About our shows

Tarot @ Teatime pro­vides an intro­duc­tion to the Tarot, its his­to­ry and how to read the cards. It’s pre­sent­ed by Dr Hon­ey Heart and airs on Sun­days and Thurs­days at 12 noon and 4pm Pacif­ic Time/SLT. Shows are repeat­ed for two weeks at a time. Each pro­gramme address­es a dif­fer­ent card from the pop­u­lar Waite-Smith Tarot deck, and includes a demon­stra­tion read­ing. Pro­grammes are around 15 min­utes long.

Where Have You Been? dis­cuss­es places to vis­it and things to do around the Sec­ond Life grid. The show is pre­sent­ed by Cale­do­nia Sky­tow­er and Elrik Mer­lin. Pro­grammes fea­ture Arts, Explo­rations and Events and run for around 15 min­utes. The show airs on Wednes­days and Sat­ur­days at noon and 4pm SLT/Pacific for two weeks at a time.

The Mag­ic of The Musi­cal This month­ly show cov­ers all aspects of musi­cal the­atre and is host­ed by Cale­do­nia Sky­tow­er. Each show address­es a dif­fer­ent aspect of the art — a show, a com­pos­er, or some oth­er fea­ture of the musi­cal. Many edi­tions fea­ture spe­cial guests from the the­atre indus­try with exten­sive knowl­edge of dif­fer­ent aspects of the field. The show airs on the third Sat­ur­day in the month at 2pm Pacific/SLT and runs about 60–90 minutes.

Many of our orig­i­nal pro­grammes can be heard again on demand by vis­it­ing our page on Mix­cloud.

In addi­tion to our orig­i­nal pro­gram­ming, we fea­ture oth­er series pro­duced by third parties.

ZBS Foun­da­tion Radio Dra­ma Every Fri­day at noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT we present anoth­er episode from the clas­sic radio dra­mas pro­duced by our friends at ZBS Foun­da­tion. ZBS is a not-for-prof­it arts orga­ni­za­tion that’s been in exis­tence since 1970, pro­duc­ing radio/audio sto­ries. These are com­ic and cos­mic adven­tures, sci­ence fic­tion, mys­ti­cal mys­ter­ies — some with spir­i­tu­al wis­doms woven with­in. Their inten­tion has always been to raise con­scious­ness by using the media, radio and audio. Gen­er­al­ly 10 to  30-minute episodes.

The Engines of Our Inge­nu­ity airs on Wednes­days and Sat­ur­days every four hours from 4am Pacif­ic. Writ­ten and host­ed by John Lien­hard and Hous­ton Pub­lic Media, Hous­ton, The Engines of Our Inge­nu­ity tells the sto­ry of how our cul­ture is formed by human cre­ativ­i­ty. Each 5‑minute pro­gramme uses the record of his­to­ry to reveal the way art, tech­nol­o­gy, and ideas have shaped us. Episode top­ics range from cable cars to Civ­il War sub­marines, from the con­nec­tion between Roman­tic poets and Vic­to­ri­an sci­ence to the inven­tion of the bar code.

When we’re not broad­cast­ing a spe­cial pro­gramme, tune in for a vari­ety of music, from Ear­ly Music to Clas­si­cal, Light Music and more. On Wednes­days and Sat­ur­days we fea­ture a par­tic­u­lar genre of music, and this can be quite wide-ranging.
