For joy in the world. The 2009 PolyCast Christmas Special is now netcasting. "'Tis the Time for Civving" brings together a number of regular co-hosts across the label's three shows: Daniel "DanQ" Quick, Makahlua and Philip "TheMeInTeam" Bellew from PC, Wouter "Locutus" Snijders from ModCast and both Joe "joebreeves" Reeves and Matt "elthrasher" Morgan from RevCast.

PolyCast is a bi-weekly audio production in an ongoing effort to give the Civ community an interactive voice on game strategy; it has one more episode to be released as its season finale, a composite of archived segments. Sibling show ModCast focuses on Civ modding and RevCast focuses on Civilization: Revolution. All three shows have been renewed for a return to production in 2010 which are to be its fourth, third and second seasons respectively.
