    PolyCast Episode 09: "Strategies Involved"

    The ninth episode of Apolyton Civilization Site`s (ACS) official podcast is now available for listening on-demand. In addition to `News` and `Modcast`, segments featured in this edition are `Senate`, `Research Lab`, `Time Machine` and a very special `Mailbag` in "Strategies Involved". Co-hosted by Daniel "DanQ" Quick, Imran Siddiqui, Makahlua and guest Blake, total runtime is 58m00s (27.1MB).

    PolyCast is a bi-weekly, roughly one-hour production in an effort to give the Civilization community now an interactive voice. Contributing greatly to the show`s interactive capability are means to call-in via Skype, telephone and email the co-hosts your questions or comments about Civ the game, community, or the show and Apolyton itself.

    ACS is the first and to date only known Civ fansite to produce its own podcast.

      Ok, that was actually the first time I heard the response to the wrong number message.

      I'm giving it a 10 based on that. I think that dude was stoned!

        That bloke was a Brummie, they all talk slow and stupid.
        One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

              I’m hard to please. But stoned callers are good enough for me.

              I give it an 8.

              By the way are you guy’s thinking up of any schemes to get people to leave more/any voice mail?
              I'm not buying BtS until Firaxis impliments the "contiguous cultural border negates colony tax" concept.

                Well... there was a contest announced in Episode 08 that no one has yet to follow-up on... other suggestions are welcome.

                    Do you mean the logo? It's functional and I like it fine, but constructive alternatives are welcome to be submitted.

                      Does that mean if I phone in for Episode 10 I'll get a prize? Or has the “wrong number guy” got it already?

                        Well you could announce a +10/20/50/100/200 post count increase for anyone that gets on air? I mean there are some people who are willing to spam dozens of boring messages for just a few +1. You could increase the number of people listening to the show as well. Two birds with one stone.

                          You have to do more than call in. There's a specific question to be answered related to the... content of Episode 08.

                            Listening to this podcast for the errant phone call, I must protest Imran's anti-Mac stance. There is only ONE reason I have had a PC since 2001: to play civ! For all other computer uses, I use a Mac.
