In episode 96 of the News Man Weekly, we break down the key stories shaping the community. These include what voters need to know ahead of the May 5 primary election, a downtown vandalism arrest that drew a strong response from police leadership and the long-awaited roundabout project at Lexington-Springmill and Home roads finally moving toward construction.  
Then, we’re joined by broadcaster Chris Kelly from iHeartMedia. Kelly shares insight into upcoming career changes, how radio in Mansfield has evolved over the years, and how he got started in radio and what advice he has for younger folks in the industry today. 
This episode is powered by the great folks at Relax, It's Just Coffee.
