    In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we’re revisiting our conversation with Dr. Lerone Martin, Director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Research and Education Institute at Stanford University and author of The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover. A nationally respected scholar, Dr. Martin explores how history, faith, and race intersect, and how those forces continue to shape the way we live and connect with one another today. From growing up in Ohio to now stewarding Dr. King’s papers, Dr. Martin reflects on the responsibility of preserving a legacy, the difference between fear and faith, and the everyday ways we can find the divine in one another. He reminds us that progress doesn’t come from perfection but from commitment, one conversation, one act of service, one bridge at a time. In a world that feels increasingly polarized, Dr. Martin offers a grounded vision of hope: that we can learn from history without erasing it, that empathy is a practice, and that community begins when we choose connection over isolation.

This conversation may resonate especially with listeners who feel socially drained, overwhelmed, or overstimulated, whether due to personality, season of life, or mental health challenges.

    This holiday week, we’re revisiting one of our favorite conversations on making space for grief — because we know that amongst all the joy, this season can also be a difficult one. In this episode, we sit down with Susan Hamme, director of Grief Services at Hospice of the Western Reserve. With more than 20 years of experience. From bedside social work to leading bereavement programs across 16 counties, Susan has devoted her career to creating spaces where loss can be acknowledged and shared. Susan helps us understand why grief is both normal and necessary, why it can feel so isolating, and how we might show up for one another in those hardest moments. She talks about the misconceptions that persist, the ways grief touches every part of life (physical, emotional, spiritual) and the surprising practices that can help people heal. From the quiet presence of a friend on the other end of the phone to the simple act of saying a loved one’s name, Susan reminds us that resilience and connection are built not by avoiding grief, but by making space for it together.

    Episode 77 of News Man Weekly opens with a lively debrief of an absolutely chaotic football weekend -- high school playoffs in Canton, the Ohio State fallout and the usual round of NFL overreactions. From there, Carl launches into a full holiday-season meltdown, delivering a rant about being trapped in an office drowning in Christmas music. This week’s edition of “What’s Carl Watching?”, features his brutally honest review of The Abandons and a far more enthusiastic rundown of his Top 5 Westerns of all time. In local news, Carl highlights major movement on the long-blighted West Park Shopping Center, which has finally transferred to a local buyer with hopes for brownfield-funded revitalization. He also recaps Mansfield’s latest Queen of Hearts winner -- a life-changing jackpot and a packed Brickyard celebration that brought a jolt of energy to downtown. The episode’s guest is Kelsey Cunning, the organizer behind Mansfield’s successful effort to bring backyard chickens back to city limits. She joins the show to discuss how the campaign came together, what changed City Council’s minds this time around and what comes next before the ordinance officially takes effect in 2026.

    What does “home” look like when your life is rooted in both connection and impermanence? In this episode, we sit down with actor and arts educator Noah Casner, a creative Swiss Army knife based in New York City and a familiar face in Mansfield through his performances at the Renaissance Theatre. Noah talks about what it’s like to arrive as an out-of-town performer, walk into a rehearsal room full of strangers, read the energy of a space, and advocate for art that feels truly accessible to the communities it serves. From pandemic-era Survivor marathons to navigating long-distance friendships and relationships spread across cities and time zones, Noah reflects on how to build real community in places you may only call home for a season. Along the way, we talk about rest, boundaries, and what it really means to be a “better villager,” showing up for others without pouring from an empty cup.Support the show: https://richlandsource.com/membersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
