MANSFIELD — It’s not our fault. The News Man Weekly podcast crew was worn out from the weekend.
Episode 77 of News Man Weekly opened with a lively debrief of an absolutely chaotic football weekend — high school playoffs in Canton, fallout from the Ohio State loss and the usual round of NFL overreactions.
From there, Carl Hunnell launches into a full holiday-season meltdown, delivering a rant about being trapped in an office drowning in Christmas music.
This week’s edition of “What’s Carl Watching?” features his brutally honest review of “The Abandons” on Netflix and a far more enthusiastic rundown of his Top 5 Westerns of all time.
Zac Hiser mentions some of his favorites and Hayden Gray admits he hasn’t see one.
In local news, Hunnell highlights major movement on the long-blighted West Park Shopping Center, which has finally transferred to a local buyer with hopes for brownfield-funded revitalization.
He also recaps Mansfield’s latest Queen of Hearts winner — a life-changing jackpot and a packed Brickyard celebration that brought a jolt of energy to downtown.
The episode’s guest is Kelsey Cunning, the organizer behind Mansfield’s successful effort to bring backyard chickens back to city limits.
She joins the show to discuss how the campaign came together, what changed City Council’s minds this time around and what comes next before the ordinance officially takes effect in 2026.
Grab a cup of Relax, It’s Just Coffee and settle in for lucky episode number 77.
