Please bear with us, as PolyCast is undergoing a lot of transition at the moment, and (as you all know) the whole world is kind of in chaos right now. As such, a lot of episode postings have been delayed. We’re working to get back onto a regular schedule, including live broadcasts and prompt release of episodes on the website.
