MANSFIELD — Heat. Hip Hop. Headers.

All this week on Episode No. 104 of the News Man Weekly podcast.

The show starts with host Carl Hunnell warning everyone complaining about the heat this week that winter is not that far away.

He, Zac Hiser and Hayden Gray then welcome resident soccer expert Adam “Doc” Fox into the studio for a lively World Cup discussion.

We talk about knockout stage scenarios and debate whether this year’s U.S. men’s team has what it takes to make the deepest tournament run in program history.

We also catch up on another busy week of local news, including a $5 million boost for the Downtown Forward redevelopment project. 

Later, we sit down with Ryan James — who is behind the Cypher City Hip Hop Festival, returning July 25 to the Richland County Fairgrounds.

James talks about how the festival has grown into one of the region’s premier celebrations of hip hop culture, what’s new this year, why Mansfield’s music scene continues to evolve and which local artists deserve a spot on your playlist.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or simply curious about the scene, this conversation offers a fresh look at one of Richland County’s most unique annual events.
