Episode 91 of News Man Weekly kicks off with Carl officially declaring mowing season open in Mansfield. From there, Carl, Zac and a newly reinstated Hayden dive into their weekend recap: The Source won an award, baseball’s return, college basketball and the usual chaos before jumping into "What's Carl Watching?"

In News of the Week, the crew breaks down several local developments, including a new disc golf course coming to Middle Park, a potential expansion by a local steel fabricator that could bring new jobs to the area and the next phases of the West End Neighborhood Improvement Project set to begin this spring. 

Finally, the show welcomes Jessica Gribben, the new President and CEO of the Richland Area Chamber & Economic Development. Gribben shares her journey from real estate and banking into community development, reflects on her deep roots in Richland County and outlines her vision for driving economic growth, workforce development, and long-term opportunity in the region. It’s a forward-looking conversation about leadership, momentum and what it takes to build a stronger local economy.
