Posted on by

Join Cale­do­nia Sky­tow­er live on-the-air on Vir­tu­al Com­mu­ni­ty Radio, or in Sec­ond Life at the SL19B Cel­e­bra­tion Sat­ur­day, June 18th at 2pm slt/pacific.

The Mag­ic of The Musi­cal explores the blend­ing of music and dra­ma — fea­tur­ing the songs, his­to­ry, and lore that make up the musi­cal the­ater canon. Learn more about some of your favorite shows and com­posers as we cue the orches­tra, and the over­ture begins.

This month, Episode 03: “Count­down to The Tony Awards” (yes, they actu­al­ly already hap­pened — dif­fer­ent kind of count) Cale­do­nia talks to guest Mor­rie Enders, the Exec­u­tive Direc­tor of Lin­coln Com­mu­ni­ty Play­house in Nebras­ka. Togeth­er they explore some “what ifs” and “might have been“s from var­i­ous Best Musi­cal races from the Amer­i­can The­ater Wing’s Tony Awards past.

In keep­ing with the show, “On Broad­way!” is our Fea­tured Music theme through the day. And don’t miss the lat­est episode of Where Have You Been? which this time vis­its the Elven For­est, and Engines of Our Inge­nu­ity every four hours from 4am Pacif­ic.

Dreams Of Rio: Parts One & Two Back-To-Back

Posted on by

We had some tech­ni­cal issues with time­zones last Fri­day and as a result the first episode of this ser­i­al went out at two very odd times and you may well have missed it!

So on 17th June, we’re broad­cast­ing episodes 1 & 2 back to back! Tune in on Fri­day for the first two episodes of this new Jack Flan­ders radio ser­i­al from our friends at ZBS Foun­da­tion: Dreams Of Rio! These are the first of 13 half-hour episodes, one every Fri­day at noon and 4pm Pacific/SLT.

DREAMS OF RIO — A JACK FLANDERS ADVENTURE

Hyp­not­ic voodoo beats, lush jun­gle nois­es, trop­i­cal rains, an enig­mat­ic Euro­pean Pro­fes­sor, an allur­ing female anthro­pol­o­gist… a few of the ingre­di­ents which M. Ful­ton has fash­ioned into his audio fan­ta­sy, Dreams of Rio, an engag­ing romp through the forests and sam­ba clubs of Brazil. Dreams of Rio chron­i­cles the trop­i­cal adven­tures of hero Jack Flan­ders as he treks through the mys­te­ri­ous wilds of Brazil­ian rain­forests and impos­si­ble sit­u­a­tions in his search for the Lost City. The crisp, stereo record­ings come vibrant­ly alive with lus­cious ambi­ent sound record­ed by Ful­ton and Clark on loca­tion in Brazil. Here’s a lit­tle taster…
