MY CREATIVE ANTICS DURING 2017!!
Hello beasties...
Originally I had planned to go into great detail on all my creative projects for 2017 - but as I did so much (especially in podcasting avenue!) it just got a bit out of hand to be doing links to every episode and all the various bits and pieces that are here on the blog! I did it in 2016 and it was a nice post to present - but I let myself down in 2017 and didn't keep it updated and now 2018 has started... I don't have the time! (cries!) Anyway - I'm going to talk about some of the projects that I've worked on during 2017, but first I'll tell you about some of the most recent episodes of the podcast...
Here is the last of our truly Christmassy episodes - although as we put out so many episodes around this time that Christmas creeps into a lot of the shows that came out towards the end of 2017 - and my first couple of 2018! Anyway...
THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 133: TWO XMAS DAY SHOWS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!
Here we are for episode 133 as we go LIVE on Pride48 on Christmas Day to see how everyone is doing! Santa is in the chat-room, Toppie Smellie is keeping in touch and Cromitty, Yeti Uncle John and Charlie Grrr are helping Paul out with some amateur dramatics! There is also extra material in the form of highlights from Tim Mitchell's Radio Wey Christmas Day Show - transmitted, but not recorded on Christmas Day and which Yeti Uncle John and Mr Yeti were part of! Our next episode, number 134 is coming soon - but we're not quite sure which one it'll be! (Mr Yeti has a cold and a lack of decent internet!) All the same do please join us, won't you? Please email me at shyyeti@yahoo.co.uk with any comments - you can even send me a sound-file and I'll include it! The music is by Shy Yeti, Luca and The Seaford Singers (17/18 Model). All content - except for Nathan J's contributions - is Copyright Paul Chandler, 2017. Episode 133 was recorded on 25th December 2017, with extra material recorded on 9th December 2017. Thanks to Tim Mitchell and Nathan Jones for the use of material from our Radio Wey Christmas Show.

We've pretty much got the first two months of the 2018 season of THE SHY LIFE PODCAST either in the can or part-recorded - well, other than the live episodes, of course!
Whilst I'm at it you may wish to click on this link - it's my updated website where you can find all the episodes of the podcast in one place:

Returning to the blog itself - I made the slightly unfortunate decision to change the background theme back in the autumn - I'm not really sure that I intended to, but before I knew it - it was done and I couldn't reverse it. Unfortunately this has messed with a lot of how the blog is viewed going back over past years - but I've tried to make the 2017 ones, at least follow the new format and will hopefully go back over the older posts eventually.
2017 was my 15th year of this blog and I continued to post on it regularly - usually about once a week... I won't be presenting a long list of these or of the podcasts - especially as I have just presented my SHY LIFE PODCAST Review Of The Year for 2017 and you can take a listen to that instead! I did publish a number of new stories and poems here on the blog - but they'll be released soon as part of my next collection of prose and poetry, so if you've not read them already you may end up doing so when the new book comes out in the Spring/Summer.

APPEARANCES ON OTHER SHOWS...
During 2017 I sent recorded messages to THE SMELLCAST, BIG FATTY ONLINE, VERA SPEAKS... FOR REAL, TASTES LIKE BURNING and also recorded a number of articles for ROUND THE ARCHIVES - answering questions on Cult TV and doing articles on Bergerac and the 1974 Dr Who story, Invasion Of The Dinosaurs. I also made two appearances on L.O.T.S.L. during the year. I also made a number of appearances on Radio with Tim and Nathan - and one appearance on Radio Woking, also with Tim and all of these appearances made it into SHY LIFE PODCAST episodes during 2017; with Yeti Uncle John even showing up to help out on our Christmas edition.
PROJECTS I'VE BEEN WORKING ON...
This year I've been working on the following projects - those starred projects (*) I hope will be my main releases in 2018.
*HOT STUFF - season 3
HOT STUFF - season 5 (plans for season 6)
*KENSINGTON GORE - season 3
KENSINGTON GORE - season 4
THE BEAST OF FRIENDS - lost season
*THE SHY YETI SCRIPTS
*SHY YETI GOES BLOGGY
I've also been working on a book about the first 100 episodes of the podcast - but I've only got up to episode 19, so far!
I think that's about it for 2017 - although I'm sure there will be something I've forgotten! Sorry, it's not in as much detail as I did for 2016 - but I'm sure it's actually quite enough detail for most people!
Next time I'll be presenting to you the first poem that I've completed in quite some time - it's called BITE - that's all I can say for now!!
More soon!
Yeti hugs,
Paul xx
