IT'S BUSINESS AS USUAL BACK IN YETI-LAND...
Hello beasties!
This time on the blog we're having a wonderful time celebrating the Easter holiday...
Well, in actual fact we're not going to mention Easter again at all this post - not once; sorry... PS This may not be true; but we're just not a very Easter-celebrating blog. Have a nice time if you are, though.
First up, here are some of the podcasts that we've just released!
THE GHOST OF GLADSTONE VILLA
Here we are for episode 243! This time we discuss a first-hand case of ghostly experience that Paul recently received from his old friend Andrew Dexter - the story is shared and the regulars chip in with their opinions... It's a scary little show! There are also poems, clips and comments from the regulars - and even a brief cameo from a very special returning guest! But who is it!? Our next episode, #244 sees Paul and Nick discussing the big pop hits of 1980. 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 Soundbible and Shy Yeti. All content is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2019 - except for "The Ghost Of Gladstone Villa" account which is copyright, Andrew Dexter, 2019. Episode 243 was recorded between the 26th March and the 9th April 2019, with clips from October 1994 Sutton Park episodes 643-646...

SHY'S YETI SUPER TROUPERS OF 1980!!

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 late 1980s who are still around making new music in 2019! We also ask Wifey Jo and Calum what their favourite singles by these bands are! Our next episode, #245 sees Cuthbert discovering an app related to fellow podcast, The Smellcast; which all seems very exciting until it has a very odd affect on him. Do join us, won't you?!

Next up - this is an episode that I recorded quite recently - one weekend when Toppie and I were meant to be recording - but both of us over-slept and missed our recording time... (What are we like!? At least we both messed up... It's okay! We'll reschedule soon!) Anyway - through the wonder of podcasting magic Toppie does play quite a large part in this next episode...

SHY LIFE PODCAST SHOWS...
COMING SOON!!
We're well into April - with our 3rd anniversary looming and lots of new episodes in the pipe-line! 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!
247. 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!?
248. Out On The Town On A Work Night!
Paul takes the listeners out for a night on the town with an old friend of the show - but what kind of madness will they get up to!?
249. Shy Yeti's New Assistant!
Paul feels abandoned by the regulars - but Cuthbert has a brainwave to get him some help to manage his work-load. What he doesn't expect is that this help may come in the form of a robot called Rob.
250. Stories Of Deadiegrams
The regulars share their memories of times when they have encountered Deadiegrams in odd situations.
251. The Return Of Dameus The Interviewer
Dameus interviews all manner of podcasting celebrities as part of his return to the chat-show circuit.
252. LIVE Pride48 Show - May 2019
Mr Yeti celebrates 3 years of the show in our live Pride48 show for May 2019! There will also be some readings from Paul's new book, PIECES OF SHY YETI.
253. Shaken Not Stirred!
Paul catches up with Nick and Andy to discuss the big hits in film of 1987 - they also discuss James Bond as 1987 was the year that the franchise got a new face!
254. If Poems Were Pies - 10th Anniversary
The first of three 10 year poetry anniversaries for Mr Yeti during 2019.
255. Shy Yeti Is Making His Mind Up!
Paul and Nick discuss the big hits of 1981 in both the UK and the US!
256. 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!
257. 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.
### 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 Shy Yeti and Toppie Smellie Comedy Hour... And A Bit...
Mr Yeti and Toppie Smellie team up to entertain the listeners with their very own brand of mad-cap comedy! What more could one ask for!?

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!?!
### 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. Unfortunately his upgrade also unearths the control of a certain app that was once installed on him!
### 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.

### Shy Yeti And The Ridiculous Sponsor!
Paul and Toppie Smellie do a show together - but thanks to interference from Paul's new manager they have to keep stopping to do live adverts for the ridiculous sponsors they've been set up with!
### 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!!
### Shy Yeti And The Shame Inspectors
Shy Yeti gets more than he expects when he receives a visit from Isaac and Declan from That's A Shame podcast - they are constantly on the lookout for Shame sources - but this time they have Paul in their sights!
### 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.

### Shy Yeti's Three Birthday Treats!
Paul reflects on three treats that he had for his recent birthday - involving activities with Nick concerning Paul's manager, the usual silliness with Toppie and a trip away with Jay and Ikk; all these treats are quite unusual to say the very least...
### Shy Yeti's Birthday Diary 2019
Paul shares his birthday diary with the listeners as he and Toby head off into the wilds of the UK for his birthday! Things are getting out of hand with his manager and Paul has some very shocking news! Can Mr Trowbridge be of any help?
