Don't miss
Harrison explains why a documentary about Kansas losing to Missouri can still matter as a lasting record of the Border War.
The brief
Carrington Harrison traces his path into Kansas City sports radio, beginning with the influence of Kevin Kietzman and expanding into a broader, more lived-in approach to the craft.
The pair examine sports talk as disciplined improvisation: preparation matters, but so do passion, recovery after weak segments, and resisting dependence on audience reaction.
Harrison explains the years-long making of Armageddon at Arrowhead, a documentary about the 2007 Kansas-Missouri game that aims to preserve more than its final score.
The discussion widens to a possible Precious Doe documentary and Harrison’s preference to keep building a sports-radio career in Kansas City rather than leave for filmmaking.
They debate eligibility and compensation in college sports before Harrison assesses a changing AFC West, with Denver strong on paper and the Chiefs carrying more uncertainty.
