Customer Reviews
Must have for Cubs fans
Lou, Sheps, and Sneetch bring a unique twist to being a Cubs fan – comedy and occasional moments of rational thinking. As the seasons wear on and the misery of yet another season lost in the cursed annals of time, this trio of hosts highlights the highs and lows in inventive ways. Whether it’s reciting words from a dictionary, singing/rapping, or reciting haikus – you are guaranteed to lose a little of the sting from the most recent Cubs loss.
Super Information
If you are a Cubs fan from afar as I am (in NC), this is a long overdue medium. Sheps, Lou, and Sneetch are not only informed baseball analysts (they would probably laugh at that but it is true...) but they are real fans who are entertaining and funny. I don't get to see every game on TV and am forced to catch up with the Cubs often just through box scores and highlights. Cubscast has been a WONDERFUL addition to that and a good way to tie everything together. The frequency and detail in the casts are something I look forward to every time, and they keep me well-informed about my Cubbies. You won't regret subscribing...
Great Cubs Commentary
I have been listening to this podcast since the summer of 2006, and it's the only Cubs podcast that I listen to. The hosts have very good insight to the team and are overall fun to listen to.
