After celebrating our 100th episode in front of a live audience, the News Man Weekly crew returns to the familiar confines of the Richland Source podcast studio.

This week, Carl, Zac and Hayden dive into some of the biggest local stories making headlines, including a major roundabout project in the Lexington-Ontario corridor, the opening of Silver Birch of Mansfield and storm damage across Knox County.

Later, we sit down with Destination Mansfield Richland County President Lee Tasseff for a conversation about tourism's impact on the local economy, what attractions are bringing visitors to the area and why this summer could be one of the busiest yet for Richland County. 

This episode is powered by the great folks at Relax, It's Just Coffee.
