Hello beasties!

This week I'll be telling you a little about my new compilation, SHY YETI'S GRRR-REATEST HITS (1992-2017) - a collection of my favourite poems and short prose pieces that I've written over the past 25 years... I also have more podcasts to share with you - so let's get into those first...

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 181: A SURPRISE LIVE PRIDE48 SHOW - 08.07.18

We have guests - my niece, Alena - over from the States and also top fashionista, Anastaaaaasia Anastasia who Yeti Uncle John attempts to interview and Cromitty regresses back to a past life. Pretty normal stuff - but do please take a listen anyway!

We hear from the regulars - there are also poems and a 1995 Sutton Park clip. Our next episode, number 183 sees us heading back onto the airwaves for July's OFFICIAL live edition - where Paul will be baby-sitting the peepers. Do join us, won't you?!

We had a second live episode for July - this one our official third Sunday of the month edition - we had friends in the chat-room and all of us were given the responsibility of baby-sitting Ikk's pet peepers!

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 183: LIVE PRIDE48 SHOW - "OFFICIAL" JULY 2018 EDITION

Here we are for episode 183 - in which we head out into Pride48 LIVE for our official July edition (aside from our surprise live edition from last weekend!) This time Paul has been asked to mind the peepers whilst Ikk is away for the weekend - but, as one might imagine, things do not necessarily go so smoothly. Will Cromitty and Yeti Uncle John be able to help juggle this responsibility with manning the chat-room. All this and there are after-show extras. Our next episode, number 184 sees Ikk working towards opening a dating agency - can some friends of the show give him some advice? Do join us, won't you?!
