[DanQ]

Have a question, comment or two about the Civilization V expansion pack Brave New World being released this week? Looking to win a copy of this latest Civ series title for yourself or a fellow gamer? Firaxis Games Senior Producer Dennis Shirk and Principal Programmer Ed Beach are to be on-hand for the first hour of the recording of Episode 178 of the PolyCast podcast this Saturday, July 13th starting at 12PM ET (North America).

You can listen in and interact with the representatives from Civ's developer as part of the live audience through the show's chat room or by calling in: five copies of Brave New World, in the form of Steam codes, are to be given away during the recording to those who do so. In addition to Shirk and Beach, three members of Firaxis Frankenstein Test Group -- two of whom are PolyCast regular co-hosts -- are to be present as well as a freelance strategy games writer and aficionado who reviewed BNW for the industry.
