A modern twist on the classic radio play format, The OPC is equal parts comedy and heart.
The OPC - short for The Old People's Channel - an original scripted podcast series focusing on ageism, created and written by Richard Curtis, has released its first two episodes, each under 15 minutes, now available on all streaming platforms.
Listen below!
In Episode One, "What Is Grandpa Up To?" the family of patriarch Bernard Bentlee discovers that he is working on a mysterious project which seems to include a visit to a call girl. His daughter Annette and her ex-husband Leonard, a psychiatrist, find a notepad on Bernard Bentlee's desk with a coded list. It is labeled "The OPC". They try to break into his computer but just as they were about to discover the password, Bentlee returns home.
Season One of The OPC introduces Bernard Bentlee, a wealthy octogenarian who has invested his fortune, and his family's inheritance, in a risky new media venture. Is he living a pipe dream and destroying his family's future, as his daughter Annette accuses? Or is he a genius whose vision bridges the generation gap, fully supported by his Gen Z granddaughters?
