THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 733:
A CHATTERBOX FOR THE END OF SUMMER!

Here we are for episode 733! In which a slightly depleted Chatterbox team team up to discuss - amongst other things, some of the silly names that Charles Dickens named his characters - not to mention ome celebrity birthdays for September, would you rather decisions and some flashbacks to previous shows. We also have a new song by Mr Yeti (featuring Udio) entitled CAT THIEF, based on one of Paul's poems from many years ago! On our next episode, #734, two of the regulars come up with a money making idea - and no, it has nothing to do with Yeti Uncle John, for a change! Please join us! 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. The music is by Shy Yeti, Udio, Muffleyontour and Luca. Sound effects by Paul C and Soundbible. Logo and artwork by Owen O, with some assistance and photos provided by Shy Yeti. All other episode content is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2024.

There are wedding bells and also some very strange goings on in the park with Basil, Bakov and some invisible killer deer! Thanks to all who helped film these episode so many years ago now! (Mainly George W and Lee F on this occasion!) Thanks also to Nick G for digitising all the existing tapes of Sutton Park - a mammoth undertaking indeed!
