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!

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 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.
