Last night we made a little History
For the first time a major national independently produced public radio show debuted in SL. The Infinite Mind an award winning radio show can be heard on terrestrial radio in over 250 markets and has over 1 million listeners a week. last night they produced, or I am proud to say we produced the first major radio show to originate from SL and go out to the world. We were proud pleased and honored to bring to Sl both the amazingly interview skills of Emmy award winning broadcaster John Hockenberry, and the outstanding and shearly poignant brilliant music of Suzanne Vega. Both of the RL stars were in Sl live in avatar form and I am happy to say enjoyed and groked SL in its fullness
