On this episode of News Man Weekly, Carl Hunnell checks in with Zac Hiser and Hayden Gray fresh off the rain-soaked, mud-caked madness of Inkcarceration Festival at the Ohio State Reformatory, before going over a few local news headlines from the week.
Then, we’re off to see the Wizard — or rather, the talented local cast bringing The Wizard of Oz to life at the Renaissance Theatre in Mansfield. Leah Gesouras, Jacob Poiner and Bobby Morrow join to preview the show, share their earliest Wizard of Oz memories and more.
Later, we catch up with Rusty Cates — the unmistakable voice of North Central Ohio radio — to discuss his career trajectory, highlights and what he’s been up to since leaving WMAN, including singing the National Anthem at a Cleveland Guardians game and competing with his barbershop quartet on the international stage.
