Hi there,
Do you have a RSS feed for your podcast? Where do I find the link?
Cheers!

Sure do.

It is on the page, on the left but you have to scroll down to see it.
Also if your like me and generally browse with images turned off, you wont see the link as it's image based.
Enjoy. Next show should be this weekend.
Thanks for the review, I'm glad you liked PocketCiv, it was a fairly complicated process developing it over the course of many lunchtimes at work. It's still a work in progress, as I'm meaning to get back and fix a few things wrong with it (and add some scenarios) when I get done with my current "hobby project."
Also, as a tip, based on your report on BGG, it sounds like you are trying to build stuff too quickly. You should try and just get a good population over all of the regions in the first 3,4 or 5 turns before you start building. That will get your "population creating machine" up and working enough to start spending them on stuff and combating the events.
Also, good job on my name pronunciation! Even though it's pretty much said phonetically, people still have a problem pronouncing it on their first try, but you nailed it!
Thanks again,
Scott Slomiany
Hi Scott!
