Melling says "Don't get old. It puts years on you!"

Episode 8: Helen and Sadie are in their late 70s.  Is it too late for the next thing in their lives to be a Big Thing?  Sadie's memoir has been published, and Helen calls up to congratulate her. Sadie is making a big effort to return to life on the outside, 'post pandemic' (if there is such a thing). And it seems the possibilities are endless.  Helen is not sure she's up for it.
