MANSFIELD — Our grumpy old newsman planned to complain this week about mowing his jungle of a yard.
And then it snowed Sunday night, which really bothered our host and Source Media Deputy Managing Editor Carl Hunnell.
So episode 94 of the News Man Weekly starts with a very Ohio problem — snow in April and a place that refuses to fully commit to spring — before diving into a packed week of local headlines and big-picture conversations.
The show rattles through the latest developments (and pushback) on the proposed Buc-ee’s site to a major downtown Mansfield hotel redevelopment and the passing of one of Richland County’s most infamous criminal figures, Dr. John Boyle.
Plus, we’re joined by Ashland University professor John Moser before he heads to a new career role at the University of Tennessee. Moser breaks down today’s political climate through a historical lens, drawing comparisons to past global conflicts and offering insight into where the country may be headed.
Moser doesn’t hold back, either — diving into the escalating war in Iran, breaking down how President Trump’s foreign policy fits (or doesn’t) into historical precedent, and what it all means for America’s standing on the global stage.
Richland Source reporter Katie Ellington Serrao then joins the show to talk about the Source Journalism Fellowship, what it means for the next generation of local storytellers, and why civic engagement starts earlier than most people think.
