Episode 67 of News Man Weekly is a special pre-election edition. Carl, Zac and Hayden kick things off with their usual weekend banter, including the Guardians’ playoff-clinching walk-off and NFL Week 4 overreactions. Then it’s on to the local headlines: shots fired in a downtown Mansfield parking lot, “The Brawl at the Mall” fight card drawing big crowds at the former Richland Mall and Richland Public Health unveiling a 24/7 vending machine stocked with everything from first aid kits to Narcan.

The spotlight then shifts to elections with guests Matt Finfgeld and Jane Zimmermann from the Richland County Board of Elections. With Election Day just weeks away, they break down registration deadlines, early voting options, the need for poll workers and why local races matter just as much as presidential ones. It’s a timely conversation designed to help voters understand the process, get engaged, and make their voices heard this November.
