MANSFIELD — The 17th episode of the free News Man Weekly Podcast has dropped.

In this week’s edition, Richland Source City Editor Carl Hunnell is joined by Mansfield Fire Department Chief Dan Crow and retired Chief John Harsch, who remains active with the Mansfield Fire Museum.

The three men talk about the evolution of firefighting science and technology, changes in firefighting techniques and the 30th anniversary of the Mansfield Fire Museum.

Hunnell is also joined by executive producer Zac Hiser and video producer Grant Ritchey as they discuss the news of the week, including the selection of former Mansfield police Capt. Shari Robertson to fill a spot on City Council; new biometric wrist monitors in the Richland County Jail that will be used with medically at-risk inmates; and two new improvement projects underway at Liberty Park in Mansfield.

A self-confessed space geek, Hunnell also goes off on a tangent about the SpaceX launch Sunday morning that saw the successful capture of a 200-foot rocket booster.

Yeah, the News Man is weird that way.
