EPISODE 300 IS FINALLY HERE...

...ALTHOUGH IT'S ACTUALLY EPISODE 301!

Hello beasties!

This *is* actually true - episode 300 is (indeed) the 301st episode of the show - some of you may recall that we started off with a pilot episode way back in May 2016 and then worked up from there...

Anyway! Talking of podcasts, here are our most recent trio of shows!

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 298:

SHY YETI'S VERY MANY VOICES SPECTACULAR!

Here we are for episode 298! This time we take a breath before wedding events take over for a trio of shows. This episode we are catching up with people - Wifey Jo, Harry, Tim on the radio, Old Friend Paul - not to mention one or two others; we also dip into the Yeti Archives to take a peek at what remains of a lost episode that was never fully completed back in 2018! Our next episode, #299 sees us making preparations for the wedding of the year - only Ikk discovers something slightly sinister... 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. All content of this episode is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2019. Episode 298 was recorded between 21st October and 29th November 2019, with an extract of a lost episode of the show recorded between the 2nd February and the 7th March 2018 and also Sutton Park clips from late-October 1994.

As you will hear when you listen to this episode Yeti Uncle John and I went on Tim M's Radio Wey show again on Saturday 23rd November 2019 - not only did I get to plug the newest (released that day!) episode of Round The Archives - and wish Dr Who a happy 56th birthday, but I got to record 7 poems and choose some obscure ABBA album tracks (Hey! Hey! Helen!, King Kong Song and The Piper) not to mention my favourite "lost" Buck's Fizz top 10 hit, (When We Were Young). Yeti Uncle John and I also helped Tim out with the first round of his quiz and then completely took over and collaborated on a 90s music quiz later in the evening!

Throughout the evening I also chose 10 poems from my old SHY YETI RULES OK compilation and numbered them 1 to 10 and then asked Tim to select the numbers. In the end these were the poems that I ended up reading and in the order that I read them - the number that follows each poem is the number that it was given which Tim selected.

Read 1st.  MY DOG IN A DRESS (#4)
Read 2nd. READY-TEDDY-GO! (#7)
Read 3rd. THE NEIGHBOURHOOD WITCH (#5)
Read 4th.  PICCADILLY CIRCUS (#6)
Read 5th.  THE GREAT BOOKSHOP IN THE SKY (#2)
Read 6th.  DISCO YETI (#1)
Read 7th.  LITTLE PIG (#3)

The following poems were numbered but not selected:

THINGS AIN'T WHAT THEY USED TO BE - PART 1 (#8)
THE TRUE LIGHT (#9)
YETI SPAGHETTI (#10)

I found it a fun way to bring some unpredictability into reading the poems - I'd definitely do it again!

Next up - the wedding of the year is almost upon us - but there are still preparations to be made!

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 299:

GETTING READY FOR "THE BIG DAY!"

Here we are for episode 299! Paul and the team prepare for the "wedding of the year"! Paul catches up with the regulars as the date of the big wedding draws closer - all seems quite normal until Ikk uncovers a sinister hidden message... We also catch up with Nick... In a phone-box... As you do. Our next episode, #300 sees us - surprisingly enough - celebrating the 300th episode of the show with the wedding of Bettina Du Pres and Dameus Twinklehorn - we've very excited about this and we're sure you are too! Don't you dare miss it, will 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 and Soundbible. All content of this episode is Copyright Paul Chandler. This episode was recorded between the 11th September and 30th November 2019, with an additional insert from "Aunt Tappie's Coffee Morning" recorded on the 4th August 2019 and Sutton Park clips from episodes 54 and 55 recorded during Easter 1993.

### A Whole Lot Of Smellcast Goings On!

There is bad feeling in Shy Life Podcast-land when the "will of the people" threatens to cause trouble for the show!

### 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

### 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... 

### 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!?
