PolyCast "The First 50": Moments Never Heard Before Help yourself to an AD-FREE life


The longest running PolyCast production is its self-titled podcast on Civilization strategy. Join regular co-hosts Daniel "DanQ" Quick, Makahlua, Imran Siddiqui and Annalee "Cartimandua" Barney as they reflect on the show's first 50 episodes recorded, produced and released over nearly two years running.

In so doing, they run down "The First 50: Moments Never Heard Before", a countdown of snippets that are being released to the public for the first time. In addition to an extended blooper reel, it also includes roughly several minutes worth of material from the show's unreleased pre-pilot with "DanQ", Makahlua and then regular Wouter "Locutus" Snijders who is now lead co-host on PC sibling show ModCast. This special runs 49m59s and is now available for netcasting.

PolyCast is a bi-weekly audio production of Apolyton Civilization Site (ACS) in an ongoing effort to give the Civ community an interactive voice on game strategy. To date, ACS is the only known community on the Web to produce its own Civ podcasts.

Oh no..

Well, DanQ, since no Warren Commission to clear me or no Tricky Dick to erase me, that means some of my now infamous off-color humor may make it after all


I swear I meant any/all comments in humor..but still meant them as entertainment

Thank you kindly. That's an example of the kind of feedback we love to receive!

Production on this was a long time coming (e.g. age of (some of) the clips) and a bit more... involved than your standard episode, or even special; I'm pleased that it's coming across as entertaining for listeners as I hoped it would and believe it does.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete


Just got round to listening to this one. I have to admit it took me a while to work out which bits were the 50 moments and which were you guys commenting on it. Nevertheless, I think I got there eventually and even laughed along with Imran in the end . . . now that freaked me out

You really have produced a extra big load of PolyCast goodness over the summer. I salute you

Oh. I had hoped and thought the pauses between the end of comments and the actual moments, combined with the "half-beeps" to separate the end of moment on the list and the resumption of commenting, worked well for this purpose.

Perhaps longer pauses in any future such specials for I felt and still feel a beep or even "half-beep" at the beginning and the end of a moment would be a bit awkward, disrupting the flow of it all too much.

Did the pre-pilot clips and/or the bloopers, in whole or in part, freak you out as well?

I listened back again and it's not as bad as I made out; I only needed to apply a little more concentration. I normally try to work a bit while listening to PolyCast, so perhaps that's my problem!

I think I've heard you guys enough to not be surprised by them anymore That said, the pre-pilot snippets did make it clear how far you've come in two years: there's a markedly better balance and atmosphere now
