THEY COULDN'T KEEP ME AND ITALY APART!!

SHY YETI IS BACK IN VENICE!!

Hello beasties!

I'm back from my holidays this post and am ready to share some adventures - not to mention a number of the photos that I took whilst I was away; although  will save a few for when the new Venice episodes are released. (Please note: I am probably over-egging the pudding a bit by using the word "adventure", although I did have a couple of really exciting ice-creams...)

First up though, here are some of the episodes that I have released recently which I've not yet told you about!

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 236:

OUT OF THE ARCHIVES AND INTO THE WOODS!

Here we are for episode 236! Paul approaches Cuthbert for an extra-special clip from the archives that he can present to the listeners... Our next episode, #237 sees us embarking on our LIVE Pride48 show for March - we're just back from holiday so hopefully there will be lots to say! 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, Harry F and Luca. Sound effects by Paul Chandler. All content of this episode is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2019. Episode 236 was recorded on the 3rd March 2019, with a long-lost audio from Summer 1990 starring Mr Yeti and his brother, the long-suffering Graham; who was only eight at the time. Mr Yeti and the team are on vacation next week but we return with our live Pride48 live show on Sunday 17th March 2019.

Extra material includes chats with American Carey, Toppie Smellie from LOTSL, The Smellcast and Matinee Minutiae and Trowby and Lisa from Round The Archives. Our next episode, #238 sees us catching up with a number of familiar voices before diving into some random questions and discussing a film that we made back in 1994...

Anyway - as I mentioned briefly at the start we're not long back from yet another trip to Venice (well, it was my 7th visit, but Toby's first...) I was last there for my birthday in November 2016 (and we recorded a couple of episodes back then) and last in Italy in November 2017 when the show headed for Verona and Lake Garda... (Although there's a quite COMPLICATED story about what happened there!)

Before we conclude - here are a few more of my Venice photos - there will be more next month when I get around to posting the episodes that I recorded over there last week...


Next time I'll be telling you about my new book - due out very soon...

Ciao for now!

Take care - more soon,

Yeti hugs,

Paul (aka Shy Yeti) xx

P.S. I hope you like our new logo for the podcast - including Mr Yeti from a number of different eras over the last 10 or so years; the larger of the photos having been taken during the recent Venice trip.


SHY LIFE PODCAST SHOWS

COMING SOON!!

Here we are - it's almost April! Our schedule list does tend to change every time I post, but right about now this is a pretty good guide to the episodes that we are hoping to release over the next few months; not to forget our monthly LIVE episode! Anyway - take a look at what else we have in store...

Anyway, here is our current schedule!

239. Mum's The Word (In Memory Of Pam Goodman)

Nick shares with us a chat that he recorded with his mum just before her death in August 2018. To be released around Sunday 31st March - probably soon after my return from Venice. My chat with Nick was recorded in late 2018.

240. Cromitty and The Crystal Ball! (April Fool's 2019)

Cromitty offers Paul the chance to look into the future to see what might lie in store 10 years ahead!

241. Shy Yeti's 2019 Venice Diary!

A diary episode recorded during Paul's recent trip to Venice.

242. The Day Shy Yeti Lost His Voice

Paul has been asked to sing his friend Harry's song as a big concert - it's scary enough that it's going to be live, but now he's lost his voice! Can Ikk and the gang help him get through it and will anyone notice if they pull a few lip-syncing tricks!?

243. Stop! 1980... Beams Are Going To Find You!

Paul and Nick discuss the big hits of 1980 and also jump a few years forward to compare two of the biggest bands of the mid to late 1980s who are still around making new music in 2019!

244. Charlie Grrr and The Pie With The Pastry Plumage!

If all goes to plan with a trip to Venice in May then I plan to a record a pie-related giallo spoof with Charlie Grrr and some of the other regulars! I can promise that it'll be super silly.

245. The Will Of The People

There is bad feeling in Shy Life Podcast-land when a light-hearted popularity contest to celebrate 3 years of the show goes badly wrong and the results are declared as "the will of the people"! Is this true or have the results been rigged!?! Ikk also recalls when time travel was almost used to fix the results of the Big Fatty Online Number 1 Fan contest!

246. Tales Of Deadiegrams

The regulars share their memories of times when they have encountered Deadiegrams in odd situations.

247. If Poems Were Pies - 10th Anniversary

The first of three 10 year poetry anniversaries for Mr Yeti during 2019.

### Additionally:

There will - most probably - be live shows every month; but we also have plenty of other episodes either in planning or partially recorded. 

### The Dragon And The Cacti!

Paul and Yeti Uncle John check in on Dragon Albert to see how he is getting on with Bert and Gert; John presumes that it will be a bit of a rescue mission - but they are both shocked by all that they find!!

### The Truth About The Murder Mystery Weekend!

It has taken a while but now we finally seem to have some answers about what ACTUALLY happened at the Murder Mystery Weekend back in October 2018 and the answers are REALLY going to shock you!

### The New Caretaker / "Where's Me Booook!?"

What with Yeti Uncle John often being up in space - Bettina gives Paul the details of a caretaker who used to work on her Estate... It seems like a good idea until it becomes evident that this gentleman swings from being extremely lazy to shovelling every last thing into a bin bag... What ever will happen when he reaches the basement and finds all the tat in Cromitty's laboratory; what will happen to all those priceless Sutton Park tapes? For that matter will Cuthbert make it through the night!?!

### The Return Of Dameus The Interviewer

Dameus interviews all manner of podcasting celebrities as part of his return to the chat-show circuit.

### 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.

### Whatever Happened To Dusty The Scone-Eating Dandelion!?

Paul and the team receive a tip-off about an elusive acquaintance of theirs - Dusty The Scone-Eating Dandelion who went missing under mysterious circumstances some time ago... Will they be able to find him with the help of Martin and his detective pals!?

### 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.

### The Great Bingo Scam

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

### The Continuing Mystery Of Long Lost Cousin Algernon

A number of episodes that involve Martin's investigation into Long Lost Cousin Algernon. What will he find?

### Brocante Saves The Day?

Bettina needs to sell some of her treasures and Brocante The Antique Dealer is called in - but can he save the day?

### Gordon The Crypt-keeper In Need!

Gordon is back - but he has recently lost his job! Mr Yeti does his best to try and help him out...

### More About The Alien Book

We learn a little more about The Alien Book which made Ikk so unwell at the start of the year - but, of course - things are never simple.

### Caveman Logic and The Shy Life - 10th Anniversary shows

The second and third of three 10 year poetry anniversaries for Mr Yeti during 2019.

### Bits And Bobs and Bobs And Bits - Mk 2

More clips from the archives and recent conversations that don't have a home!!

### A Bad Case Of The Pickle Hollows

Cuthbert accidentally downloads a free Pickle Hollow app whilst downloading old episodes of The Smellcast and although it starts off kinda cute it gets old very quickly when random voices from the show start to fill the air. How do they delete it? Can Toppie help?

### Behind The Scenes - Fiction Within Fiction!

Paul looks back at how he used to film Sutton Park behind the scenes on some of Nick's films - with clips from both Tide Of Freedom and Evil Trophy and the equally as dramatic Sutton Park episodes recorded during these productions.
