Main: Seasons of Hope - Relay for Life of Second Life

Today marks what is surely the biggest event in the year for the virtual world of Second Life - it's Relay For Life of Second Life 2011. For several months, groups in-world have been raising money for the American Cancer Society and other associated organisations across the world, with fundraisers, dances, and events of all kinds. At the time of writing, RFL of SL has this year raised almost $325,000US so far (and over $1,000,000 since its inception in 2005), with organisations all over the Grid contributing and working hard to raise more.

The event itself is a 24-hour relay around a special track surrounded by astonishing builds on many different themes, but all unified by the idea of the seasons - Seasons of Hope. It starts today at 10am SLT with the opening ceremony and ends a full day later.

Find out more about the events happening today here, or you can watch the special television coverage on the RFL Telethon channel. If you can, come down and join in - and please make a donation if you possibly can.

Today's programme provides uplifting and moving music to support the Relay effort. Enjoy - and join in if you can.

And don't forget to join us for the ZBS Radio Hour at 7pm and 3am UK time (11am and 7pm Pacific) when we come to the end of Jack Flanders's Dreams of Sumatra, and rthe special two-part Ruby adventure, The Tookah's Tales.

ZBS Radio Hour presents... Two Minute Film Noir

Today on the ZBS Radio Hour - 11am and 7pm Pacific time (that's 7pm and 3am in the UK) - we have a special treat for you: a collection of stories from the ZBS collection Two Minute Film Noir.

Last week we finished the latest Jack Flanders adventure, Return to Inverness. We'll be starting a new Jack Flanders series soon, but this week we thought you might like something different to accompany the final part of Ruby 6 that airs at the bottom of the hour today.

Two Minute Film Noir starts the ZBS Radio Hour today. It's a series of two-minute stories based on noir characters and images. These are stories about gangsters, bimbos, cons, cops, lovers, losers, platinum blondes, mink coats, high heels, and neon signs reflecting on rain-slicked streets. By rights, they fit right into the style of our Dieselpunk stream, and if you like them, please tell us, as we are considering running them on a regular basis there.

There are a large number of these stories, performed by the “usual suspects,” that is, the cast from the Ruby series. And they had great fun doing these film noir characters.

Some of the Stories
Barking Guns & Dancing Dolls. An investor in a pro-Mafia musical does not like the dance number entitled, “Cement Sneakers.” In Say “So Long” to Shangri-la, an angel decides to take a walk on the wild side. Johnny Gonzalez, LPI (Latino Private Eye), solves a crime before it happens in, The Short Siesta. What if you were given everything you asked for, wouldn’t life be grand? Not necessarily, as Joey finds out in, All Green Lights to Hell. A hat check girl dreams of all the ways she’ll get even in, A Big Sack of Wind. Wherever you live, you’re being watched in, Nightmare on Stool Pigeon Street. A man risks his life for a jelly donut in, Dying for a Cup of Joe. Four Fingers Luigi draws the line in, The Fifth Finger. Any guy will gladly give up his life for her, and no wonder, she is Angelina, Angel of Death. Latino private eye, Johnny Gonzalez returns for, The Long Night of the Hot Chorizo.

From the Library: 'Tis The Victorian Season - and the Goons!

Today, Elrik Merlin presents a programme of Victorian music, including seasonal items ranging from carols played on hand-bells, musical boxes and pipe organs to familiar choral and concert works of the period. And then we have a special programme for you: a Goon Show from 1959.


The image shown here is what is generally regarded as the first Christmas card, produced for Mr Henry Cole in 1843 by John Halsey of Torquay, in south-west England. Mr Cole had apparently left himself without enough time to write a personal seasonal greeting to his friends and relations and as a result commissioned the card. As was often the case at the time, there is a moral to the art: the centre panel shows the well-to-do celebrating Christmas while on either side we see the poor being fed and clothed, reminding recipients that the season was one in which, in the depths of winter, the less-well-off should be remembered particularly.

Radio Drama Today!

At 11am and 7pm Pacific (19:00 and 03:00 GMT) we'll be continuing our two exciting new adventure serials in The ZBS Radio Hour: at the top of the hour, it's another Jack Flanders adventure: Dreams of Rio; followed half an hour later by Ruby 4 Part I: The Moons of Sonto Lore. Tune in!

And then at 1pm and 9pm Pacific (21:00 and 05:00 GMT) we have a special treat for you: we'll be going back to the roots of modern British comedy and presenting a seasonal episode of the Goon Show, first broadcast over 60 years ago, with a hilarious script by Spike Milligan. This show runs for 30 minutes.

Season's greetings to our listeners and sponsors from all of us at thap gump! Thank you for your support throughout the year.

From the Library: 60 Years of English Folk

Today Elrik Merlin surveys the world of classic English folk music from the last 60 years or so, with artists ranging from the Fairports, Pentangle, and the Incredible String Band to current artists like Kate Rusby. However the emphasis is largely on earlier and traditional material. "You'll hear a lot of music from the classic days of the 1970s folk revival today," he says. "There are even some seasonal references (no, I don't mean 14 versions of Tam Lin. There are only about five). And as usual I've thrown in a few antiques & curios, such as folk interpretations of Beatles songs."

Then don't forget to tune in at 11am and 7pm Pacific (6pm and 2am in the UK this week only as transatlantic clocks are out of sync until tomorrow) for the ZBS Radio Hour. We'll be airing the final episode of Ruby 3: The Invisible World and before that the latest instalment of Jack Flanders' adventure Dreams of Rio.
