Welcome to *Happening in Upland*, the local news podcast that treats life in the Inland Empire with the mixture of community pride and mild exasperation it deserves. Join hosts Mark and Joleen as they navigate the beautiful, chaotic mess of our city--from the massive student walkouts hitting the Southland and the tragic reality of local road safety to the "elevated" pub fare at Rescue Brewery in Historic Downtown. We cut through the noise of the never-ending I-10 construction and those permanent art installations known as orange cones to bring you a balanced look at Upland's real estate market, high school sports, and the specific misery of a rainy Monday in the IE. Whether you're looking for a realistic take on local politics or just want to know where to find a dog-friendly beer, we offer an honest, slightly edgy, and occasionally witty perspective on the headlines that actually matter to the people living between the 210 and the 10. Subscribe for your weekly dose of Upland reality, served with a side of cynical sunshine and a lot of heart.
