I Love San Bernardino County is a local KCAA radio show with a strong neighborhood pulse. It is less a sleek interview program than a recurring public table for civic talk, personal stories, business plugs, and community recognition. The show’s center is San Bernardino County, but its conversations stretch through family histories, migration, military service, city politics, youth mentorship, food, entertainment, and public life. Robert Porter is named repeatedly with the show, and Ippiani Lockhart is also named with I Love San Bernardino in one episode. Their energy is conversational and affirming. People are welcomed in, given room, corrected lightly, and encouraged to tell the long version.
The strongest episodes draw meaning from ordinary details. A discussion about a local official’s cycle becomes a conversation about actually having time to do public service. Land use, ADUs, code enforcement, cannabis, homeowners associations, and party complaints come up in plain language, without making city process feel remote. Another conversation about Juneteenth becomes a wider argument for pride, entertainment, investment, and keeping people connected to San Bernardino instead of sending all cultural energy elsewhere. The Post, Stronger Together Now, local coffee, loaded waffles, and Fourth Street all become part of the same civic map.
The show also makes space for origin stories. A guest talks about growing up in a military family, studying theater arts, commissioning into the United States Air Force, and carrying service into creative work. Another exchange moves through Yemen, Detroit, Brooklyn, bodegas, family migration, and the hope for a stronger economy back home. A mentoring conversation frames offices, business advice, nonprofit paperwork, books, and changed expectations as tools for helping younger men move differently in the world.
The broadcast can be messy around the edges. Sponsor reads, NBC News segments, entertainment headlines, station promos, and community calendar items often sit close to the show itself. That gives it a live-radio texture, sometimes distracting but also revealing. I Love San Bernardino County works best for people who care about San Bernardino County at human scale: who is organizing, who is building, who is serving, who is trying to make the city feel worth staying in.
Made for: This show is for listeners who care about San Bernardino County as a lived place: its politics, neighborhoods, organizers, businesses, schools, and cultural events. It especially suits people who like informal local radio more than tightly produced studio interviews.
What sets it apart: Its strength is the way civic issues and personal stories occupy the same space. Few local shows move this casually from ADUs and public service to Juneteenth planning, Yemen, loaded waffles, youth mentorship, and neighborhood pride.
