As mentioned on today’s episode, we are inviting everyone out there to participate in a brand new Cubscast contest.

For the second year in a row Santa has asked us to help him determine which current or former Cubs players and personnel have been naughty or nice in 2007 and we need your help!

To enter, call the Cubscast voicemail box at 312-239-0179 and let us know who’s been naughty and who’s been nice. Don’t forget to leave your first name and the city/state you’re calling from!

Contest ends Friday December 21st. Two first prize winners, chosen by the Cubscast hosts based on humor and originality, will be announced on our special upcoming holiday episode on Christmas Eve. Santa guarantees these prizes are cool…but hey, it’s hard to trust a guy that claims he sees elves everywhere.

Thanks for participating and good luck!

p.s. feel free to check out last year’s holiday episode — we played several great contest entries towards the end of the episode.

In honor of the Cubs’ first trip to the postseason since we started Cubscast, we wanted to give listeners everywhere a chance to do the talking for a change, and win a prize.

All you have to do to be eligible is give us a call anytime after any Cubs playoff game on the Cubscast Listener Hotline at 312-239-0179, and then tell us the following:

1. Your first name and where you’re calling from
2. If the Cubs won the game, who was the team’s MVP for the game and why?
   or
   If the Cubs lost the game, who was the team’s “goat” for the day and why?

Placing a call to the Cubscast Listener Hotline is just like calling your grandma in Indiana, standard long distance charges may apply if you live outside of Chicago, but there are, of course, no additional fees. Oh, but unlike your grandma, please feel free to call us anytime, day or night.

We plan on giving away a prize to one random caller who leaves us a message after each round of the playoffs. To find out if you won, just listen to the cast following the end of the NLDS, NLCS and dare we say it, World Series, and we’ll announce the winner.

We look forward to hearing from you and even playing some of your messages on the air. Good luck, and Go Cubs!

Today we’re introducing a new Plug Us feature on our website, and to kick it off we’ve created a brand new contest that we encourage everybody out there to participate in. First prize is an iPod nano and we also have additional prizes including an iPod shuffle!

Interested? Here’s how to enter:

1. Add any of the new banners from our new Plug Us page to your website, blog, or public MySpace profile page and send an e-mail to hosts (at) cubscast.com to let us know when it’s up.
2. Leave the Cubscast banner and link up for at least 10 consecutive days in September 2007 and you’ll be entered into a random drawing for a brand new iPod nano.

That’s it! Winner will be announced on Monday October 15, 2007. To sweeten the deal, we’ll mention sites that enter the contest on the show during the month of September. In addition, the site that drives the most traffic our way in September will win an iPod shuffle and a special mention on the show, and the site that drives the least traffic also wins a special mention on Cubscast.

Be sure to check out the Official Plug Us Contest Rules. We hope this is a fun way to show your support of our show and also have a chance to win some great prizes in the process. Good luck to everyone that participates!
