THE SHY LIFE PODCAST

Here we are for episode THIRTY FOUR and it's a previously unpublished chat which I recorded back in September - and the return of my friend Other Paul - this time with his husband, Alex. Our conversation was recorded during a nice dinner at Rules Restaurant in Covent Garden, London. We were there for a while before heading to the theatre - so these are the highlights! This episode we also hear bri...

Here we are for episode THIRTY THREE!! This time we speak to friend of the podcast (and friend to yeti in general) Jay The Hauntcub! This isn't the first time we've spoken to Jay - as he appeared in our Halloween episode, but it's the first time that we've had the chance to natter about other matters. This episode also features some comments from our regulars team. Our next episode, number 34 - is...

Here we are for EPISODE 32!!! This time Shy Yeti receives a slightly early birthday surprise from Yeti Uncle John and Dameus Twinklehorn. I'm sorry - but I can't tell you who our guests are this time, because it must be a surprise for you listeners too! Needless to say it's a hoot of a show! Thank you to my special guests! Please email me at shyyeti@yahoo.co.uk if you have any comments - you can e...

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...

Here we are for our feature-length episode THIRTY - it is also our HALLOWEEN edition!! This time we revisit some of our earlier guests to enquire about their favourite Halloween memories...

Here we are for episode TWENTY-EIGHT - and this time Mr Yeti has a couple of hospital appointments to attend - not to mention Mr Deeley, who has to go to the vet! To cheer matters up our returning special guest is Jo or Wifey #1 who first appeared in episode 12 - and Paul manages to only confuse her half-a-dozen times! Yay! We also have messages from our regulars, review a couple of recent appeara...

Here we are for episode TWENTY-SEVEN - and this time we are off to Luxembourg for a few days - visiting some nearby towns in both France and Germany. There's quite a lot going on - and some of it is slightly sinister! Our next episode, number 28 - will be out in the next few days. 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...

Here we are for episode TWENTY-SIX  - which sees the return of Carey (our guest from episode 24)... Not only do we chat whilst he's still in France - but he also pops over to London, where we discuss the pros and cons of modern art. There is also poetry and the usual chatter from some of our regulars. We also catch up with what the aliens have been up to on Tastes Like Burning. Our next episode, n...

Here we are for episode TWENTY-FIVE - and we have a new guest - her name is Julie Archer and not only have we known one another for twenty years, but she is just about to publish her first book! We discuss writing and self-publishing and also music, TV and trips we have shared together abroad. I also have some poems to share with you from my collection, THE SHY LIFE (2009) and there are also messa...

Here we are for episode TWENTY-THREE - and we return to our chat with Elaine, which began in episode 22.

Don't worry - they were friendly! Our next episode, number 24 - will be out by the end of the month. The poem LOVE-GO-ROUND appe...

Here we are for episode TWENTY-TWO - and we join Mr Yeti for our last episode down in Kent... Help is at hand - but what can be done about the ghost that is pursuing Shy - and what does this spook want exactly? We also hear more from one of Paul's oldest friends - known to some as Madame Elaine! This is the third of three rather off-kilter, unnerving and possibly quite silly episodes of THE SHY LI...

Here we are for episode TWENTY-ONE where Mr Yeti continues his week's holiday down in Kent... Something very strange has been occurring, but Shy tries his best to convince himself that it was all in his imagination. Returning to normal, he goes shopping, chats to an old friend on Skype, shares with you another Shy Yeti script and then heads to Canterbury for the day... It is there that he unexpect...

Here we are for episode TWENTY - and this time we're on holiday down in Kent for a week. Mr Yeti is enjoying his own company - spending time in the gardens and sharing some of his writing with the listeners... But something isn't quite right, people almost seem to look straight through him - he sees strange figures standing in the shadows and spiders leave webs in doorways. Something strange is go...

Here we are for episode NINETEEN - and this one really is our longest show, so far! Our special guest is Erik From The Hysteria Continues Podcast - the podcast that got me into listening to podcasts in the first place! We mainly talk about horror films and the 80s - with a very special edition of Vinyl Vault!! Not only that but Mr Yeti takes you for a walk through Hyde Park and Kensington to have...

Here we are for episode EIGHTEEN - and I have recorded probably the strangest and silliest episode yet! My brother, Graham and niece, Alena were visiting my parents and it gave me the chance to catch up with them. I'd not seen them for three years! Things all begin quite normally with a chat about horror films and music - but then suddenly things take an odd turn... Have you ever heard of the band...

Here we are for episode SEVENTEEN - and we're behind the scenes on a local hospital radio show, following Mr Yeti as he travels to the radio station with his friend DJ Tim as they discuss Mr Yeti's recent involvement with podcasting. We also listen in as they prepare the show and as Yeti reads a number of new poems from his recent A YETI WAY OF THINKING collection. Thank you to Tim Mitchell and Ra...

Here we are for episode SIXTEEN - and we're back again to talk about Dark Shadows and having a coughing-fit during a live broadcast!! This time we also take a look at a number of odd little recordings that Mr Yeti has sent to Toppie for THE SMELLCAST over the last few months. It's all good fun and what is more Toppie is approached for an acting job on PICKLE HOLLOW! This is, most certainly, not th...

Here we are for episode FIFTEEN - and it's a very special one because we've got Toppie Smellie as a guest and without Toppie there would be no SHY YETI PODCAST! Toppie and Mr Yeti discuss all manner of podcasting business and also compare notes on their many various projects over the years. Toppie also gets to speak with another show regular! I am aiming to get episode 16 of the show ready before...

Here we are for episode FOURTEEN!! This time Mr Yeti delves into some forgotten treasures that he has been meaning to share with you for some time. We head off with him on a bus, hear about a number of lost poems and are presented with another of his Shy Yeti sketches... All that and much, much more! Thank you to Christina and Nicole from Greetings From Nowhere for allowing me to use a clips from...

Here we are for episode THIRTEEN!! This time Mr Yeti is speaking to two different friends - Andrew "Trowby" Trowbridge and Lisa Parker - whom he first met back in the early 90s through their shared love of cult TV, namely Dr Who. Over the years Mr Yeti appeared in a lot of home-made movies with the pair - and they both became SUTTON PARK regulars. Listen carefully as they discuss these days in a p...

Here we are for episode TWELVE!! This time Mr Yeti is speaking to two different friends - the first he has known for many years and the second he only just met for the first time in person last month. Guest Number One is Mr Yeti's Pretend-Wife, Jo who he first met exactly twenty years ago to the month and Guest Number Two is Rich Harris - one of the poets from July's A YETI WAY OF THINKING Poetry...

Here we are for episode ELEVEN!! This time Mr Yeti is speaking to Julie Howell, who he has known for twenty years...

You will also receive an audio tour of the village, Yeti...
