THE SHY LIFE PODCAST

Here we are for episode 403!

We also have a very special guest who has returned to the fold in a new guise... and he wants to paint some of our chat-room followers! How's THAT going to work!? T...

Here we are for episode 402! This time we look at our favourite moments from some of the episodes of The Shy Life Podcast which were released during the first six months of 2020.

Part 2 of thi...

Here we are for episode 401!

We talk Christmas horror films, share some trivia and also do a quiz together! Yeti Uncle John and...

Here we are for episode 400! It's a big one and also a celebration of the festive period during 2020 - recorded before, during and after the Christmas period. We have a lot of familiar special guests showing up this time for our socially distanced Festive Party - but we're also rather concerned about Long Lost Cousin Algernon becoming The Controller, whilst wondering where poor old Dameus has ende...

Here we are for episode 395! This time we share with you the story of August Evans - which featured on The Smellcast earlier this year.

Deeley, of course...  ...

Here we are for episode 392! This time we catch up with our special guests, Andrew, Lisa and Toppie for our catch-up chat for November 2020.

We also have extra material left over from our previou...

Here we are for episode 386 - our 82nd episode of 2020, so far! This time it's another bumper-length episode which begins when Paul receives an audio  message from his old friend Elaine - a message which appears to have arrived rather late... 28 years late in fact!

Here we are for episode 383! This time we have quite a bumper show - but things do not go quite to plan! We begin with Andrew and Lisa from Round The Archives - discussing some facts related to the periodic table - but it's when Jay The Hauntclub and A-Z Martin arrive that things go a tad peculiar! (Due to technical difficulties the part of Jay is played by Ikk and A-Z Martin by Sniffy Martin!) In...

Here we are for episode 381! This time Paul and Cuthbert dig through the archives to locate scenes from two episodes which were never completed - the longest of which relates to Virtual Reality, while the other involves a petty feud between the regulars after the winning of a prestigious award!

This time Paul is stuck in traffic and so Cuthbert steps in to present some choice clips from some of Mr Yeti's poetry videos recorded in a number of different European cities between Summer 2011 and Summer 2012!
