Ah very good.
This might do wonders for turnout at the site! 
The casts are very well produced.

Awesome! It's amazing PolyCast got nominated in no less than two categories over much, much bigger podcasts -- e.g. our biggest competitor in the Best Produced category, the Totally Rad Show, had in the millions of downloads in 2007 compared to about twelve thousand for PolyCast -- and they record in a purpose-built studio with half a million dollars worth of equipment, compared to PolyCast's crummy USB headsets which combined between the 4 regular co-hosts probably cost little more than $150. Just goes to show that all those hours Dan spends in post-production are good for something after all
Thanks for all the nominations, and don't forget to vote every day starting Thursday! Winning would not only be a great reward for all the good work Dan, Imran, Maki and Cartimandua are doing, but it may also help a bit to bring some new people to our site, which would be good everyone -- even those that don't like PolyCast

For those with NoScript running make sure you allow the site access, or else quite a bit is missing from the page making you unable to vote. BTW, voted!

Well, I finally went to vote, and I did as requested. OTOH, I also linked to the URL of Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, and ...
OMFG, it is AWESOME! I have now defected (in the best produced category), and will be voting for it in the future.
Of course, it is produced every two months, not every week, so some consolation for that may be considered.

First let me say that besides being somewhat of a History buff myself, I am always interested to come across other well-produced podcasts. I will take a listen or two myself in the coming weeks. That said, it's not in the running for the "Best Produced" category so you can't vote for it there.
Therefore you can continue to vote for PolyCast in "Best Produced", and "Gaming", and vote for that show in its own respective category as you like.

Doh! I suppose that "Education" is NOT the same as "Best Produced."
I'm very grateful for this competition, since it led me to more podcasts of
