SPOOKY! CREEPY! SCARY! OOKIE!?!

 A LOOK BACK AT HALLOWEEN 2020!!!


Hello beasties!

This time we're going to be looking into some of our most recent episodes of The Shy Life Podcast...

What have we been up to? How was did our Halloween involve?! Well, sadly - very little - I didn't even get to see many "in-real-life" decorations this year; even though I was travelling into work three days a week. Still... I did get to do quite a bumper length special episode to celebrate this special time of year!

First up then - why wait - it's time for our extra special Halloween episode for 2020!! 

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 387:

EVERY DAY IS HALLOWEEN FOR YETI!
(2020 SPOOKY-CREEPY SPECIAL!)

Here we are for episode 387! This time it's Halloween again! This year we are joined by all manner of special guests - Toppie Smellie calls in from the States with a Vampire Cow report whilst Andrew and Lisa join us for a seance. Meanwhile, Big Fatty, Nick Goodman, Adam from Foul Monkeys, Elaine, Jay The Hauntcub, Martin Holmes, Cuthbert and the regulars have a few spooky comments for us along the way! All this and there is a Sutton Park clip recorded from a creepy wood during a rainstorm in the Summer of 1993! Our next episode, #388 sees Paul and Martin H having a natter about the big pop hits of 1964 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. Our sound effects are by Shy Yeti and Soundbible. All content of this episode is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2020. Episode 387 was recorded between the 23rd August and 31st October 2020.

Episode Ad: "This time on the show we're celebrating the Halloween weekend with lots of spookiness - not to mention quite a lot of silliness and special guests too! What is Cuthbert up to? Has Toppie Smellie met a Vampire Cow? What are some of Big Fatty's most treasured Halloween memories? What occurred when Foul Monkeys Adam chatted with his spooky neighbours? Is it possible to conduct a seance over Skype? What magical potion has Cromitty sent to Jay The Hauntcub - and why? What happens when a much younger Paul gets attacked by an invisible horror in a rainy wood? What are some of Nick's favourite scary movies? Is Martin Holmes being pestered by a poltergeist? Can a ghost set a video recorder? Can you shave a werewolf!? All this and so much more in our very special 2020 Halloween episode!
