Season 6 kicks off with a brand new look, new musical theme, and an amazing adventure for Helen and the crew. This is a screwball comedy serial, in which there are super powers and superior beings handing them out, possibly for the good of the planet. It all remains to be seen. Support the show @AmIOldYet2 The music featured in Seasons 6 and 7 is from "In The Labyrinth" by John T LaBarbera, available on Bandcamp.

Once again, I apologise for the delay in getting this up.  Fact is, I'm both excited and overwhelmed to be working on a new, spin-off series involving Helen and her friends in a totally, seriously silly adventure. It's proving to be extremely labour and time intensive, so I'm closing down Season 5 to get on with it.  I hope to have the new series ready for you in a few weeks. Thanks for listening - stay safe!Support the show @AmIOldYet2 The music featured in Seasons 6 and 7 is from "In The Labyrinth" by John T LaBarbera, available on Bandcamp.
