YETI UNCLE JOHN'S BIG ADVENTURE...

A NEW PODCAST EPISODE - OUT NOW...

Hello beasties!

How was your Christmas? Good, I hope...

What did I do? Well, it was quite a quiet Christmas for me - but I haven't completely ground to a halt...

I spent between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day in my flat with Toby and Deeley - busy writing and editing when not eating Toby's delicious food and watching old films and TV with him. I also recorded links for several episodes which will be coming up in the next couple of weeks...

It was time to move on to other locations by the 27th and I headed for Hillingdon and a party with old friends, before travelling back to Salisbury with my friends, Nick and Aly Goodman... On the 28th, which is today, I caught up with Paul H and then went back to my parents where I am currently based for another couple of days before I return home for New Year; hopefully getting to see my niece before we both return to our particular parts of the world. It's been a nice break - but I'm very glad that it's not quite over yet!

We're not going to be stopping long, this post - I'm mainly just going to be sharing with you the link from our latest podcast episode; not to mention some of the photos that I took back in October when I was recording the scenes on location in the Inns Of Court area of London.

Anyway - up first is all the information you need to find that particular episode...

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 43: YETI UNCLE JOHN'S BIG DAY OUT...


Here we are for episode FORTY THREE and Uncle John is out and about in London Town, revisiting an area where Paul and Toby recently did one of their walks; meanwhile we also catch up with Wifey Number One - Jo. All is not quite as it seems, however - and Cromitty is also nearby... Our next episode, number 44, will be out before New Year's Eve and is a review of the year - from the point of view of our podcast, at least! Which means it doesn't even begin until late May! Please email me at shyyeti@yahoo.co.uk if you have any comments - you can even send me a sound-file and I'll include it on the show. The music is by Shy Yeti and Luca. This episode and all contents are Copyright Paul Chandler, 2016. Episode 43 was recorded between 15th October and 24th December 2016, with a few more recent clips courtesy of Tim and James from the Tastes Like Burning podcast.

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


I took a few photos as I was filming the Uncle John segments of this episode back on Saturday 15th October 2016. These scenes were the first recorded for this episode and at the time I had no idea what else would fill the space; but, of course, I eventually did. Here are some of those photos...














































Next time, I'll be posting a Review Of 2016 (in yeti-land!) including a review of all my creative endeavours during the year, with links to many of them... Once 2017 arrives I'll have more links to new podcasts and a brand new Shy Yeti script featuring Shy and Toppie Smellie visiting a health spa and being menaced by a giant trifle from outer space... As you do...

More soon! Take care...

Yeti hugs,

Paul xx

WRITING TO REACH YOU...


A RETURN TO RADIO WEY...








Hello beasties!

This week we're back on Radio Wey - at least our latest episode of THE SHY LIFE PODCAST is... It was actually recorded back at the start of October, Saturday 1st October 2016 to be exact... The actual episode is all about a busy weekend and so the radio visit is only about half of the duration - but I hope you'll enjoy it. The rest of the episode sees Toby and I exploring some lesser-known areas of London...

Anyway, back to the radio...

I was lucky enough to get the chance to read three poems from 2009's SHY YETI RULES O.K. compilation, as well as chatting with Tim and Nathan, the other guest of the evening. The podcast is out now and you can find all about it at the following link:

THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 31: A BUSY WEEKEND...

Here we are for EPISODE 31!!! This edition sees Mr Yeti having a pretty busy weekend for a change! He heads to IKEA, then appears on local radio with Tim and his guest, Nathan - before heading off for a walk around the City district of London - exploring some of the areas that a lot of people don't even know exist! All this - and also poems and comments from the regular team. Thank you again to Tim Mitchell for inviting me onto his show and to Nathan A. Jones for allowing me to include extracts of his story in this episode. Thank you also to Toby for all his help and for being such an excellent tour guide and companion during the recording of this episode. Please email me at shyyeti@yahoo.co.uk if you have any comments - you can even send me a sound-file and I'll include it on the show. The music is by Shy Yeti and Luca. This episode and all contents are Copyright Paul Chandler, 2016. Episode 31 was recorded between the 1st and 2nd October 2016 with an additional link recorded on 20th October 2016.

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


The three poems that I read were as follows:

RABBITS DON'T REALLY LIKE LETTUCE

THINGS AIN'T WHAT THEY USED TO BE - PT 1

READY, TEDDY, GO...

I haven't read any of those three in quite some time, so it was nice to return to them. Although, as mentioned, these poems were compiled for 2009's SHY YETI RULES O.K. the individual poems were from different collections... RABBITS... written in December 2007, but published in 2008's SHY YETI'S INCREDIBLE PIE-CRUST COLLECTION... THINGS... from 2002's THIRD TIME LUCKY... and READY from 2001's JUNK/FOOD. 

You can get SHY YETI RULES O.K. at:

You can get Nathan's books at:
BOGAMUS THE TROLL:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00E6VF3JM

Here are a few photos taken on the night - mostly of me getting in the way... The first three were taken by Tim and the rest on this post by myself.

But these are not the only photos I have for you this post - next up we have some pictures from our explorations of the City area of London where I recorded the second half of the episode.

I'm off to Venice next week - but expect my next post just before I go... Never fear, I'll be working on some posts whilst I'm away!

More soon...

Take care - yeti hugs,

Paul xx
