Where’ve You Been 11: Arcadian Rapture Remastered

Wednes­day, July 7th sees the pre­miere of a brand new episode in our series “Where’ve You Been?”, where we look at things to do and places to see in and around the Sec­ond Life Grid.

In Episode 11, Where Have You Been? high­lights a recent­ly-remod­elled des­ti­na­tion that mix­es shop­ping with enter­tain­ment in a colour­ful, cre­ative­ly built envi­ron­ment that includes art, movies, an ele­gant atri­um, and no less than three club/entertainment venues stacked one on top of the other.

Virtual Community Radio at SL18B

VCRa­dio is going to a par­ty — the biggest par­ty on the Sec­ond Life grid. We’ll be at the Sec­ond Life 18th Birth­day cel­e­bra­tion — SL18B — open­ing June 17 and run­ning through July 1st.

We’ve set up head­quar­ters on SLB Aston­ish, and our plans include a spe­cial edi­tion of the month­ly new age music show The Grove, spe­cial live pre­sen­ta­tions of our sig­na­ture fea­tures Tarot @ Teatime and Where Have You Been? plus a fun triv­ia trea­sure hunt right at VCRa­dio SLB Headquarters!

Where’ve You Been 10: Limoncello Airship Gallery

Wednes­day, June 9th sees the pre­miere of a brand new episode in our series “Where’ve You Been?”, where we look at things to do and places to see in and around the Sec­ond Life Grid.

The 100 Word Stories 16th Anniversary Podcast — Now on Mixcloud!

Long ago, R. Dis­man­tled swore an oath to write a 100 word sto­ry every day until the day he died. He’s not dead yet…

On Mon­day, May 31st,  Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio joined R. Dis­man­tled and the 100 Word Sto­ry Pod­cast as we cel­e­brat­ed 16 years of “keep­ing it brief”, in Sean­chai Library’s Ceiluiradh Glen, with sto­ries and inter­views.  Live in Sec­ond Life, and live here on Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio. We found out what “microfic­tion” and “Drab­ble” are, and how it’s done. We dis­cov­ered R. Dis­man­tled’s back­sto­ry. We cel­e­brat­ed the anniver­sary — and we heard some great, short, sto­ries — all sur­pris­ing­ly deep and some­times dark, too.

This spe­cial pro­gramme is now avail­able on Mix­cloud for those who missed it or would like to hear it again. Per­haps, as a result, you’ll try writ­ing microfic­tion your­self! Check out the week­ly chal­lenge here.
