MANSFIELD — Episode 79 kicks off the new year the only way News Man Weekly knows how: cold, cranky and painfully honest.
Let’s face it. Winter weather doesn’t appeal to the show’s curmudgeon of a host. Christmas is over, but our Grinch remains.
From there, the crew riffs on the NFL playoff picture and host Carl Hunnell talks about the new Ricky Gervais stand-up comedy special, and then ranks his top five stand-up comedians of all time.
Hunnell and the crew then talk about recent news, including two crime cases out of Ashland and area fire departments who received grants to improve emergency communications across the county.
The episode’s featured interview brings Mansfield City Council members Cheryl Meier and David Falquette into the studio for a wide-ranging conversation to start 2026.
The two veteran lawmakers discuss the role of City Council, the biggest challenges facing Mansfield, how decisions are made behind the scenes and what residents should expect from local government in the year ahead.
