Join Designing Worlds today, Monday 6th March, as we take the second of a series of peeks into the past of Designing Worlds – and Second Life!

You can see the show here, or on the Designing Worlds Vimeo channel at https://vimeo.com/254913585.

Or you can join us for our Watch Party in the beautiful Designing Worlds studios in the Garden of Dreams, where we’ll be discussing our peep into the past – and our own Second Life memories.

In today’s episode we’ll be helped by Marianne McCann, Second Life historian, who will share with us some of the features that arrived and frictions that enraged the residents of Second Life in those years, and by Wildstar Beaumont who has ransacked his photo archive for us!

And you’ll have a chance to see extracts from those early shows, including our very first visit to the Home and Garden Expo, a glimpse of the 2008 Relay for Life builds, our very first Babbage show … and much more!

And we end with one of the most moving regions we have ever visited … and it’s still there!

Places to visit featured on today’s show:
Most of these have gone, but you can still visit New Babbage (although you’d be wise NOT to explore any tunnels that run under Clockhaven)
