This week on News Man Weekly, it’s just the crew—no guest, no script, just a freewheeling discussion on everything from winter misery to the weekend in sports. Hunnell kicks things off with a full-blown rant about Ohio’s relentless winter, reminiscing on why snowbirds have the right idea. From there, Hiser and Ritchey join the conversation to break down the NBA All-Star Weekend (or why it wasn’t worth watching) and celebrate Team USA’s hard-hitting hockey victory over Canada.

But it’s not all fun and games — we also dive into the latest news, including a developing investigation into alleged abuse connected to Faith Life Church in New Albany. Plus, we answer a listener’s Open Source question about the massive new assisted living development in Mansfield and check in on local sled dog racer Matthew Failor as he prepares for another grueling Iditarod.
