The Krista Redpath Show

From Lady Griz to Filmmaker: Megan Harrington & Broken Mary: The Kevin Matthew’s Story

This episode of The Krista Redpath Show features two dynamic conversations — first with award-winning filmmaker and proud Lady Griz Megan Harrington, followed by Chicago radio legend Kevin Matthews. Harrington, a Missoula native and Senior Producer with Family Theater Productions, reflects on her Montana upbringing, years on the Lady Griz basketball team, and her path into filmmaking. Her credits include the Emmy® and Christopher Award-winning Playing Like a Girl: The House That Rob Built, Native Ball: Legacy of a Trailblazer, and her latest release Broken Mary: The Kevin Matthews Story, produced with ODB Films and Family Theater Productions, debuting for one day only on October 7th in over 800 theatres across the US.
In the final segment, Matthews — the star of that new documentary — shares stories from his celebrated Chicago radio career, where he lit up the airwaves on WLUP “The Loop” and AM 1000 with sharp wit, unforgettable sports characters like Jim Shorts, and even helped break Pearl Jam in 1991. The Montana connection runs throughout the episode — from Harrington’s Lady Griz roots to the fact that Pearl Jam’s bassist Jeff Ament calls Missoula home.
 

Kati Burrows Mobley: Championships on the Court, Legacy at Home

From the hardwoods of Bozeman High to the bright lights of Brick Breeden Fieldhouse, few athletes have left a mark on Montana basketball quite like Kati Burrows Mobley. A hometown standout, she led the Bozeman Hawks to three state championships before becoming a Bobcat legend — piling up more than 1,528 points, 671 rebounds, ranking 3rd in career free throws made, and guiding Montana State to back-to-back Big Sky titles in the early 2000s.
Her journey didn’t stop there. Kati took her game overseas, then returned stateside to pour her passion into coaching — first in high school gyms, then back at her alma mater. As an MSU assistant coach from 2015–2020, she helped guide the Bobcats to the 2016 Big Sky regular-season championship, and in 2017, a historic sweep — winning both the regular season and the Big Sky Tournament, sending Montana State to the NCAA Tournament.
Along the way, she’s been inducted into the Montana State Athletics Hall of Fame and continues to shape lives as an educator and coach right here in Bozeman. Today, her proudest titles are wife and mom — roles she embraces with the same love, grit, and loyalty that defined her career on the court.”

Jimmy Farris: Lessons in Grit, Growth, and the Gridiron

Now a keynote speaker, author, and mentor, he shares the lessons learned both on and off the field—about developing the mindset and mental toughness to practice simple, daily habits at an extraordinary high level. In this episode of The Krista Redpath Show, Jimmy opens up about his life journey, his book,  “Be A Pro: Your Blueprint to Professional Level Achievement” and how he continues to inspire others long after his playing days.
 

Kareem Jamar - Montana Basketball Great

Kareem Jamar cemented his place as one of the all-time greats in University of Montana men’s basketball history. A versatile and dynamic leader, Jamar was the engine of the Grizzlies during back-to-back NCAA Tournament runs, making his mark as a scorer, rebounder, and facilitator who could impact the game in every way. In 2012–13, he earned Big Sky Conference MVP honors and was named an AP All-American Honorable Mention, underscoring his dominance on the court. By the time he graduated, Jamar joined an elite group of Griz legends with more than 1,600 career points, 600 rebounds, and 400 assists—a rare statistical achievement that showcased his all-around excellence.
Jamar’s path to Missoula began with a recruiting process that included visits to the University of Portland and Montana. Influenced by genuine connections with players like Will Cherry and honest advice from the late Anthony Johnson, Jamar chose the Grizzlies. His high school coaches and longtime Montana assistant Andy Hill—who worked closely with Jamar’s counselor—were instrumental in preparing him for the next level and guiding his decision to wear the maroon and silver.
Today, Jamar continues to give back to the game and the community through Montana Prolific Basketball Academy in Great Falls, MT, where he mentors and develops the next generation of athletes. He’s also expanding his vision with Terminal 360, a new gym near the Great Falls airport that will provide local kids with a dedicated basketball space, echoing the opportunities that shaped his own journey. His story is one of talent, resilience, and a lasting commitment to Montana basketball.

Danny Sprinkle - From Montana Roots to Washington Hoops

The debut episode of The Krista Redpath Show kicks off with a powerful conversation with Danny Sprinkle—former Helena High Bengal, Montana State Bobcat standout, and now head coach of the University of Washington men’s basketball program. With over 20 years of coaching experience across Cal State Northridge, Montana State, Cal State Fullerton, Utah State, and Washington, Sprinkle blends his Montana roots with a national coaching pedigree.
Krista and Danny reflect on growing up in Montana, the values of family and community, and the lasting influence of legendary coaches. Danny shares his journey from leading the Bobcats to a Big Sky Championship and Freshman of the Year honors, to building championship teams as a head coach.
The conversation also highlights a full-circle moment with his father Bill’s 2025 induction into the Montana Football Hall of Fame—tying Danny’s coaching passion back to his family legacy and the University of Washington.
Looking ahead, Danny offers candid insight into today’s evolving college basketball landscape, the impact of NIL and the transfer portal, and his belief in “UBUNTU”—that true success comes from collective achievement.
