THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - MARCH 2026 EPISODES...

 

MARCH 2026! 

MARCHING CLOSER TO THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY!

Hello beasties!

This time on the blog we'll be looking at the episodes of the podcast released during March 2026...

Sadly less episodes went out during March than was hoped for - although extensive work was done on another episode that then had to be postponed in the middle of the month (long story), also since then the laptop that I was using to edit that episode has gone kaput - so I suspect I'll have to start that one again.  Anyway, not to worry too much - we've still released exactly as many episodes at this point of the year as we had in 2025.

First up, Geeky Panda is back and Cromitty is showing him around his laboratory...

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 809:
GEEKY PANDA AND THE RETURN TO YETI ISLAND!

Here we are for episode 809! In which Geeky Panda gets a look around the lab and there is even more nonsense than usual! Meanwhile, Paul shares an audio diary from his final trip to The Little Island in 2025. All this and Paul also receives surprise news from his French Teacher, Alex... We also have a new song called YOU'RE A TEASE (BUT YOU PLEASE ME) which features on the forthcoming Mr Yeti's new album, THE UNLIKELY RETURN OF SHY YETI... However this is an alternate version of the song (VERSION 14), exclusive to this episode rather than the versions that feature on the new album. Our next episode, #810 sees us wondering where exactly our new recruit, Frederik has gotten to... will Paul have an ace up his sleeve just in case of emergencies! Thanks Geeky Panda and also to Alex for their help with this edition of the show and also to Mark and Fi for being excellent hosts during my return trip to the Isle Of Wight!! Do join us! Email us at shyyeti@yahoo.co.uk if you have comments - you can even send a sound-file and I'll include it. The music is by Shy Yeti, Muffleyontour, Luca and Udio. Sound effects by Paul C and Soundbible. Logo by Shy Yeti. All other content is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2026. Episode 809 was recorded in a number of segments - Geeky Panda's recordings were made on the 3rd August 2025, the Isle of Wight diary was recorded between the 10th and the 14th October 2025 and Alex's appearance was recorded on the 8th February 2026.

Next up, Paul is concerned about the whereabouts of his new recruit... he may need an emergency replacement! But WHO!?!

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 810:
FAKE NEWS AND FUR-BALLS! (THE ARRIVAL OF OLI!)

Here we are for episode 810! In which Paul is confused by the loss of a new recruit but thankfully he has just recorded with his new friend, Oli and can share that recording! Meanwhile Cromitty and YUJ are falling for all kinds of nonsense facts! We also learn a little more about the news that French Teacher Alex revealed in our last show! Also, in the month that his new album, THE UNLIKELY RETURN OF SHY YETI is released; we present an exclusive mix of the song, THE RAISIN INVASION which does not feature on the album. Thanks to Oli and Alex for their help and to Frederik for the use of a clip from episode 805. Our next show, #811 sees Paul and Martin discuss some of the rising stars of the new decade... well, the 1980s, at least! Do join us! Email us at shyyeti@yahoo.co.uk if you have comments - you can even send audio and I'll include it.
