VALENTINE, OH MINE VALENTINE!!

WE HEART YOU, READERS...

Hello beasties!

This time we're celebrating Valentine's Day! Yes! Yes! We know we're a day or two or three or four or... well, we may be about a week late - alright, over a week - but our Valentine's SHY LIFE PODCAST episode was on time (just about!) and and that's the main thing... Anyway, I was sick last week - so that didn't help... Anyway, here it is - the Valentine's one!! (and a couple of other episodes to boot!)

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 145: A HEART-SHAPED PIE... (2018 VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIAL)

Here we are for episode 145 and it's time to (slightly belatedly!) celebrate Valentine's Day and it's time for a very important date... On the eve of a big Valentine's date we hear from Bettina who shares a couple of anecdotes about how she and Dameus grew closer! There are also poems and a number of messages from our regulars, not to mention a clip from episode 1800 of SUTTON PARK from 1997. Our next episode, number 146 is all about a year in pop music - yes, Nick and I will be discussing 1986!! Do join us, won't you?! Please email me at shyyeti@yahoo.co.uk if you have any comments - you can even send me a sound-file and I'll include it on the show. The music is by Shy Yeti and Luca. All content of this episode is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2018.  Episode 145 was recorded between 28th December 2017 and the 13th February 2018. This episode was adapted from an unproduced episode which I had intended to record during 2017 provisionally entitled "Driving Miss Bettina".

Here we are for episode 147 and this month Paul himself is full of cold for the live show - but never fear, he has edited out all the coughing and snuffling bits to save you having to listen to that! Thankfully he also has some pre-recorded scenes to share where Ikk explores his ability to mind-read Paul, John and Cromitty. He truly is a talented little alien!! Bettina and Dameus phone in a message and there is extra material from an episode of 1998 Sutton Park and a chat with Nick G.

At the end of my previous post I promised you some news about the next book that I'm publishing - I'm expecting to finish 3 or 4 (possibly more) this year which I've been working on at the same time as one another for the last couple of years. Anyway, the one that looks like being the first to the finishing line is the third season of HOT STUFF!! So - you may be asking - what's this one about? Well... I promise that I'll tell you a lot more in a week or two - just know that it's on it's way!!

Next time there will be more on the podcasts and maybe a new prose piece too... That's all for now...

Take care - more soon,

Yeti hugs,

Paul (aka Shy Yeti) xx

SHY LIFE PODCAST SHOWS - COMING SOON!!


148. Nessie 1
149. Nessie 2
150. Nessie 3

This trilogy has been waiting in the archives for some time... The numbers aren't fixed - but I intend to start editing it as soon as I've released the Live February episode - as that gives me plenty of time to work on them as a three part story, although each episode is separate and self-contained; they just all three are connected by a common theme.

151. Return Of The Brompton Time Machine

This one has also brewing for quite some time - in fact I started work on it when we lasted visited Brompton Cemetery in early January 2017... I recorded scenes for this one with a number of guests throughout 2017 - and now is finally time to release it!

152. Bettina and the robot butler

This episode sees Paul visiting Bettina only to find out that the house has recently become robotically automated; also Wifey Jo play a card game with Cuthbert.

153. Travel Episode

Paul and the regulars discuss plans for travel and also favourite places that they have visited over the years.

153. Peeper-napped

In which Paul receives a letter from a long-lost relative called Algernon and Ikk has his peepers stolen by Nathan/Zap. All this and Dameus worries about his voice which is beginning to change back to its more quavering form; is this going to effect both his career AND his love-life?

154. Live March 2018

Once again - this episode is fixed to a specific date - so it might end up changing number. I'm not sure what theme, subject or story will be involved for this one yet.

Additionally:

### Radios and Reminiscences

Whilst Paul heads back onto local radio - Cromitty has picked out some more SUTTON PARK clips.

### A Poetry Anniversary

Last week I also recorded most of an episode that mentions the 2nd anniversary - but also celebrates 10 years of SHY YETI'S INCREDIBLE PIE-CRUST COLLECTION (2008).

### The Great Bingo Scam

Someone is rigging the bingo so that they win - is it one of the regulars or someone more sinister?

### What We Don't Like

Paul and Nick discuss a number of things that they think are over-rated...

### When Harry Met Yeti

Harry and Paul catch up and discuss a number of different topics...

### The April Fool Episode 2018

Paul turns to his friend Brocante The Antiques Dealer in this episode - but is what he suggests a big April Fool's joke or in fact his latest plan for the future of THE SHY LIFE PODCAST??
