The hiatus is over, welcome to version 2.0 of the SIMphoni Podcast! We’re a bit rusty, because it has been nearly four months since the last episode, but overall, the show went very well despite a little “technical” glitch half-way through the episode. This week we talk about the new format for the podcast, community events, the SIMphoni Mid-Term Awards, new Cities XL screenshots, Spore concept art, the SimCity Box and much more!

After weeks of silence, the SIMphoni podcast now returns! I’ve compiled a new podcast promo, which we will use to promote the podcast at other websites and hopefully attract more members to SIMphoni forums. The promo consists of several clips from some of the best segments of our previous episodes. Also, look for a new episode of the podcast to air within the next week or so, along with a few pretty significant changes to the show.

Despite my faulty microphone, which made me sound like I was broadcasting atop mount Everest, we have produced a long but excellent episode for everyone! This may be the last episode for a little while, since me and Rex will be very busy in the coming weeks. This week we talk about feedback regarding the holiday special, the new Cities Unlimited screenshot, community opinions concerning SimCity Societies, SIMphoni site statistics and of course we unveil the winners of the SIMphoni 007 Awards. We will also be needing some guests in the near future and so far we have only received one request, so please don’t be shy and feel free to email us or PM me here at the forums.
