SportsBeat KC podcast: Talking NCAA Tournament and everything else with Kevin Harlan
We’ve lost the action of the NCAA Tournament, and with its cancellation we’ve also lost the event’s familiar voices.
Kevin Harlan brings energy and excitement to every event he covers, but he gets especially stoked for March Madness. Without a tournament to call, Harlan found time from his Kansas City home this week to talk about the games, some career highlights and just how the heck perhaps the nation’s busiest broadcaster manages to call all that NFL, NBA and college basketball action.
Harlan is the consummate play-by-play broadcaster. He has called games for the Kansas Jayhawks, Missouri Tigers, Kansas City Kings, Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Timberwolves. He joined Fox Sports in 1994 to call NFL games and moved to CBS in 1998. He also has spent more than 30 years covering the NBA. The Super Bowl, NCAA Tournament, NBA Playoffs are all part of Harlan’s routine.
Listen here as he speaks with The Star’s Vahe Gregorian and Blair Kerkhoff on a new SportsBeat KC podcast.
