This week on News Man Weekly, Carl, Zac, Hayden and special guest Chris Kelly get you ready for one of Mansfield's biggest weekends of the year: The Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival. The crew also breaks down some news of the week, including why Ohio was named CNBC's top state for business, the grand opening of Rural King in Ontario and plans to transform a longtime Ontario eyesore into new community green space.

Then we welcome Rasan Leathers, host of the She Shreds podcast, for an insider's look at the heavy metal community and what makes Inkcarceration unlike any other festival in the country. We discuss the rise of women in metal, how Rasan gets musicians to open up in interviews, the unique culture surrounding Ink and who we're most excited to see. We do our best to educate Carl on current metal culture as well as convince him to attend the Ohio State Reformatory for the fest this weekend.
