alrighty, we made it to show number 2 and we are not off the air quite yet, we are in fact expanding our empire to stitcher, arguably the best radio-podcast-on-demand app out there, sandwiched between award-winning public radio programs & home-made podcast fare, varying widely in quality…awesome: just where we belong!

now onward: today’s show is dedicated to artist and prominent second life resident osprey therian, who passed away december 9th 2013.she had a big impact on many sl’ers as well as linden lab employees – we will hear how she shaped the experience of quite a few folks in those very early days of our world.

we will also touch upon the sensitive issue of what to do with your avatar when your physical self leaves this earth.
