Katching Up With Krissy is a podcast where host Krissy Hetherington shares about her journey as a student-athlete and as someone navigating the sports media industry. As a journalist, her goal with this podcast is to provide a space for other athletes to share their journeys or allow other passionate sports people to share their takes on what’s going on around the world of sports.
Episode 1: Interview with Nico Parham
On today’s episode, host Krissy Hetherington had the chance to sit down with Niko Parham as he shared his story about being recruited to play football at APU. However, right as he was able to begin training with the team, the school cut the program. While the details about this decision have been shared before, here is a chance for Niko to tell his story and how he has grown since the curveball was thrown his way.
Episode 2: March Madness with Ken West: A True Cinderella Story
Ken West’s final season on the APU men’s basketball team will be one he cherishes forever. Not just because it was his senior season but also because of the program’s incredible Cinderella story in March. I got the chance to sit down with Ken as he detailed each of those remarkable wins as the team chased their first PacWest tournament title and a trip to the West Regional championship game.
Episode 3: WNBA Draft & the Future of Women’s Basketball
On today’s episode, I sat down with Kayden Casey to talk about Monday’s WNBA Draft and our thoughts about the current spotlight on the game of women’s basketball. Casey, who is a former APU women’s basketball player and aspiring sports journalist, shared some of her thoughts on what to expect from the Indiana Fever after selecting all-time leading scorer Caitlin Clark and also how the Iowa star’s skills will translate to the pro level.
