In this episode, we sit down with Cara Warner, a mom, music teacher, and performer, to share the story of her daughter Lily. Born in 2017 with multiple congenital heart defects, Lily’s thirty-day hospital journey was full of hard turns, fierce love, and courage.  

Clara reflects on what grief looks like in the days and years that follow, and how community support has shaped her path forward. We’re also airing this conversation just ahead of Congenital Heart Disease Awareness Week (February 7–14), a time to honor heart families and help more people understand CHD.

Episode 83 finds News Man Weekly buried deep in a Mansfield February — frozen, gray and feeling a lot like Groundhog Day with worse wind chill. The crew riffs on surviving brutal cold, charity events and a Cavs trade shakeup. From there, Carl runs through a news cycle, including updates from the county mayors’ panel, developments at the former Westinghouse site and new charges in a Mansfield homicide case. 
Our guests this week are Gary and Reneta Music of the Music Academy of Karate and Empowerment. We talk with them about the discipline and philosophy of "Kata," the role of empowerment in martial arts, the roots of karate in ancient Japanese traditions and how their downtown dojo is shaping students far beyond punches and kicks.

Mayors Weigh In on the Future of Property Taxes in Ohio

In this episode, we’re joined by Julie Chaya, a returning Better Together guest, for a conversation about tarot, astrology, and using both as tools for reflection rather than prediction. Julie shares how her interest in people, patterns, and growth led her to these ancient practices, and explains how natal charts, planetary movement, and tarot can help us pause and think about where we are without pressure or certainty.

From walking through birth charts to pulling tarot cards together, the conversation focuses on intention-setting, noticing patterns, and reflecting on past, present, and future as we think about how we want to move through the year ahead.

Better Together: Julie Chaya reads our stars and cards as we think about the new year ahead

In this episode of Inside the Lines, Curt Conrad and Effie James welcome Mansfield Senior sophomore Kaylen Brooks into the studio for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with remembering former Lexington coach Steve Gray and touches on Effie’s new podcast, Beyond the Scoreboard. Kaylen reflects on stepping into varsity basketball as a freshman and setting a program record with 299 points, the differences between AAU and high school basketball, and how a summer spent in the weight room helped him take the next step as a sophomore. He breaks down the chemistry of this year’s Tyger team, navigating adversity -- including a triple-overtime thriller against Ashland -- and what it means to already have his first college offer from Youngstown State. The episode wraps with rapid-fire questions and Kaylen’s vision for a storybook ending to the season.  
This episode is brought to you by Graham Auto Mall. 

Intro and outro music is "Story of the Sunflower Samurai" by local artist Vaundoom.
