This week on News Man Weekly, Carl, Zac and Hayden recap another unforgettable Inkcarceration weekend and react to the festival's impact on Mansfield. The crew also counts down Carl's Top 5 favorite Moonshiners personalities before discussing the week's biggest local headlines, including a new strategic vision for Mansfield Lahm Regional Airport, the Tyger Park Takeover basketball tour and Lexington Superintendent Jeremy Secrist's departure after 15 years with the district.

Later, we welcome Scott Palmer and Jeff Nupen, co-owners of the Ohio Shine Company, Richland County's only legal craft moonshine distillery. They share how the business came together, what makes their spirits unique, the challenges of opening a distillery in Ohio and why they believe downtown Mansfield is the perfect place to build a local brand.
