Am I Old Yet? — Comedy audio drama Podcast artwork

A coming-of-age, audio fiction comedy with a difference. Our ageing heroine shares senior moments, family relationships and adventures with some ancient Greek Deities —entertaining and a wee bit provocative. Written, performed and produced by Aussie-born, Liverpool-based actress, singer-songwriter and performance poet Flloyd Kennedy (Airmedia AMPLIFY New Voices fellow) with guest performers on 3 continents including Sarah Golding, Ira Seidenstein, Wendy Lap, Roy R Carruthers, Christopher McDougall. Coming soon - "Baked Off!" a brand new fiction podcast with sourdough bread by Flloyd Kennedy - it's all about the rise.

★★★★★ "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.
