Today we’re proud to offer listeners of Cubscast our first “premium episode,” which is available as a digital download in the Cubscast Store as well as on the right side of this post. Just so there is absolutely no confusion…Cubscast’s regular episodes each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday will always be available for free. This is an extra bonus episode, the first one we’ve ever produced of its kind, and it’s something we think listeners will thoroughly enjoy.

What makes an episode of Cubscast worth 99 cents? We aren’t entirely sure*, but we took this seriously and saw an opportunity to raise the level of production involved by including a variety of clips from the past 3 years, as well as many exclusive outtakes. To hear an audio sample, click here.

This bonus episode could be the first in a series of premium episodes — to be honest we have absolutely no idea how many listeners are going to download this episode, but either way we can’t wait to keep bringing you 3 brand new episodes every week for the rest of the season (and offseason) as the best Cubs team we’ve seen in our lifetimes continues to roll along.

In March 2005 (or even March of this year) we wouldn’t have thought trying something like this would be possible, but thanks to so many of you that have e-mailed us in the last month asking how you can support the show, we figured we’d give it a try. A major portion of any proceeds from this and any future bonus episodes will help us cover our production costs.

Thanks very much for your continued support of Cubscast, and Go Cubs!

*For the record, Sheps thinks his Vin Scully impersonation at the end of the episode is definitely worth 99 cents
