THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - 348: SHY YETI GOES ZOOM!! (JUNE 2020)

Here we are for episode 348! This time we are joined by a whole host of special guests via Zoom! Despite a slight echo at one point and having to switch calls half way through we soldier through with podcast chat, trivia, a bit of a wiki-wander through the career of a recently departed acting favourite. We also have a few clips from previous episodes - an extra quiz with Calum and if that wasn't enough, Cuthbert joins us to deliver all the linking bits! Thank you to Martin, Andrew, Lisa, Toppie, Nick, Calum and Cuthbert for their help with putting this edition together. Our next episode, #349 sees Paul and his brother, Graham having a chat - whilst we also hear some more of Paul's conversation with his niece, Alena. Do join us, won't you?! 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.

Here we are for episode 347! This time we're taking a good look at some of the big pop hits of 1976 on both sides of the pond; Nick is back and the regulars share memories and their versions of a number of the tunes! This episode was recorded near Salisbury before lock-down and all cat activities that would usually be provided by Deeley were - instead - performed by one of my parent's cats - probably Megan. In addition to our music chat Cuthbert The Robot is also proud to announce a special Zoom-quiz with flat-mate, Calum - how many questions can the boys get right this time!? Our next episode, #348 sees us heading LIVE online for our Zoom Call for June 2020!

Here we are for episode 346!

We have chats on buses, down in storerooms, in the middle of busy pubs and on railways station platforms with all manner of special guests - from Flat-mate Calum to Rob The Robot and most surprisingly of all - with a slightly distracted Niece Alena via Skype. What secrets will emerge about the mysterious Control Inc? How are Tappie and Bettina involved and what troubles will Long-lost Cousin Algernon bring in his wake. Our next episode, #347 will be another of our music episodes as Nick and I look at the big hits of 1976 on both sides of the pond! Do join us, won't you?!
