Episode 89 of the News Man Weekly opens with Carl ranting about a brutal windstorm that knocked out his power for nearly 27 hours. From there, Carl, Zac and Hayden riff on covering local sports this weekend before diving into another installment of What’s Carl Watching?

In News of the Week, the crew breaks down several major headlines from around the region, including Mansfield landing a potential Buc-ee’s travel center near the I-71/Ohio 39 interchange. They also discuss the widespread power outages caused by Friday’s windstorm and the tragic loss of six Ohio Air National Guard members killed during a mid-air collision while supporting U.S. operations overseas.

Finally, the show welcomes Jeff Ulery and Nate Daniel, two of the guys behind The Mothership, Mansfield’s independent live music venue and creative space at 327 Park Avenue West. The conversation explores how they transformed an old doctor’s office into a thriving music hub, the artists and shows they’re excited about this year and how they’re building opportunities for both local and non-local musicians through live performances, recording space and creative collaboration.
