Fan-based show is the world's most popular sports fan-produced podcast, beating out the likes of ESPN, Baseball America and Nike. Chicago, IL (PRWeb) February 1, 2007 -- Bearscast, part of the Chicago Sportscast Network, is a brilliant way to follow the newest Super Bowl Shufflin' Crew, the 2006 Chicago Bears, all the way to Miami and Super Bowl XLI.

The success of the team, and the loyal listeners of this unconventional podcast (internet radio show), have made it the most popular independent sports podcast online today. For the month of January, Bearscast notched over 150,000 downloads of their audio episodes, which are totally free for anyone to download or stream via iTunes or the Bearscast website (http://www.bearscast.com).

The 30-45 minute Bearscast episodes are hosted by Chicago residents and die-hard Bears fans Craig Aichele, Ramsin Canon and John Fitzgerald, who each mix in their own brand of quirky humor with in-depth analysis, predictions, debates, contests, interviews and more year-round.

Bearscast host Ramsin Canon credits the success of the show with displaced football fans around the world, saying, "Podcasts are great, because unlike regular sports radio, you can listen on-demand from anywhere in the world. Even Bears fans who may have the extreme misfortune of living in Indianapolis can tune in to our show and avoid hearing about Peyton Manning's 32 TV commercials."
