Who’s On Second?

I’m very pleased to announce I’ve just launched a new podcast on the rabble podcast network called Who’s On Second? Second Life is a rich, virtual online world with a population of 1.2 million people from around the world. Everything, including non-profit storefronts, libraries, campuses, and yes, nightclubs and strip joints, is built by the folks who live a second life online. In Who’s On Second? I interview educators and activists who have discovered that a Second Life can change their first one.

My first guest goes by the name of Carolina Keats in Second Life, Carol Perryman in the real world. Carol is a Phd candidate at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information & Library Science, where she’s focussing on evidence based medicine. Meanwhile, in Second Life, she’s heading up the Health Info Island project - a professional resource for citizens, real and virtual who need help with vital life decisions.
