Will Ross here, welcome to The Traveling Avatar's Quick and Dirty Tips for a Better Second Life. On this show we discuss tips and tricks for the game Second Life, created by Linden Labs.

Today's episode: Exploring other podcasts about Second Life.

It's OK, really. I understand that our relationship is important to you, and yet you find yourself wanting more. You're still young, you have a lot of listening you want to do, and though you love our five to 10 minutes a week together, you want to see other podcasts.

Well, lucky for you I'm a progressive, modern guy, and I'm completely comfortable if you want to explore other shows. In fact, just between us, I've been listening to a few myself. I know, scandalous, right? Today on the show, we can share a couple of my favorite Second-Life-related podcasts.

The first show I'm going to talk about is Second Life Under the Radar, hosted by Radar Masukami. Second Life Under the Radar is one of those podcasts that's difficult to describe because it runs from op-ed style opinion show, to panel discussion, to soundseeing tours where he and his friends explore sims together and discuss what's happening live. Radar and his guests talk about their adventures, as well as current goings on in world, but what really appeals to me is Radar's rants.

Radar speaks his mind not only regarding the game designers, which, let's face it, anyone can do, but also about people he knows and other in-world personalities. I've noticed that many Second Life podcasts I've listened to pull their punches unless they're talking about Linden Labs, so the way Radar says whatever is on his mind (sometimes dealing with the consequences later) is refreshing and makes for a great listen.
