If you're a Civilization series fan and haven't blocked off the two-hour period beginning at 1PM Eastern Time (North America) on July 31, now is the time to do so. The 100th episode of PolyCast (PC), the bi-weekly strategy podcast that has been focusing on CivIV since it began, is to be the first such production to be recorded live. As first announced last month, its regular co-hosts and some guest co-hosts are to be on-air to take your questions and comments.

Now that the technical particulars have been set, you can best prepare yourself in order to be able to participate. Here's the overview for you to review:
