It's a win-win. The one-hundred-and-sixth episode of PolyCast, "The Perseverance Award", features regular co-hosts Daniel "DanQ" Quick, Philip "TheMeInTeam" Bellew and Lisa "qnl" Bang with returning guest co-hosts Scott "AlphaShard", Daniel "dacole" Cole, and James Robertson.

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.
