Dipping into the archives thrice. The one-hundred-and-first episode of PolyCast, "Not Just a Lame Clip Show III", features regular co-hosts Daniel "DanQ" Quick, "Makahlua", Philip "TheMeInTeam" Bellew, Lisa "qnl" Bang with 12 others overall in the show's third composite collection of archived segments that were originally cut due to time constraints.

PolyCast is a bi-weekly audio production in an ongoing effort to give the Civ community an interactive voice on game strategy; sibling show ModCast focuses on Civ modding and RevCast focuses on Civilization: Revolution.

Wow I'm surprised you pulled my workshop growth idea off the forums. I enjoy playing with the idea in my version of Civ. It does need some retuning for overall balance, but by having very slow growth times it does give them a bit more oomph in the early part of the game.

Anyways I enjoy the episodes and it was treat to hear you discuss my topic.
