RevCast Episode 01: "Quite Q-Less"

[DanQ]

Time to give the consoles some loving. Annalee "Cartimandua" Barney leads Joe "joebreeves" Reeves and Alexander "Alexander I" Strub as regular co-hosts on RevCast (RC), the newest Civilization podcast on the PolyCast (PC) network from Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS). Focusing on Civilization: Revolution on its various platforms, this show is to be published monthly with episodes ~15 minutes apiece.

Accompanying this series announcement is the release of RevCast's first episode, "Quite Q-Less", with a cameo by PolyCast co-founder, lead co-host and editor Daniel "DanQ" Quick. In kick-off of this new series, this episode runs 19m59s which is 33% longer than subsequent episodes are to be. Further to this launch, RC's second episode is to arrive in just two weeks' time featuring its first guest co-host; afterwards, the next 10 episodes are to be published monthly with a total of 13 expected for the 2009 calendar year.

RevCast is the second spin-off of the Civ strategy-centric PolyCast on which Barney serves as a regular co-host as well; the modding-centric ModCast was the first such spin-off. Unlike either of its older siblings, RC has no defined segment categories. To date, ACS is the only known community on the Web to produce its own Civ podcasts.

Looking forward to a full hour.

If you listen to the first four episodes, or any four episodes for that matter, in a row (once they're available), that will give you an hour of show or more.
