Episode 62 of News Man Weekly kicks off with Carl, Zac and Hayden swapping stories from opening night of high school football — the first time in decades Carl wasn’t on the sidelines. Alongside the laughs and riffs, the team covers the week’s big local headlines, including arrests in the Ja’Myrion Hobbs murder case, a packed Heart of the City Cruise-In and Lexington’s $500,000 safety corridor project.
This week’s guests bring both creativity and advocacy to the studio. Mansfield Playhouse artistic director Doug Wertz joins the show to preview the theater’s 100th season and its opening comedy Moon Over Buffalo, plus updates on a $7.5 million capital campaign for a new facility.
Later, longtime attorney and community advocate Eric Miller sits down to discuss his history of tackling Mansfield infrastructure issues — from potholes and water mains to his latest focus on the Clear Fork Reservoir. It’s a mix of news, entertainment and conversation you won’t find anywhere else.
