The seventh episode of the show again featured all three hosts, this time with two special guests. Lars Bakken returned to co-host for the second time, alongside [[Tyson Green]], another multiplayer designer. The group of five talked about [[Forge]], Halo 3's multiplayer map editor, discussing how fun it was, how easy it was to use, and what kind of impact it had on gameplay, as well as how the Halo 3 multiplayer community would potentially use Forge to create completely unforseeable content for the game.

The eleventh episode of the Bungie Podcast guest starred Bungie's [[Dave Dunn]], who told all about events in Bungie History from ten years ago to today. In it, [[Alex Seropian]] is bashed, Chris Carney is mocked, and many other interesting stories are told, but overall, the Halo 3 news was very minimal, if non existant. Paul Bertone did return to host the NFL Minute. During that, the results of Luke Smith's and Bertone's first match of Smith's 'Beat The Designer' Challenge were discussed.

The thirteenth episode of the Bungie Podcast featured Frank and Luke talking to Marty O'Donnell for an hour. They talked about the recent release of the Halo 3: Original Soundtrack, as well as the early days of Bungie, including Marty's time as a contractor working on Myth and Myth II with [[Jason Jones]] and Alex Seropian before the sale to Microsoft. He also talks about how Microsoft bought Bungie ten days after Marty was officially hired as part of the Bungie team. They also touch briefly on audio setups and how the original Xbox was the only last generation console to feature real-time 5.1 Dolby Digital Decoding. In addition, Marty brings up the fact that he still possesses the audio files from the cutscenes for the originally planned ending for Halo 2. They announce a preliminary plan to have a special Podcast in which the files will be aired.

The fourteenth episode of the podcast featured long awaited guest [[Harold Ryan]], formerly a Test Manager at Microsoft Game Studios and currently the Studio Manager of Bungie Studios. They talked about the differences between operating under Microsoft and free from Microsoft's rule, as well as the future of Bungie Studios as a whole, although few details were revealed. They also talked about Harold's past Everquest addiction and his love for MMORPG's. There was also a slight discussion about Frank's creation of a World of Warcraft character named "Man Chowder" who was banned for breaking the game before he had gotten past Level One.
    After awhile, Harold got back to work and Paul Bertone was once again welcomed onto the Podcast where they discussed Luke's hairdo, which was done up in such a way as to pay up for a bet made on the eighth episode of the show. They also talked at length about sports, specifically playoff football, before the show finally ended just under an hour after it began.
