Indeed, the show is listed on iTunes. Glad you found the listing, and that you're subscribed and tuning in. I can see that there have been 7 most favourable reviews to date; last time I checked a month or so ago, there were 5.

Are you the source of one of those reviews per chance? Hope you're enjoying the show.

If someone creates a thread with a list of all the episodes (or at least the ones which include Civ5)...

Could this thread be one that is closed to replies, and instead links to individual threads for episode discussion?

Whatever you want. You then couldn't edit it, and would have to go on the nerves on a mod to add the new episodes, but i don't consider this a problem.
Problematic is rather getting a list, because i do not really have an overview about where, how, what exactly etc..

I've kept a record of PolyCast episode thread addresses here on CFC. I'm thinking of having such a thread index stored in the "Colosseum" forum here, particularly if we're considering a full listing as they're historically predominately CivIV-based, of late CivV-dominated but also a smattering of other Civ titles in part at times too.
