The Civilization strategy-centric podcast PolyCast (PC) is currently in its ninth season and nearing its two-hundred-and-thirtieth episode. A year ago this month, the first release of an edition in its "Cut!" side series in more than four years was published; now, to mark that occasion its next episode has been released. During, and only during, the first season of PC was "Cut!" in production serving as a compilation of cut moments from episode recordings: at 23m53s, this is the companion to Episode 17 recorded almost eight years ago.

Featuring three of the four original regular co-hosts Daniel "DanQ" Quick, Wouter "Locutus" Snijders and "Makahlua", it was the second appearance for guest co-host Rich "Provost Harrison" Harrison and the first for Joe "snoopy369" Matise. Much of the conversation extends the conversation on a Civilization III modification focusing on early Canadian history.

Beginning on October 2006, PolyCast has been a bi-weekly audio production in an ongoing effort to give the Civ community an interactive voice on game strategy; since 2011, its has been recorded live before a listening audience every other Saturday. Listeners are encouraged to follow the show on Twitter, and check out the YouTube channel for caption capability. Its two-hundred-and-twenty-ninth episode is set to be released on June 06th, 2015.
