THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 824: 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! In which Paul tries an old-fashioned night of gaming by trying to teach the gang how to play the card game, Exploding Kittens; but it's all a lot more complicated than he bargained for! We also have some chatter about a couple of books that Paul has been reading and a special guest cameo from friend of the show, "Mylo" - plus some card playing natter from Mama and Papa Yeti; many thanks to them all for their contributions this episode! Our next show, #827 sees us inviting Paul From School onto the show to help us out with some of the Agony Aunt letters that we have to answer! Do join us! Email us at shyyeti@yahoo.co.uk if you have comments - you can even send audio and I'll include it.
