In 2008, Kevin Matthews, a well-known ABC and CBS radio personality in Chicago, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. As the drive-time radio host for 17 years and also the voice of his sports commentator, Jim Shorts, and other characters, Matthews entertained 10 million listeners weekly, sold out every appearance in the Midwest, and performed in front of 65,000 fans at Grant Park. He traveled around the world, met the famous, had babies named after him, and helped countless charities. He entertained hundreds of thousands of people inside prisons, army bases, and backyards. His promotions included comedy jams, a band, barbeque throw-downs, and golf outings.
Broken Mary is Matthews' story of his early years in radio and stand-up comedy, his successful career, his struggle with MS, his awakening to the dignity of women, and, importantly, his chance encounter with a broken statue of Mary left next to a dumpster and all that happened as a result. Told with Matthews' signature good humor, this confession of the brokenness of mankind is touchingly honest, personally inspiring, and full of hope.
This audiobook was read by the author, Kevin Matthews, and the audio engineer was Bob VanProyen.

But this was in the early 1990’s. We’ve all experienced a ton of what Life throws us since then. You could always tell Kevin was a smart guy. A thoughtful person behind the parties and pranks. Most of us were.
So now he’s on the other side of those heydays and found some new ways of connection that clearly are bringing him much joy and peace. That’s what he shares here after a fun romp through the early days.
It’s just so great to hear him tell his own story here. He’s still Kevin. And I’m still an appreciative Kevhead.
So, yeah “What are ya, goofy?” Has been updated to something more along the lines of “God is great!” And I’m happy he has found this faith that clearly sustains him these days. As well as a broken Mary that serves as a beautiful metaphor of Love to so many including this ol’ radio friend.
