Jim Gorman’s Mansfield legacy across aviation museums, parks, and community gifts

Inkcarceration is aiming even higher in 2026 after drawing a record 90,000 fans across three sold-out days last year at the Ohio State Reformatory. The July 17 through 19 festival will bring more than 65 bands to Mansfield, including headliners like Disturbed, Bad Omens and Limp Bizkit, while continuing to mix live music with tattoo culture and the prison’s one-of-a-kind setting. Organizers say upgrades to the site, parking and camping could make this year’s event one of the festival’s biggest yet.

Today – A notorious Richland County murder case has reached its final chapter, as convicted killer John Boyle has died in prison.

Today &ndash; A notorious Richland County murder case has reached its final chapter, as convicted killer John Boyle has died in prison.

The Final Update in the John Boyle Murder Case

Episode 94 of News Man Weekly starts with a very Ohio problem — snow in April and a place that refuses to fully commit to spring — before diving into a packed week of local headlines and big-picture conversations. From the latest developments (and pushback) on the proposed Buc-ee’s site to a major downtown hotel redevelopment and the passing of one of Richland County’s most infamous criminal figures.

Plus, we're joined by Ashland University professor John Moser before he heads to a new career role at the University of Tennessee. Moser breaks down today’s political climate through a historical lens, drawing comparisons to past global conflicts and offering insight into where the country may be headed. Moser doesn’t hold back, either — diving into the escalating war in Iran, breaking down how President Trump’s foreign policy fits (or doesn’t) into historical precedent, and what it all means for America’s standing on the global stage.

Then, Richland Source reporter Katie Ellington Serrao joins the show to talk about the Source Journalism Fellowship, what it means for the next generation of local storytellers, and why civic engagement starts earlier than most people think.
