  TurnCast Episode 45: "Five Tiles Behind"

  Halfway there. Regular players Daniel "DanQ" Quick, "Makahlua", Scott "AlphaShard" Dirk and new regular player "UberMarklar" are accompanied by fellow co-operative Civilization V multiplayer players in the forty-fifth episode TurnCast (TC) entitled "Five Tiles Behind". Now netcasting with a runtime of 09m59s snippets include unintentional proof, going there, all costs, like clockwork and forgiving permission.
  
  TurnCast is the third spin-off of the Civ strategy-centric PolyCast on which Quick and Makahlua serve as regular co-hosts; the modding-centric ModCast was the first, and the console-centric RevCast the second, such spin-off. The fourth spin-off, SCivCast, covers Civ on social media.

  The TurnCast That Wasn't: PolyCast Play-by-Play

  The TurnCast That Wasn't: PolyCast Play-by-Play

  In January 2011, TurnCast (TC) became the third spin-off of the Civilization strategy-centric PolyCast (PC) podcast to launch. It blends audio snippets from multiple record sessions of regular and guest players of initially Civilization IV and now Civilization V working together to defeat any number of Artificial Intelligence (AI) opponents. Running weekly since October 2008, they were not initially going to be used in the creation of a podcast but rather a more 'traditional' multiplayer focus on competitive play between humans. It was also to have been a PC side series beginning almost two years prior to what would become TC's ultimate arrival online.
  
  With TurnCast set to reach its fiftieth episode in its fourth season this year, the pilot of the what-could-have-been [u]PolyCast/u]'s "Play-by-Play" series has been released. Featuring to-have-been regular players Daniel "DanQ" Quick, Michael "emeseles" Lucas-Smith and guest player John "bt_oz" Archer, each recorded their thoughts aloud while the game progressed; afterwards, it was edited and post-produced by Quick. A 'before' and 'after' conversation between the three also took place.
  
  Entitled "Unification", this production carries a runtime of 75m31s. A number of factors, most notably editing and post-production time requirements, yielded a lukewarm reception between the select few who reviewed the end product which led to its shelving. This was mid-March 2009; now, five years to the day that the game this production features was played, it is being made available publicly for the first time....

  Become a RevCast Regular Co-Host

  Calling all Civilization: Revolution players: you may be just what RevCast (RC) is looking for! Last year this podcast about all things CivRev was renewed for a 6-episode sixth season. Unfortunately, those who most recently served as regular co-hosts have either decided not to return or are presently unavailable to do so. If you are interested and available to be a regular co-host on this show, reply to this forum thread with the following information:
  
  - how long you have been playing CivRev;
  - whether you play primarily, solely or a combination of single-player and/or multiplayer;
  - an account of any previous podcasting experience, if any; and
  - why you believe you would be well suited in the role.
  
  A regular panel of 3-4 hosts is being sought for RC. Recordings would take place at six different times throughout 2014 using Skype, starting as early as some point in March. A headset with microphone is required. All editing and publishing of the recordings would be managed by Daniel "DanQ" Quick who has done so for all episodes of the show to date.
  
  RevCast is the second spin-off of the Civ strategy-centric PolyCast; fellow sibling ModCast focuses on Civ modding, SCivCast on Civ social gaming and TurnCast on Civ multiplay....
