The News Man Weekly Podcast is brought to you by our friends at Relax, It’s Just Coffee!

MANSFIELD — We are less than two weeks into a new year and the news cycle is unrelenting.
In episode 80 of the News Man Weekly podcast, Carl Hunnell and the gang dive/sprawl/stumble headfirst into a veritable potpourri and hodgepodge of topics.
The Source Media deputy managing editor breaks down the long-awaited sale of the former West Park Shopping Center, now back in local hands after years of neglect.
Hunnell also provides an update on a major development in the double homicide investigation of former Ashland dentist Spencer Tepe and his wife Monique in Columbus. That’s followed by updates on redevelopment plans for the former YMCA site on Park Avenue West.
Once they finish chewing on those topics — and the ongoing NFL playoffs — Source Media digital marketing director Adam “Doc” Fox climbs down from the mountain to join us as this week’s guest.
An avid mountaineer and outdoorsman, Fox recounts his recent solo trip to New York to hike the notoriously brutal Devil’s Path.
As a highpointer who has reached the highest peak in all lower 48 states, Fox also reflects on some of his most difficult adventures; the mindset required for solo hikes; his advice for beginners; and why climbing Mount Everest isn’t necessarily the pinnacle people imagine it to be.
