Looks like Zynga has decided to kill the podcasts.
Sad news indeed, that like 15 seconds worth of actual news was worth it.

So Should we here at FVNation Fill the gap left by this announcement?
Would you listen to a Fvnation Podcast?
Time for another podcast folks! As usual, it's a whole lot of nothing and a few cool "coming soon" things.
Here's the link if you like Lexilicious's delicious vocal stylings:

And if you're bored by the whole listening bit, here's what we thought were the most interesting tidbits:
Happy farming!

Tonights podcast:
Important things:
1.) Lexi tells us how to use the pot of gold – *Again there is only one page of prizes*
2.) England Countryside is still "Coming Soon"
3.) Spring Garden – We gotta build it and can be harvested for eggs and flowers.
4.) Mardi Gras next theme – New and Old items *Check out our Unreleased Mardi Gras Images* http://www.fvnation.com/2011/03/unreleased-for-march-3rd/
The new podcast is live and here's what was mentioned in the 'coming soon' section:
* There will be a 'new exciting way' to play the game, it will be a 'jolly good' adventure
* new buildable Glass House (check banner above for the image) will allow you to breed special masterable crops " This three-stage expandable building will allow you to breed your own special crops that can be mastered. Each stage will unlock more breeding trays so you can create even more hybrid seeds."
Could this be related to an 'English countryside farm' that we mentioned a few times ago last year? Check out an ancient post we made about a survey asking farmers about the idea of a English Countryside Farm . We'll have to wait and find out this week what the new game feature will be all about.
The newest Farmville podcast posted for your enjoyment.

The Highlights:
No Lexi this week or next, some gravely sounding fella is doing it. The important parts below
"We also have a few more Halloween goodies in store. Save those Halloween candies for the Halloween Candy Basket, because soon you’ll be able to trade them for items. Of course treating is only half the fun, so you’ll also be able to trick your neighbor with cobwebs, and even turn their animals into ghosts! These can be accepted or dismissed like other neighbor actions, but will only cause visual changes if you accept them."
As part of the Halloween event, we’ll be releasing Halloween costumes for your FarmVille character. We’ll also be releasing the Feed Trough—a farm building that comes pre-built that you fill up with animal feed to attract adoptable animals to your farm!
And one last thing to mention: we’ve hinted to it on the forums today, and are pleased to announce that Tree Orchards are in the works! While we can’t share much with you today, we’d like to encourage everyone to visit the FarmVille forums and vote on the poll showcasing four tree mastery signs. We’ll be taking your opinions into consideration for the final product that will become a feature for the Orchard. That’s all for this week, Farmers! The next podcast will be hosted on the 22nd to bring you all of the latest news and information from around the Farm.
So those neat things we found, Feed Building and Orchard and Tree Mastery are coming soon. We love being able to bring you new stuff early.

Well, first up this week is something I know our breeders will be very excited about… Nursery barn expansion will be making its way to Farmville in the coming weeks. Along with this will be a new Wild West themed Mystery Game and more Wild West items. And lastly, we will soon have new and improved Neighbor visits for all of our players. With the new visit system, you will be able to do more on your friend’s farms besides fertilizing. Soon, you will be able to plow your Neighbors fallow plots, collect from their animals and harvest their trees. When doing these actions on your Neighbors farms, you will gain coins and experience points for helping and your Neighbors will also receive the appropriate amount of XP and coins when they return.

The only real important info is quoted below
First up is a feature our community already seems very excited about. Pigpens will be making an appearance in FarmVille in the very near future. Now, Pigpens will be released in two separate phases. The first version of the Pigpens will introduce a constructible building that will offer you storage for any of those poor, homeless pigs you may have running around your farm. The second version of this update will introduce truffle hunting, a feature that will allow you to trade in truffles for new items. To gain truffles, you will have to feed your pigs slop, which can be made from bushels. Once your pigs eat their slop, they will hunt for truffles on your Neighbors Farms. These truffles can be traded for exciting new prizes, including new types of pigs!
In addition to this, I am very happy to announce that FarmVille will be doing another charitable campaign for the wonderful people of Haiti. This upcoming event will allow our users to help build a much needed school for the children of Haiti, and there will be opportunities for players to participate to this noble cause without having to pay money. The FarmVille Community Team will be providing more information about this campaign in the coming weeks, so please make sure to stay tuned for updates.
Exciting isnt it, new pigs? Maybe we can get some more piglets?
