    April Fools 2008: OTCast Episode 01 -- "A Bit Chippy"

    April Fools!: This is, in fact, a PolyCast special and not the start of another podcast. Thanks to those who knew and kept this secret and to the many who have taken this in good humour.

    Were this an on-topic discussion, a comment along the lines of "the programming is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding programming" would be appropriate. Instead, "plus one" seems fitting. Be it in reverence, irreverence or somewhere in between the recurring and completely Off-Topic (OT) OTCast (OC) podcast begins its insanity today with "A Bit Chippy" (51m41s). PolyCast (PC) regular co-host Imran Siddiqui takes the lead on this panel, joined by fellow Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS) staff members Ming and rah along with ACS community member notyoueither.

    Like its adaptations of some of its siblings' segments, OC's release schedule will be more relaxed by following a recurring as opposed to a bi-weekly pattern that PC and ModCast (MC) do. ACS Chief Owner/Administrator Daniel "DanQ" Quick makes a cameo. Ming and rah have previously guested on PC while, like Siddiqui, Quick is one of that show's regulars. Guest co-host possibilities will begin to be entertained in the near future to add to the format's entertainment value.

    ACS is the only known website to produce its own Civ -- and now 'but-not-Civ' -- podcasts.

      Whether or not the splintering of Apolyton's "Off-Topic" forum was a good idea. Should the 'History', 'Technology' and 'Sports' sub-forums be folded back (or a combination thereof)? Then, the ever polarizing issue of the federal 2008 United States Election.

      Guessing the name of a movie that a particular co-host put to the Apolyton community (hint #2, #3 and #4).

      The heated debate over private schools in California and buying titles in Sealand. Striking down blasphemy laws in then raised.

      Amongst other oddities, how and why in the world would this show be claimed in the name of the Governor General of Canada.

      How can you call this OTcast when you don't include any notable OT posters?
      "The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

            I would not be opposed in participating in an OT Cast, provided I get veto power if it's only filled with people lacking any personality as this one seems to be.

              Do you have the Siddiqui guy in some sort of sweat shop making all these Modcasts and OTFCasts and Polycasts for you?

              I also find the outline of this podcast "a bit creepy."

                "Approval" from Asher and Wiglaf in record time ... I pronounce the newest Polycast to be a success already

                  You couldn't pay me to listen to Imran, Ming, Rah, Dan, and NYE talking together. Good God.

                    "A Bit Creepy" would be a good name for the OTcast series.

                            I'm not actually interested in this that much, but thanks for taking the OT stuff out of the Pod/Mod-casts.

                              Right?
                              Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
                              The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
                              The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila
