Where Have You Been? S04E12: We Orange the World at Artsville
We’re pleased to present the latest episode in our original series, “Where Have You Been?”, where we discuss things to do and places to visit across the Second Life Grid.
Episodes are broadcast on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 12 noon and 4pm SLT/Pacific Time.

Programme Schedule
We have recently changed our broadcasting hours, but that has not affected the schedule for our original programming, which remains unchanged. Here a list of shows, days and times. All times SLT/Pacific.

However, as more listening hours means more music licensing costs, it increased to a level that was financially unsustainable with our limited income, especially as it occurred out of the blue. We took temporary measures in order to avoid incurring additional costs, and ultimately decided that to remain within our budget, we would no longer broadcast on Mondays and Tuesdays for the time being, and focus on airing our original series, whose schedules remain unchanged.
