PolyCast Episode 13: "Set to Vibrate"
 Apolyton Civilization Site`s ( ACS) official podcast aims to shake off the superstition surrounding the number of its newest instalment. In addition to `News` and `Modcast` the `Senate`, `Mailbag` and `Vault` segments are featured in its thirteenth episode, " Set to Vibrate". Co-hosted by Daniel "DanQ" Quick, Wouter "Locutus" Snijders, Imran Siddiqui, Makahlua and guest co-host Rich "Provost Harrison" Harrison, total runtime is 56m:11s (26.9MB).
PolyCast is a bi-weekly, roughly one-hour production in an effort to give the Civilization community now an interactive voice. Contributing greatly to the show`s interactive capability are means to call-in via Skype, telephone and email the co-hosts your questions or comments about Civ the game, community, or the show and Apolyton itself.
ACS is the first and to date only known Civ fansite to produce its own podcast.

You must not have listened to this episode... yet. 
We're referring to Barry Caudill, Senior Producer at Firaxis ( http://www.firaxis.com/company/bios.php?bioid=20).

I'm actually the executive producer now but I am still producing individual titles as well. I guess we need to update the website since I've been the EP for over a year now...

That's a bit of nostalgia from my days as the QA Manager. I was originally intended to act as a speed bump (read buffer zone) between the fans and the developers. Sort of the first line of defense for tracking down issues and dealing with them early. Is there a way to change my name without losing my start date and other settings?
Thanks,
-Barry

Ahh, the good old days. I believe you were in charge of QA during PTW and Conquests, right?
If you send me a PM, I'll take care of changing your name too

I first learned to type on a Soviet typewriter, which was very much not QWERTY

D'oh! Sorry, Barry. Besides the fact that you said so in the recording itself  , I only now remember you making that correction while being introduced at ApolyCon '06 last summer too.

I'll refer to Jon and Solver's note above for the direct answer  , but in the interim at least I've modified your custom title to note you as "Executive Producer" at Firaxis.

Actually it's quite fun to imagine people in firaxis using their poly nicknames to refer to each other.

Lucky I censored some of them
And you have no way of knowing what it says, because only one word is a noun and the two others are names.
It's an online arab-hebrew dictionary.
I'm sure you can put it to good use

That's how a lot of people knew me for a while when I was here. I'm now pretty much just "Jon" at this point though.
