The News Man Weekly Podcast is brought to you by our friends at Relax, It’s Just Coffee!
MANSFIELD — Episode 83 finds the News Man Weekly crew buried deep in a Mansfield February — frozen, gray and feeling a lot like Groundhog Day with worse wind chill.
The crew riffs on surviving brutal cold, charity events and a Cavs trade shakeup. From there, Carl Hunnell runs through a news cycle, including updates from the countywide mayors’ panel, developments at the former Westinghouse site and new charges in a Mansfield homicide case.
Our guests this week are Gary and Reneta Music of the Music Academy of Karate and Empowerment.
We talk with them about the discipline and philosophy of “Kata,” the role of empowerment in martial arts, the roots of karate in ancient Japanese traditions and how their downtown dojo is shaping students far beyond punches and kicks.
This episode is powered by the great folks at Relax, It’s Just Coffee.
