New Richland County fund helps residents fix critical home issues

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we’re revisiting our conversation with Dr. Lerone Martin, Director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University and author of The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover. A nationally respected scholar, Dr. Martin explores how history, faith, and race intersect, and how those forces continue to shape the way we live and connect with one another today.

From growing up in Ohio to now stewarding Dr. King’s papers, Dr. Martin reflects on the responsibility of preserving a legacy, the difference between fear and faith, and the everyday ways we can find the divine in one another. He reminds us that progress doesn’t come from perfection but from commitment, one conversation, one act of service, one bridge at a time.

In a world that feels increasingly polarized, Dr. Martin offers a grounded vision of hope: that we can learn from history without erasing it, that empathy is a practice, and that community begins when we choose connection over isolation.

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.
