What's THE SHY LIFE PODCAST about?

This is THE SHY LIFE PODCAST - each episode provides a glimpse into the somewhat bizarre world of Mr Shy Yeti. You will meet his friends, hear tales of his library days and his heroic adventures in Sutton Park back in the 90s. All that and maybe you'll even get to travel with the gang as they gallivant about the universe - and if you're good he might even read you one of his daft poems!
