New lead in Ashland dentist double slaying as weapon is found

In this episode of Inside the Lines, host Curt Conrad is joined by co-producer Zac Hiser for a conversation with Galion wrestler Gradey Harding.

Harding is the first wrestler we've had in studio. We talked with him about the difference between folk style and Greco-Roman wrestling, what his diet and workout regimen looks like and he takes us through some of the most memorable matches from his high school career. 
Harding has signed a national letter of intent to wrestle for Division 1 Buffalo in college next year. He talked about why he chose Buffalo, what NIL looks like for college wrestlers and his future aspirations after college.

We also talked about an upcoming state wrestling title run for Harding and what that would mean to him as he looks to become the fourth ever state wrestling champion from Galion High School. 
This episode is brought to you by Graham Auto Mall. 

Intro and outro music is "Story of the Sunflower Samurai" by local artist Vaundoom.

Inside the Lines: Galion Wrestler Gradey Harding

Today – Cannabis sales are bringing in new revenue for Mansfield — and city leaders are just beginning to decide how to spend it.

Today &ndash; Cannabis sales are bringing in new revenue for Mansfield &mdash; and city leaders are just beginning to decide how to spend it.

Mansfield weighs how to spend cannabis revenue

In episode 80 of The News Man Weekly, Hunnell and the gang dig into a packed local and regional news cycle. He breaks down the long-awaited sale of the former West Park Shopping Center, now back in local hands after years of neglect. He also provides an update on a major development in the double homicide of former Ashland dentist Spencer Tepe and his wife in Columbus, followed by updates on redevelopment plans for the former YMCA site on Park Avenue West.

Our guest this week is Source Media's digital marketing director, Adam Doc Fox, who is also an avid mountaineer and outdoorsman. Fox recounts his recent solo trip to New York to hike the notoriously brutal Devil’s Path. As a highpointer who has reached the highest peak in all lower 48 states, Fox also reflects on some of his most difficult adventures, the mindset required for solo hikes, his advice for beginners and why climbing Mount Everest isn’t necessarily the pinnacle people imagine it to be.
