IT'S SUMMER! WE'RE ABOUT TO GO ALL KENT-ISH...
Hello beasties!
This time we're going to be looking at some of the recent episodes of THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - before turning to photos and chatter about my recent return to a top secret location in Kent; my hidey-hole for the emergency recording of podcasts and the like! Yes... More holidays! Hoorah! :)
Before we go on - I have some announcements...
Hidden Tiger has just published a book about Nick Goodman's series, Life After - which I contributed stories to back in the early 90s. Here are the details and also an interview with Nick about the series.

As mentioned, I've been away in Kent this week - so what did I get up to? I won't say too much as there will be a podcast all about my trip, but I will give you a brief overview...
I headed off to Folkestone on Saturday - spending the next few days editing and working on podcasts... I won't reveal who I recorded with yet as I have so many exciting episodes raring to be released and I don't know quite what order they'll be released. That said, I'll be releasing my Kent Diary episode in early September and you'll get to hear a few clips from some of these forthcoming chats. On the Monday I visited Canterbury for a spot of shopping and a cinema trip (Blinded By The Light) and on Tuesday and Wednesday I continued working on podcasts. Old School Friend Harry came to stay for the end of the holiday - there was another trip to Canterbury to see the new Tarantino film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and on Friday we worked on recording another his songs, before returning on Saturday.
I didn't take a lot of photos this time as I've visited the area so often - but I'll share the ones that I did take when it comes to releasing the Diary episode next month...
Next time we'll be sharing with you a script that we wrote for another podcast - scenes that features Bettina Du Pres (from THE SHY LIFE PODCAST) and Aunt Tappie (from THE SMELLCAST); featuring on another show... More on that next time!!!

COMING SOON!!
August is well under-way and we have 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!

276. Shy Yeti And The Pride48 Impression Contest!

We join Paul and Calum as they head back to Dunbar for a few days. Nessie is having problems and seeks help with the podcast gang, meanwhile Paul's management is keen that Paul should offer himself as Nessie's exclusive biographer; only Nessie really doesn't want to be interviewed as he has a very large secret!

302. Keeping Mum...
Nick and I share more interesting conversations with our mothers!
### 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 Return Of Dameus The Interviewer
Dameus interviews all manner of podcasting celebrities as part of his return to the chat-show circuit.
### The Truth About The Shy Life Podcast!
We look back at some of the scandal that has affected the little show over the years - the lives - the loves and maybe we'll even learn the truth about who pushed Zap down the stairs in episode 200!
### 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!
### 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 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?
### 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...
### 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?
### Episode One Billion
We look forward a year or two to see how things are going for The Shy Life Podcast as we hit episode One Billion. Things are a little more advanced - but all the gang are still on board!!
### The First Last Shy Life Podcast Episode
This is the last episode of The Shy Life Podcast episode... or is it?
(Recorded in July 2019 - but not scheduled for release, as yet)
### The Second Last Shy Life Podcast Episode
This is our Second attempt at a last episode of The Shy Life Podcast... Might it be real this time!?
