Targetted towards all players, RevCast (RC) is designed to first entertain and second inform Civilization on the console platform in an audio format. The aim in so doing is to be energetic and interactive in equal measures. This series is marketed and distributed as a podcast. As defined on Wikipedia, podcasting is a method of distributing multimedia files over the Internet using syndication feeds (e.g. RSS for playback on mobile devices and computers). RC productions can be accessed with or without the use of RSS.

GUESTS
Having one or more guest co-hosts per episode is standard practice on RevCast as it is on PolyCast, a valued carryover from the latter's first season, and ModCast.
HISTORY
RevCast (RC) is the console-centric production that launched in February 2009 as the second spin-off of the strategy-centric PolyCast which itself had begun in October 2006. Past regular co-hosts are Annalee "Cartimandua" Barney (6 episodes), Alexander "Alexander" Strub (6 episodes), Joe "joebreeves" Reeves (18 episodes), Grayson "Grayson" Middlebrook (9 episodes), Rob "theheadless 10" (7 episodes), Brett "TyShine" Ferguson (3 episodes), Ty "REDAF" (2 episodes) and Mike "dukeblue1987" (8 episodes).
With modding-centric ModCast having been launched in January 2008, RC is the second youngest program on the PolyCast network ahead of TurnCast (launched June 2011) and SivCast (launched January 2012. Its first season order of 13 episodes during the 2009 calendar year was realized, and then some, with a total of 16 episodes being produced. RC's second season began in January 2010 with a 13-episode order, ultimately yielding 9; the length of each episode was also doubled from ~15 to ~30 minutes. Its third season, which ran from January-December 2011, had a 12-episode order which it fulfilled. The fourth season, which ran throughout the 2012 calendar year, has a 6-episode order and ultimately yielded one more than that. Its fifth season also has a 6-episode order.
