Unfortunately, the FarmVille podcast for the week of the 30th has been canceled. We were hoping to get it released today, however the FarmVille team is still dealing with various technical difficulties and internal issues that are conflicting with our podcast releases.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and we are aware the Podcast releases have been a little off schedule.
