This week's episode of the News Man Weekly is brought to you LIVE at Relax, It's Just Coffee. The team left the cozy confines of the Richland Source podcast studio and recorded in front of a live audience to celebrate 100 episodes.

After our typical intro banner and news of the week -- we're joined by the Mansfield Shakespeare Company, musical guest Cody Nicolas and Mayor Jodie Perry and City Engineer Bob Bianchi came on to talk about Main Street construction. We even had a surprise visit from Skate Ohio.

NOTE: We apologize for the less-than-ideal sound quality during the musical guest's performance.
