MANSFIELD — Episode 85 of our weekly madness kicks off with Carl Hunnell railing against the Winter Olympics being held in Italy — not because he hates pasta or gondolas, but because the time difference and the internet have completely destroyed the magic.

After the usual weekend riff, the crew runs through a packed News of the Week: The Mansfield Inn is officially emptied after a vacate order; a major roundabout project is coming to Lexington-Springmill and Home roads; and a gang-related case ends in a prison sentence.

Then the show takes a sharp turn into the mysterious and fascinating: Hunnell, Zac Hiser and Hayden Gray sit down with Maddalena, a Mansfield mom of four and independent researcher/translator exploring ancient Greek biblical texts through a poetic, Hellenic lens.

She walks through how she got into the work, what separates her approach from traditional biblical scholarship and what she believes gets lost across time, translation and power.

It’s an open-minded deep dive into language, symbolism, myth, early Christianity and the kinds of interpretations that challenge what many people assume the text “has to mean.”
