Brad Spirrison, the Sun-Times' Technology columnist, talks about WSCR's B&B and Cubscast today:

----------------------------------------

Internet radio hits

No "crappin'," but the Boers and Bernstein radio show on 670 the Score last month delivered an Internet hit with its Tournament of Bad. Modeled after the NCAA tournament and its 65-team bracket, the contest asked viewers to vote online to advance issues that truly irritate them. Page views quadrupled and "Web traffic is through the roof," said program director Mitch Rosen. Taking home the tournament crown were "people who use Bluetooth when not driving."

Rogers Park-based Sportscasts LLC today airs its 500th Cubscast.com podcast and welcomes Cubs play-by-play man Len Kasper to commemorate the occasion. Founder Andrew Figgins said the site also will debut community features for fans to interact online while watching the games.
