Ep 145: SimCity: The Musical

Under the Plumbob Podcast

Long before The Sims, there was... SimCity! Amateur urban developers Alley, Jess, and Julia are here to share the long and storied history of this beloved franchise that launched Will Wright, Maxis, and (eventually) The Sims!

This episode also contains the musical stylings of UTPB, featuring original songs plus:
- 'One Week' - Barenaked Ladies
- 'Godzilla' - Blue Oyster Cult
- 'My Humps' - Fergie (Julia's Space Junk Edition)
- 'We Didn't Start the Fire' - Billy Joel
