MANSFIELD — The 44th episode of the News Man Weekly podcast has dropped.
In this week’s episode, Mansfield Public Works Director Louis Andres discusses all things happening in city parks — from the transformation of the Sterkel Community Park for All, improvements at Middle Park, to updates on the Clearfork Reservoir and plans for that ever-elusive public pool.
It’s a return visit to the show by Andres, whose first appearance 10 months ago was one of the most-downloaded episodes in the podcast’s history. (That discussion begins at 41:36 into the podcast.)
Adam “Doc” Fox also joins us with an update on the decades-old Amy Mihaljevic cold case, including new developments in DNA testing. (That discussion begins at 13:13 into the podcast.)
Richland Source Deputy Managing Editor Carl Hunnell and the podcast team also chat about the latest on Mansfield’s $19.3 million Main Street Corridor Improvement project; Richland County’s new beekeeper-in-chief; and a public code proposal aimed at preventing urban blight.
Hunnell also previews the announcement about a big event coming up in May with Mansfield native and Iditarod musher Matthew Failor.
All of this more in this week’s News Man Weekly podcast, brought to you by Relax, It’s Just Coffee — fueling your mornings and this podcast.
