THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - APRIL 2025 EPISODES...

APRIL 2025! 

WHAT LIES IN STORE?


Hello beasties!

This time on the blog we'll be looking at the episodes of the podcast released during April 2025...

First up, the last ever episode of the show... second discarded edition! 

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 759:
ANOTHER FINAL SHY LIFE PODCAST EPISODE!

Here we are for episode 759! In which... well, it's certainly not an April Fool's episode - but this edition was originally recorded as a potential final episode of The Shy Life Podcast, but it's since been replaced.  So in this edition - which didn't ever actually occur - Paul and Ikk take a pretty routine trip up into space... only things quickly reach a finale! Thanks also to Calum for appearing in our quiz this time! In our next show - #760 we catch up Hubert Gentry as he unveils his new bar - but what will Cromitty and the gang make of it!? Do 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, IBD, Muffleyontour, Udio and Luca. Sound effects by Paul C, Beats Boy Benny and Freesound Community from Pixabay and Soundbible. Logo by Owen O and Shy Yeti. All other content of this episode is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2025. Episode 759 was recorded on the 29th April 2022, with a Calum quiz from the 13th February 2023 and a brief introduction recorded on the 28th March 2025. Cuthbert's lines were recorded on the 9th April 2025. Please note: There is a slight background hiss during some scenes caused by this episode being recorded in outer space; however it should not spoil your enjoyment.
