There’s nothing like a great postseason run. Relive the twists and turns of the Cubs curse-breaking 2016 World Series campaign: game-by-game, controversy-by-controversy, heartbreak and triumph, all culminating in the most epic Game 7 ever.
Matt Spiegel (670 The Score) and Roy Wood Jr. (Daily Show) are joined by Cubs legends and celebrity superfans to talk about what the run meant for the city of Chicago, the Cubs faithful -- and everyone around the country who stayed up late during that rain delay.
This podcast is not just for Cubs fans, but for anyone who wants to revisit fall of 2016 and be reminded of a moment when baseball showed us how magical a great run can be.
“The Run” will be a really fun ride.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
Loved to relive the 2016 World Series run. I recently binged the podcast on a road trip and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Besides the good memories, it provided lots of laughs.
Oh so great
This podcast was an absolutely great way to relive the best World Series ever played! Thank you! I just finished the last episode and could start it over and listen to it all over again!
Montero?
Good production but discussing G1 of the NLCS and not mentioning the biggest home run in Cubs’ history is inexcusable.
