APPROACHING EASTER AND GOING BEYOND...
Hello beasties!
I'd like to tell you that I have lots of exciting plans for the Easter weekend - but at time of writing we're really not at all sure what we'll be up to. The weather is still quite erratic and the trains even more so. Our last couple of weekends have involved watching old films (The Seven Year Itch / Rear Window) - eating delicious food - chatting with Deeley and editing, of course. Still - the Easter weekend is longer - so we're really hoping that we can get out for, at least, a little while... We shall see! It would be nice to get out - take some photos and record for the podcast on location. I'm definitely going on Radio Wey again on Saturday evening (31st March) and then we're rapidly approaching my week away in Kent soon afterwards... I'm sure we'll get busy doing something - but I might not be sure about exactly what until the Easter weekend arrives! I am working on an Easter Hangover episode to be released next week - not to forget our April Fools' Day episode; which this year actually falls on Easter Sunday.
Talking of which - we need to speak about recent podcast episodes...
This episode I recorded at Nick G's house - although he does not appear himself. I was staying with Nick and Aly, but wasn't feeling up to the bingo night and so stayed home and recorded one of those episodes which is mostly done in one take. When editing I included some more SUTTON PARK clips which I'd recently uncovered from 1996 which covers a period when I was moving house and was about to start a new job. There is also a cameo from Ikk and a jelly monster at the end - but otherwise there is very little input from the regulars.

Here we are for episode 153 - which finds Paul house-sitting for his friend Nick, whilst not feeling especially well after dental work! He is also thinking about the old days of SUTTON PARK after re-watching episodes from Summer 1996 - a period when he was going through a lot change. He was starting a new job and moving to a new area of the country - something that continues to influence his life in 2018. Paul shares clips from these episodes, reads a verse or two and chats about his weekend - but is he really as alone as he first thought he was? Our next episode, number 154 sees Paul presenting his live Pride48 show for March 2018. 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. Sound effects by Paul Chandler.

Next up it's our live Pride48 show for March - we had a little hiccup during the broadcast as the clocks had changed in the US, but not in the UK and so the server thought that I'd exceeded my 90 minute time period for broadcasting, when in fact I'd only been on for half hour... Luckily I had quite an exclusive audience and was able to give them a link to a separate feed that I'd been given access too and they were able to hear the second half of the show via that; of course the podcast version doesn't have any of these problems and the errring and ummming whilst I sorted the problems have been edited down. I was quite pleased with the little messages that I had set aside for this edition - from Bettina (doing cooking!), Ikk (talking about the first time that he met an alien) and Yeti Uncle John (reporting big news!!) Extra material this time was more from episode 100 of SUTTON PARK from Summer 1993, including bits with Nick G and my old friend Andrew R; there will be more from this episode next month, I suspect.
THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 154: LIVE PRIDE48 SHOW - MARCH 2018...
Here we are for episode 154 - our live Pride48 show for March 2018 in which Ikk shares an anecdote of the time he first met an alien - Bettina shares a recipe and Yeti Uncle John has a surprising piece of news for everyone... In extra material Cromitty and Martin disagree as to which old SUTTON PARK clip should be shared! Our next episode, number 155 sees Paul and the regulars discussing travel... Do join us, won't you?!

Episode 154 was recorded on 18th March 2018, with extra material recorded on 13th March 2018 - with SUTTON PARK clips from the Summer of 1993. (Episode 100, again!)

Next up we have an episode all about our travels - I share some of my memories and ask the regulars about some of their adventures - looking to the past and also forward to their future plans...
THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 155: CHIT-CHATTING ON OUR TRAVELS...
Here we are for episode 155 - and this time we are off on our travels... Well, actually - NO - we're not - but we are here to talk about holidays; not just Mr Yeti, but also a number of the regulars. There are also poems and clips from a December 1998 episode of SUTTON PARK recorded in France. Our next episode, number 156 sees us adventuring forth to investigate the mysteries of the legendary Brompton Time Machine... Do join us, won't you?!

Next time we'll discussing more podcasts - looking forward to our trip to Kent and preparing ourselves to be interviewed once again by our friends from THE BEARGRRRIAN GAZETTE... It'll be Easter too - so hopefully we'll be getting out and about and will have some nice spring-time photos to share with you! I think there will also be a script relating to one of our forthcoming episodes which will have just been released by that stage!
That's all for now... Take care - more soon,

As we draw towards the end of March we have a number of fun episodes coming up before Easter...
156. Peeper-napping And Other First World Problems
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 settle back to its more quavering form; is this going to effect both his career AND his love-life?
157. Trading In Your Co-hosts (The Shy Yeti Way!!)
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??
158. Shy Yeti's Easter Hang-over
Paul reflects on how things got slightly out of hand over Easter - chocolate can be fattening, but when Ikk shares an alien equivalent to chocolate everything gets a little out of control ...
159. When Harry Met Yeti
Harry and Paul catch up and discuss a number of different topics...
160. Shy Yeti's Relaxing Week Away...
We catch up with Paul during a relaxing week away recording and editing podcasts - whilst putting his feet up he answers questions for a number of listeners and also shares a pre-recorded chat with Nick Goodman. It all sounds very nice, but the regulars are not happy that they are not involved in events...
161. 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 and then recorded scenes with a number of guests throughout 2017; finally I'm ready to release it!
162. 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.
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?
### Gordon The Crypt-keeper Returns
Mr Yeti feels bad about not involving Gordon The Cryptkeeper in the 2017 Christmas Special like he promised - but Gordon seems to be unaware of what month it is, so they begin work on a Christmas Show; it's all a bit awkward really!
### Yeti Uncle John's Leaving Party
Yeti Uncle John prepares for his new job in outer space - but some of the regulars are concerned by what lies in store for their old friend...
### Re-connecting With The Past
Paul catches up with Cromitty and Martin and is excited to learn that Cuthbert has a few added advances that makes it possible to re-connect with the past via old episodes of SUTTON PARK... Ikk is slightly doubtful about it all - but he and Paul soon get to experience the process first-hand.
Maybe John appears to have been eaten? But he hasn't been... Martin investigates... Ikk feels guilty.
Take care - more soon,
Yeti hugs,
Paul (aka Shy Yeti) xx
P.S. Some screenshots from some Summer 1996 episodes of SUTTON PARK...
