THE LAST POST OF 2020...

 

BUT THE FIRST POST OF 2021...

CELEBRATING EPISODE 400!!


Hello beasties!

This time we're celebrating our 400th episode of THE SHY LIFE PODCAST! (It's actually out 401st episode as we started with a pilot episode right at the very beginning!) It's also our first post for 2021!

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 400:

A VERY MERRY EPISODE 400! (FESTIVE YETI 2020!)

Here we are for episode 400! It's a big one and also a celebration of the festive period during 2020 - recorded before, during and after the Christmas period. We have a lot of familiar special guests showing up this time for our socially distanced Festive Party - but we're also rather concerned about Long Lost Cousin Algernon becoming The Controller, whilst wondering where poor old Dameus has ended up! Thank you to all our Special Guests this time - we don't want to name them all here as it will spoil the surprise! Our next episode, #401 sees us dealing a little with the fall-out from episode 400 - and we also share with you a special edition of the show that was recorded on your actual Christmas Day with Toppie, Yeti Uncle John, Aunt Tappie, Ikk and I... up in space! 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, The S.H. Singers and Luca. The sound effects are by Shy Yeti and Soundbible. All content of this episode is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2020. Episode 400 was recorded between the 9th November and 30th December 2020; with Sutton Park clips from Winter 1994.

SHY LIFE PODCAST SHOWS...
COMING SOON!!

December 2020 is gone and here we are at the start of January 2021 and we have lots of new episodes in the pipe-line!

Anyway - take a look at what else we have in store...

All other episodes mentioned here have not yet been recorded, yet are planned.

With Toby busy with work and Paul spending all hours editing podcasts, things have gotten a little untidy during lock-down and so 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 shoveling every last thing into a bin bag...

For that matter will Cuthbert make it through the night!?!
