This week marks a double birthday celebration on News Man Weekly — it’s our one-year anniversary, and we’re also toasting 12 years of independent local journalism at Richland Source. To mark the occasion, we’re joined by Source Media CEO Jay Allred for a wide-ranging conversation about the past, present, and future of the company he helped build from the ground up. Also in the studio this week is Dave Kracker, retired executive director of Richland County Children Services and a relentless advocate for public accountability. After a lifetime of service, Dave rolled up his sleeves for a new project: Digging into how local governments spent millions in American Rescue Plan Act funds. He talks us through what he uncovered, why he did it, and what it revealed. His research echoes what journalism strives to do — illuminate how public money is spent, and who benefits. In the News of the Week, we break down the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear sites in Operation Midnight Hammer, Olivia Fosson’s crowning as Miss Ohio at Mansfield’s Renaissance Theatre, the debate over affordable senior housing on the Ocie Hill site, and Mansfield Mayor Jodie Perry’s fierce opposition to House Bill 335, which could gut local government budgets across Ohio. News Man Weekly is proudly sponsored by Relax, It’s Just Coffee — where every day starts better. Find them at 105 North Main Street in downtown Mansfield. Grab a cup, take a breath, and enjoy the conversation.

In this episode, we sit down with Jillian Henry — a passionate community builder, director of marketing at the Renaissance Theatre, and president of the board at Love On A Mission — to talk about what it means to become a parent, a friend, and a fully-formed human on your own terms. Jillian shares her experience navigating first-time motherhood in her 30s, building inclusive communities outside of traditional spaces, and why friendship can be just as powerful as family. We talk about ambition, identity shifts, chosen support systems, and what it takes to live a life rooted in purpose — even when it doesn’t look like the one you imagined. If you're new here, this is a place for everyone to laugh, learn, heal and build. Not alone. Not perfectly. But arm in arm, heart to heart. Because we were never meant to do this alone.

Hear behind-the-scenes anecdotes, why the arts matter more than ever and what makes this concert-style version with the Mansfield Symphony a unique theatrical experience.

Mohit Tripathi, born on April 18, 1978, in R.K. Puram, New Delhi, is renowned for his significant contributions to Indian contemporary theater. Not only is he an actor, but he also excels as a director and writer. Additionally, he is a theater trainer, fondly admired and deeply respected by his students. After being thoroughly impressed by his play "Main Bhi Bachchan," I felt a strong desire to meet him and his team at the Renaissance Theatre to gain a deeper understanding of his work and approach.

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to another episode of The Open Mic Podcast! With your host Tom Hirst, brought to you by Richland Source and Newsroom After Hours! This week we have Ryan Citrino - Nick Bottom and Leah Gesouras - Beatrice Bottom (Nick's Wife), two members from the cast of Something Rotten! The next great production being performed at Mansfield's own legendary Renaissance Theatre!  Something Rotten! Opened on broadway in 2015 and was nominated for 10 Tony-awards. It's been described as if "Mel Brooks wrote Hamilton" The Story: Something Rotten takes place in 1595 London, England. The Bottom brothers, Nick and Nigel are trying to find success by writing plays, but are outshined by the rock-star playwright of the Renaissance, William Shakespeare. Desperate to find success Nick gets help from a soothsayer for the next big hit when he prophesies a musical. The Bottom brothers get to work creating the first musical, complete with song and dance. I had a blast chatting with Ryan and Leah! They have both had quite the fascinating life in theatre, with lots of incredibly colorful experiences along the way! This episode was a real treat for me because I know nothing about the musical play/theatre world. I got the chance to ask a lot of questions that I've always wanted to inquire about that world. There are a lot of interesting similarities between the theatre world and the traditional band world that I exist in normally. As well as a lot of things that I had never considered that they have to think about on a regular basis while preparing for the roles that they will be preforming as.  It sounds to me that this musical will be right up my alley, heavy comedic emphasis with some tugging on your heart strings, down on their luck, under-dog character moments. I'm excited to go see it and I hope you all will too!  Musicals are cool, I don't care what you think. If you disagree you're wrong.  Something Rotten!

