    MY FAVOURITE MONSTER! (A SHY LIFE PODCAST SONG!)

    Our new episode should be out Sunday/Monday. Uncle Warren is back and we're discussing the TV shows of 1980... But there is also quite a bit of music like MY FAVOURITE MONSTER... which I created using Udio, although the lyrics are pure Shy Yeti. Anyway... Have a dance around the living room to this and I'll get back to editing the next episode!

An Amazing World...

Utterly charming, pure magic, surreal world of a group of strange, unusual (but heartwarmingly innocent) friends living in London (I’m guessing the borough of Richmond On Thames based on the episode they all went over to Kew Gardens) and the many wonderful days’ adventures they have.

I’ve only heard a few episodes so far, which I’m so happy about so I won’t run out anytime soon ~ but I’ve no idea how much the series evolves - or if it even does at all - staying the same lovely way they’ve somehow brought a safe, utopian lifestyle to their tiny little microcosm of paradise on earth, but I truly hope and pray that these people, these characters, will live this way forever.

Do NOT Miss a Yeti Dance!

Like a well-made cocktail.. The Shy Life is always a nice blend of original poetry, popular music and character hijinx! Escape from reality as you slip on your earbuds.. you may just meet a talking potted plant, a starlette, or an alien!

Toppie Smellie ,

He's Not That Shy!

Whimsical content from the mind of Paul Chandler, will delight you with its charming blend of real life and fanciful happenings, plus a smattering of Paul's own (self-described) daft poetry, essays and scripts. Most episodes contain recorded conversations between friends about their own shared histories, and a mutual fondness for topics such as travel, collecting, writing, popular music, television and movies. A unique, one-of-a-kind podcast!
