Special Feature - Still Not Dead - Rachel McAlpine & The Andrew London Duo Still Not Dead is a new show from Rachel McAlpine and Andrew London playing on Sunday, 14th December at the Kapiti Playhouse at 3:00pm. Hear from these two very funny and talented people talk about the upcoming show. And go book a seat. After recovering from a shocking epiphany (OMG I'm getting old!), popular poet Rachel McAlpine started unpicking the mysteries of old age. Results: a best-seller book of poems, How To Be Old. A sell-out play, The Secret Lives of Extremely Old People. A podcast, Learning How To Be Old. And it seems at 85 she's still not done and still not dead. She reads selections. On the cusp of receiving the mythical Gold Card, satirical songwriter/guitarist Andrew London and partner Kirsten assemble a selection of age-related songs from both original and borrowed repertoires, to compliment Ms McAlpine's meanderings. 'When I'm 64' is almost too obvious to include but... This show captures the varied and interesting events and people that we come across at Coast Access Radio. Play Episode
