PolyCast On December 1st, 2015, the [i]Civilization[/i] podcast series [url=http://thepolycast.net]PolyCast[/url] launched its [url=http://www.patreon.com/thepolycast]Patreon campaign[/url] to provide a means to support its series through month-to-month financial contributions. The first, and to date only, set of changes to its offerings occured the following month. The second of these set changes is to come into effect on January 1st, 2018, and is to be the most extensive and significant to date. The changes modify the offerings of each each of the existing five pledge tiers and lower the goal amounts of each of the five tiers. Below is a summary of what is coming:

[b]TIERS[/b]
– Each tier dollar amount ($2, $5, $10, $15, $25) is unchanged.
– Each tier retains its original, exclusive benefit alongside one, two or three new ones. The new benefit shared across all tiers is a patron-only chat with one or more PolyCast regular co-hosts immediately following each live recording.
– Each tier now has a name associated with it, one reflective of a [i]Civilization[/i] player’s game experience.

[b]GOALS[/b]
– Each of the five amounts have been lowered; now starting at $50 in monthly pledges (was $75), it tops out at $200 (was $250).

This family of five podcasts, three of which are still in production, collectivly offer hundreds of hours of [i]Civ[/i] content. If you enjoy their content past, present; if you previously considered but decided against patronage, started but stopped being a patron, consider (again) [url=https://www.patreon.com/thepolycast]becoming a PolyCast patron[/url] today. For a complete listings of the pending changes, see [url=https://www.patreon.com/posts/increased-to-for-15875018]this article[/url].

One More Turn, The Sixth and Final Season: 19 Episodes in 2018

By | December 6, 2017

One More Turn The cast and crew of the [url=http://onemoreturn.net]dramedy podcast series[/url] [u]One More Turn[/u] ([u]OMT[/u]) are breaking their silence. Their plan was to publish the show’s sixth season, thirteen episodes in length, in 2017 — that plan has changed. Instead, it will be published in 2018 and extended to nineteen episodes. The reasoning behind this is in reflection of the difficult part of its delayed release: the show’s sixth season is to be its last.

Join [u]One More Turn[/u] as its geeks dealing with non-geeky problems take their final turns.
