CHRISTMAS IS COMING...

IT'S NEARLY HERE - BUT NOT QUITE...

Hello beasties!

This week we're getting closer to Christmas - we have plenty of new episodes of the podcast to share with you...

Here are the most recent ones!

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 210: 

SHY YETI'S BIG DINNER DATE!

Here we are for episode 210! Paul catches up with his friend OtherPaul for an early birthday meal at a favourite restaurant, Yeti Uncle John is paranoid that Paul is wining and dining some top podcasting executive and may be planning to get rid of the all... The truth is far more innocent - but the damage is already done! Thanks to P.H. for travelling so far to meet up for a nice early birthday meal with me. Our next episode, number 211 sees us chatting with Freakquincy - the host of the excellent podcast, The Gay Wasteland, available on all of your favourite podcasting hosts. 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. All content of this episode is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2018. Episode 210 was recorded between the 3rd and the 5th November 2018.

Next time it'll be our actual Christmas post - with a special Mouse of Commons-related Christmas script... We'll also have more episodes of the podcast - some of them might even be Christmassy, but there are plenty of others to balance that out; it just depends how much time I get to edit between now and the end of the month!

That's all for now...

Take care - more soon,

Yeti hugs,

Paul (aka Shy Yeti) xx

I'm the one with SY (for Shy Yeti!) on my cap. The cartoon is drawn by M.A.W. Holmes - another contributor of the show.
