Inland Empire Matters
with host, Erin O'Toole

Inland Empire Matters explores issues that affect people who live, work and play in this region.  Program host Erin O’Toole presents a local perspective, and features interviews with local experts and community members, often spotlighting area nonprofit's and foundations.  The show airs Tuesday at 6:50 PM and repeats Wednesday at 7:50 AM.

Program topics vary from healthcare reform to the housing market crisis; to disaster preparedness, conservation and environmental issues, medical topics and legal concerns.  Some of Erin’s most notable interviews include Inland economist John Husing, San Bernardino Mayor Pat Morris, Stater Bros. chairman Jack Brown, Olympic speed skater Derek Parra, graphic novel writer (and author of Stardust) Neil Gaiman, and beloved public radio luminary and author Garrison Keillor. 

Who listens?  Anyone who’s interested in remarkable things going on in the Inland Empire, or in how things are changing and growing here – for better or worse; and people who want to hear from those who are making some of those changes happen…people who know the Inland Empire has its own distinct culture and is filled with interesting things to see and experience.
