THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - JUNE 2026 EPISODES...

 JUNE 2026! 

SUMMER IS A-COMING IN...

Hello beasties!

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

June was a busy month because I went on a cruise with Harry F early on in June - but luckily I'd prepared an episode that was ready to release before I went away; plus there was another episode half-finished waiting for me when I went back to Salisbury later that month...

So, let's get going with the first episode of June which was recorded in April when Mateusz was visiting me in London...I'd been working on it earlier whilst I was putting on anniversary episodes and I would spend a little time doing it when I needed a break; even though I knew that it wouldn't be released until after episode 819... Anyway, here we go...

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 820:
A HAPPY HOLIDAY REUNION FOR PAUL AND MATTY!

Here we are for episode 820! Guess who's back?! Yes, it's Grizzly and he and Paul are going to have some adventures during their spring vacation week! They head to ABBA Voyage, take a visit to a nearby art gallery - not to mention enjoying an afternoon at a karaoke bar! All this and so much more!!! Our next episode, #821 sees Cromitty's old and troublesome mentor, Alonzo returning to the show! What will Hubert make of him - will they get on well or clash? 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 Udio, Luca and Shy Yeti. Sound effects are by Shy Yeti and Pixabay. Logo by Shy Yeti. All other content is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2026. Episode 820 was recorded between the 18th and 25th April 2026. Please Note: I've been editing this edition slowly over the last month or so - so that I'd be able to release it now before I take a short break away, where I'll also be recording new episodes - but won't be able to spend time editing. Anyway, there should be more shows coming out later in June - but there might be a short break!

This episode can be downloaded on iTunes, Acast, Podbean and also from Soundcloud at the following link:


Next up, Alonzo Crutch is back to cause more trouble for Cromitty - this time he'll meet Hubert! How will it go?

A MEETING OF MINDS FOR ALONZO AND HUBERT!

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 822:
SHY YETI'S EXTRAS LIVE IN OUTER SPACE!

Here we are for episode 822! In a change to the scheduled episode, instead we join Paul and Ikk on another LIVE show up in space - we also have some extra material too because Ikk has got Paul helping out with some DIY on the ship! Our extras include a teaser chat between Paul and Toppie about a recent Norwegian cruise... but you'll be hearing the actual episodes that we recorded in the months to come! In the rest of the LIVE show we hear from Gianluca who is just back from Japan and there is also a slightly dubious internet quiz about ABBA along with some trivia about the band! Our next show, #823 sees us delve into our pile of episodes awaiting editing... but which one will it be next? Do join us!

We also have extra material with Nick from a trip he made to Paris towards the end of last year!

SHY YETI'S GAMING NIGHT!

Here we are for episode 824! In a change to the scheduled episode we present a show that's been hiding away in the archives for several years... I guess it's finally time to see!
