MANSFIELD — You gotta bear with us folks. Episode No. 84 of the News Man Weekly podcast is a jam-packed episode.
It opens with our resident curmudgeon, Carl Hunnell, unloading on this year’s Super Bowl game and fans who only pay attention to the NFL one game a year.
From there, the crew of Hunnell, Zac Hiser and Hayden Gray riffs on a busy winter week, sports chaos, the latest show Hunnell is watching (hint: It’s about surviving alone in the wilderness) and we attempt to talk Olympic curling.
Then, it’s the kind of headlines that make Mansfield feel like it’s permanently stuck between snow banks and construction cones — a massive barn fire fought in sub-zero temperatures, skyrocketing fire truck costs squeezing city budgets and new momentum around a potential public pool.
Then, we throw open the podcast studio doors to members of the soon-to-launch Delaware Source — Brittany Schock, Taylor Henninger and Jack Slemenda. They join the show to talk about covering one of Ohio’s fastest-growing counties and what excites them most about reporting in a rapidly changing community.
Finally, Richland County Commissioner Tony Vero and Wayfinders Executive Director Miles Parsons join us to talk about what’s happening at the Mansfield Inn motel. The building has been deemed structurally deficient and unsafe and it must be vacated by Friday.
Vero and Parsons tell us what they found when they were on location last week and how they’re working to relocate residents and animals inside the building. We dig into what happens next and what it says about housing, accountability and crisis response in the area.
