Hello everyone!

Welcome to the new website and the new forums! I hope we can see people in here discussing the shows - the issues - and what they'd like to see on forthcoming shows!

Saffia!!!! So brave you are, making the first forum post! I hope you like the new setup, and there are still more things coming, but I think we got things to the point where we felt things were "mostly working". Keep an eye out for bugs, and if you find them, our mission will be the squash em!

Our new season starts this week, and we have an exciting selection of topics lined up. We do hope you'll enjoy them. And don't forget, if you know somewhere that will be of interest to us or our listeners, on any grid, do let us know.

Saffia! I am so glad to see that you have procured this forum! I watched a couple of the videos of DW here on the TreetTV site, and they work marvelously well. I really enjoyed the Christmas show in Rothesey. My doesn't Elrik have a lovely home there!

Hi everyone! What a great new forum for us to gather and talk about the show. Elrik's right, we do have some really interesting places to take viewers this season, and the first one is...well, that would be telling. But I wonder, might giraffes be involved?

The latest edition of Designing Worlds (episode 73) was extraordinarily fact-filled, in my view. Of course, we always have quite a lot of information in our programmes, but our guests from Bristol University had a great deal to share with us about the Pompeii Court at the Sydenham Crystal Palace and their re-creation of it in Second Life. Do have a look at the show.

This week on Designing Worlds we visit the regions of Al Andalus and in particular the Alhambra, home to some of the most beautiful recreations of historic real-life buildings you'll find in Second Life. In addition we talk to Rose Springvale and Jamie Palisades about how the political system in the Confederation of Democratic Sims operates. The programme represents a great introduction to the region and what goes on there. Click here to view the show.

In our latest show we visited Virtual Africa with Alanagh Recreant of Uthango. Alanagh gave us a very spirited tour of several of the main areas in the four-sim region and we all learned a great deal. I would encourage viewers to visit Virtual Africa themselves - there is a lot more there than we had time to show.

This amazing project is run by Alanagh Recreant of Uthango Social Investments, a South African not-for-profit organisation. The region consists of four private islands, some of which we will be exploring on the show, will discussing initiatives and projects with Alanagh.

Designing Worlds: The Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Museum

This time we have a particularly visual show for you, that will surely pique the interest of anyone with an eye for architecture and design, in-world or out, as we visit Second Life's Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Museum, in the region of Usonia.

Frank Lloyd Wright is widely regarded as the leading American architect of the 20th century, with a career spanning over half of it. His earliest work dates back to the early 1900s, while his last design, the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, was built in 1959.
