“Where Have You Been?” Live from SL19B
Today, Saturday 25th June, at 2pm Pacific/SLT, that’s 10pm in the UK, we are broadcasting a special LIVE edition of our original series, “Where Have You Been?”, where we talk about things to do and places to see around the Second Life Grid. We’ll be broadcasting live from the VCRadio Tower at the Second Life 19th Birthday Community Celebrations, and we’ll be giving our picks from SL19B and suggesting a selection of locations around the SLB regions that you might enjoy visiting. We welcome you to come along and join the studio audience for this special live show. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/SLB%20Imagination/110/188/24
Our Featured Music today is relaxing, tuneful and largely instrumental Smooth Jazz.

Because we’re running this special live edition, we won’t be broadcasting “Where Have You Been?” at the usual times today. However we will be repeating this live edition in the regular time slots on the 29th and July 2nd.
“Where Have You Been?” May The Art Be With You!
Just after 12 noon and 4pm Pacific/Second Life time on Wednesday and Saturday beginning May 11th (for two weeks) tune in for the latest edition of “Where Have You Been?” where we take a look at places to visit and things to do around the Second Life Grid.
In Series 2, Episode 10, we take a look at a new art exhibit celebrating the Star Wars galaxy, at Elven Falls Art Collective.
“Where Have You Been?” visits Svarga and discovers SLRPS
Just after 12 noon and 4pm Pacific/Second Life time on Wednesday and Saturday beginning April 27th (for two weeks) tune in for the latest edition of “Where Have You Been?” where we take a look at places to visit and things to do around the Second Life Grid.
In Series 2, Episode 9, we visit a fabulous location from the dim past: Svarga. It was created in 2006 by Laukosargas Svarog, and even in those days it was a must-see destination — an excellent example of the virtual builder’s craft. It’s immersive, and uses a rich mixture of shape and texturing to evoke the world of the Gods from Slavic mythology.
It’s one of the regions preserved by Linden Lab as being of special historical interest — and we also discuss the SLRPS (Second Life Region Preservation Society) and some of the other historic regions preserved under its banner.
And every four hours from 4am Pacific, catch Engines of Our Ingenuity from the University of Houston — a radio programme that tells the story of how our culture is formed by human creativity.

Where Have You Been…? Jurassic Park! Tribute
In the latest episode of our original series, “Where Have You Been?”, where we suggest places to go and things to do around the Second Life Grid, we visit the Jurassic Park Adventure, the latest experience from :oxygen, created by Justice Vought. It’s a tribute experience with several different levels: there’s a cave of dinosaur fossils, plus helicopter, Pteranodon and jeep rides, all highly exciting and immersive — and (especially at the “dangerous level”) scary where traps await you! There are peaceful vegetarian long-necks, but there are also Velociraptors — and of course, T. Rex! Fans of the movie series and thrill seekers alike might like to consider a visit to Jurassic Park!
