SHY LIFE PODCAST SHOWS...
COMING SOON!!
June is almost gone and here we are on the brink of July 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...
THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 343:
DO YETI WEAR PYJAMAS? (10TH ANNIV. SPECIAL)
Here we are for episode 343! In a change to the scheduled episode - this time we bring you one of our poetry specials - this time celebrating 10 years of Mr Yeti's collection of verse and prose - DO YETI WEAR PYJAMAS? He shares some of his favourite pieces - reveals some of the stories behind the book and also invites the regulars to read! Our next episode, #344 sees us catching up with Jay The Hauntcub to discuss spooky things and to do a little quizzing! 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.

How can Paul and the gang help out? We also have a special guest in the form of Nick Goodman who has been Zoom-lured into taking part in one of our quizzes! Thanks to Nick for his time and also to Andrew and Lisa from Round The Archives for putting us back in touch with Gordon and his friend, Dolly.

As mentioned above - our next episode is made up with news and gossip from earlier in the year!
THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 346:
BELATED SCRAPS OF YETI GOSSIP!
Here we are for episode 346! This time Mr Yeti digs through a number of recordings that he made at the start of the year - before lock-down, when he was beginning to explore more into Control Incorporated whose Management agency he had recently left. We have chats on buses, down in storerooms, in the middle of busy pubs and on railways station platforms with all manner of special guests - from Flat-mate Calum to Rob The Robot and most surprisingly of all - with a slightly distracted Niece Alena via Skype. What secrets will emerge about the mysterious Control Inc? How are Tappie and Bettina involved and what troubles will Long-lost Cousin Algernon bring in his wake. Our next episode, #347 will be another of our music episodes as Nick and I look at the big hits of 1976 on both sides of the pond! 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. The music is by Shy Yeti and Luca. Sound effects by Shy Yeti and Soundbible. All content of this episode is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2020. This episode contains clips from episodes #503 and #519 of The Smellcast - many thanks to Toppie Smellie for allowing me to use these.

We spoke to Alena via Skype on 12th January 2020. Calum's chat was recorded in Fulham Broadway, London on 16th January 2020. Rob The Robot's message was processed on the 16th June 2020.

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 347:
SHY YETI AND THE DANCING QUEEN!
Here we are for episode 347! This time we're taking a good look at some of the big pop hits of 1976 on both sides of the pond; Nick is back and the regulars share memories and their versions of a number of the tunes! This episode was recorded near Salisbury before lock-down and all cat activities that would usually be provided by Deeley were - instead - performed by one of my parent's cats - probably Megan. In addition to our music chat Cuthbert The Robot is also proud to announce a special Zoom-quiz with flat-mate, Calum - how many questions can the boys get right this time!? Our next episode, #348 sees us heading LIVE online for our Zoom Call for June 2020! Which guests are going to show up this time around? Do join us, won't you?!

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 348:
SHY YETI GOES ZOOM!! - JUNE 2020
Here we are for episode 348! This time we are joined by a whole host of special guests via Zoom! Despite a slight echo at one point and having to switch calls half way through we soldier through with podcast chat, trivia, a bit of a wiki-wander through the career of a recently departed acting favourite. We also have a few clips from previous episodes - an extra quiz with Calum and if that wasn't enough, Cuthbert joins us to deliver all the linking bits! Thank you to Martin, Andrew, Lisa, Toppie, Nick, Calum and Cuthbert for their help with putting this edition together. Our next episode, #349 sees Paul and his brother, Graham having a chat - whilst we also hear some more of Paul's conversation with his niece, Alena. Do join us, won't you?!

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 349:
OH, BROTHER!! (OH, NIECE!!)
Here we are for episode 349! This time Mr Yeti catches up with his younger brother, Graham; we talk podcasts, music, TV and films - not to mention a few thoughts about growing up together - we also have more of the chat that we started a couple of shows back with Alena - Graham's daughter, (and Paul's niece!), from over in the States. This edition was recorded on Skype before lock-down and at points there is some minimal background noise - but this shouldn't spoil your enjoyment. Thank you to everyone who took part! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GRAHAM ON JUNE 30TH!! Our next episode, #350 is - as yet - undecided - it may be a special show from the Pride48 LIVE Streaming weekend or... well, it might be something completely different - we have plenty in the archives awaiting editing!

Before we finish - here are some recent photos taken around the flat during my current lock-down...
Before we go I should probably announce that we have started to put a few older episodes of THE SHY LIFE PODCAST onto Youtube. We've not started at the beginning as there are so many and ultimately we don't know how many people want to view an audio podcast from this location - so we have chosen favourite episodes, shows that took a lot of putting together or ones that fit together into a story arc.
Episodes available, so far are:
GORDON THE CRYPTKEEPER... IN NEED! (#345 - JUNE 2020)
SHY YETI AND THE VERY ROMANTIC PROPOSAL (#230 - FEB 2019)
A HEN NIGHT AND A STAG-DO (#290 - OCTOBER 2019)
GETTING READY FOR THE BIG DAY! (#299 - DECEMBER 2019)
SHY YETI AND THE WEDDING OF THE YEAR! (#300 - DECEMBER 2019)
THE ONE AFTER THE WEDDING (#301 - DECEMBER 2019)
Next time on the blog we'll have more news on newly released podcast episodes - and probably some photos!
That's all for now! Take care - more soon, yeti hugs,
Paul (aka Shy Yeti) xx
