    PolyCast Episode 11: "Full Screen Mode"

    Apolyton Civilization Site`s (ACS) official podcast marches onward with the release of its eleventh episode. In addition to 'News' and 'Modcast', the 'Senate' segment is featured in "Full Screen Mode". Co-hosted by Daniel "DanQ" Quick, Makahlua and returning guest co-host Blake, total runtime is 55m59s (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.

    Btw, Maka's comment at the beginning (about my... um... lack of preparation) caused absolutely no offense because it is 100% accurate. Just wanted to let that be known.

    I agree, please stop spamming the OTF and other sites..you have your own forum for people/masochists interested in your aural drivel.

    I meant polycast forum. As much as that forum wasted space on this site, it must return. These threads now are threating to invade the great A/C forum. This a place for questons about post stats and new smiley requests. Please leave the spamming of this forum to Heresson.

    This is the best place for these threads because in these productions Apolyton, the community... Civ... are talked about.

    Wow! Imagine that.

    I'm curious, how many people actually listen to PolyCast? Do you have any statistics on listenership?

    It's impossible to get accurate statistics on podcasts due to the way the technology works, but it's fair to say a pretty decent (and growing) portion of our community

    There's no way to count the number of downloads?

    No Or rather, we can't count all of them. Services like iTunes cache them on their own servers, as do some ISPs -- so we get exactly 1 hit from them regardless of whether zero or a million people are downloading. And then there's the fact that even now lots of people are still downloading the first couple of episodes (probably had more downloads for eps 1-5 in the last 2 months and in the first weeks after their release), so the numbers are going up every day. Either way, you should be thinking in the hundreds at least -- which is a respectable part of our community considering only about 500 people post at least once a week (see the 90k thread)... Of course, we get more and more listeners from CFC and other sites as well -- it's good to be a monopoly

    Indeed -- sad but true.

    A monopoly, you say... perhaps we can get the show bundled with future Civ titles then.

    Your problem is that PolyCast threads are spam in the Off Topic? You are *****ing about SPAM?! Where do you think you are? Is this the first week you've posted in the Off Topic?

    He has a point, though. Do we really need the announcement and the locked, topped thread?