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to another episode of The Open Mic Podcast! With your host Tom Hirst, brought to you by Richland Source and Newsroom After Hours! This week was a special one for me. I had the pleasure of interviewing Octavio Más-Arocas, the music director for the Mansfield symphony Orchestra! He was such a delightful person to interview. His immense passion for what he does draws you in and grips you. It compells you to want to understand what it is about his job that fuels the passion he displays. There is so, so much that goes on behind the scenes for every single performance the mansfield symphony puts on that we really just begin to scratch beneath the surface with the time we had.  We talk everything from his process of picking the music they play to the work that goes into tieing the theme and music into the performances that you see when they play. This was probably my favorite interview so far and i know you'll enjoy it! Especially the tomato fight conversation...

It’s spring! Time for fun! Time to be outside! Time to play sports! Time to enjoy flowers and birds! Time for picnics! Time for Shakespeare!Wait…what? Shakespeare fun? Isn’t Shakespeare serious and impossible to understand and boring and old, and irrelevant, and pretty much the opposite of fun?In a word: no. Shakespeare can be boring and old and serious and irrelevant, but it doesn’t need to be. In fact, Shakespeare started out as a guy who moved to London to pursue the career he wanted, which was to dress up and act and write stories that appealed to all kinds of people and make money by creating popular entertainment. His plays were full of naughty jokes and silly characters and recognizable family drama and challenges to authority. The people watching the plays were eating and drinking while they watched, and even threw a bit of food at the actors if things got a bit dull.Shakespeare shook things up in the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. Joined by fellow playwrights and actors, Shakespeare made English theatre a vibrant part of London life. Despite the plague closing the theatres for months at a time and cynical censors who didn’t want anyone questioning authority, Shakespeare created worlds out of words that are fun and tragic and controversial and full of family and friends and enemies and armies.We are ready to shake up spring with Shakespeare.

Just in time for Halloween is our special episode on the hauntings of Renaissance Theatre.  Our guests are Mark Jordan, who many of you know as our extraordinary music historian, and Annie Tarpley who are members of the group History & Haunts.  Prepare to get spooked as they discuss their paranormal investigations at the Renaissance and a few other locations.  You will hear actual EVPs that call out Mark's name, and even a "scream", to name a few. If you want to enjoy your Halloween at the Renaissance, come to Symphony Spooktacular on October 28th at 3:00 PM! The episode was recorded in the new Podcast studio of Idea Works in Mansfield, Ohio.  Idea+Works: Where Plans Come Together

There may be some listeners out there who are disappointed that this is a podcast and not a video interview, because today's episode is with Mike Tyler, one half of the act "The Naked Magicians." The Australian native and his co-magician Christopher Wayne are coming to the Renaissance Theatre on Wednesday, Oct. 17 to premiere their R-rated magic show in Mansfield. For more information about their act visit www.nakedmagicians.com and for tickets to the show visit www.mansfieldtickets.com. And if you're wondering, yes: they actually do get naked. 

In this episode, we meet the newest member of the Renaissance Theatre team, Maddie Penwell.  Maddie talks about her new position as Director of Education, Community Engagement, and Symphony, but adds some interesting tidbits about turtles, chrysalis, and Britney Spears. The episode was recorded in the new Podcast studio of Idea Works in Mansfield, Ohio.  Idea+Works: Where Plans Come Together

I honestly don't think I have laughed harder during a podcast interview than I have with Michael Thomas. It's amazing we actually got through this interview. But peppered among funny stories about farting on stage and being friends with Tina Fey, Michael has some poignant advice about being in the world of theater and finding your Eden wherever you are.  Click here to learn more about the Renaissance Theatre. 

This special episode of WTHAIH is due to the limited schedule of Bradley Cronenwett, who is only in Mansfield for a short period of time in-between touring with productions of Cirque du Soleil. These days he's traveling the world as the assistant head of lighting with Cirque, but he got his start pulling the curtain for a production at Shelby High School.  Click here for tickets to see The Hunchback of Notre Dame at the Renaissance Theatre.  Click here to learn more about Cirque du Soleil.  Click here to learn more about New Year's Eve traditions in Brazil (yes, I looked up wave jumping).
