OH, FEBRUARY!
Hello beasties!
This time on the blog we'll be looking at the episodes of the podcast released during February 2023...First up, we're back with Paul and Toppie discussing the 42 books that Paul worked his way through during 2022!
Here we are for episode 611! In which we present a conversation between Paul and Toppie about the 42 (plus!) books that Paul read during 2022 - a mixture of horror, short stories, tragedy, dark humour, autobiography and... well, all sorts of many various things! Our next show, #612 sees us diving back into the mystery of August Evans and we encounter the intriguing Mister Hubert Gentry who may or may not know something about August's missing six months back in the first half of 2020. Do be sure to join us and maybe we'll learn the truth! Email us at shyyeti@yahoo.co.uk if you have any comments - you can even send me a sound-file and I'll include it.

Next up, we explore deeper into the mystery of what happened to August Evans back in the early 2020! This episode was originally entitled, "August Evans And The Intriguing Hubert Gentry!"
Here we are for episode 612! In which Paul probes deeper into August's past and comes up with a name - Hubert Gentry - manager of The Queer Cove Bar where it appears August once worked; so why does Hubert claim this isn't so? Calum is also back to answer some quiz questions and Paul and his mum are busy going through an old box of audio tapes which have been found up in the roof; not quite as exciting as August's mysterious box - but there are parallels! Very many thanks to Toppie Smellie for his help with this episode and for putting us in contact with Hubert Gentry! Thanks also to Mum and Calum! Our next episode, #613 sees us entering a romantic time of year; love is in the air; but who has cupid chosen?
