  • Happening in Henderson: The Surplus, The Scams, and The Spring Squeeze
    Feb 16 2026

    Join Mark and Joleen for a grounded yet candid look at life in America's second-safest large city on "Happening in Henderson," where we navigate everything from the Clark County School District's controversial staffing "surplussing" to the latest high-tech scams targeting our neighbors. This episode dives into the essential local headlines, including the tragic reality of valley traffic, the Silver Knights' return to form, and the rising culinary scene on Water Street--where rooftop brunches are finally making construction cranes look like decor. We balance the hard truths of a shifting real estate market and I-215's blinding new LED upgrades with a guide to the weekend's best artisan markets and candle-making workshops. Subscribe to stay informed on the community news that actually matters, delivered with a hint of local grit and the composed indifference that only a Henderson commute can produce.

  • Happening in Henderson: Super Bowl Tears, Budget Nightmares, and Puppy Dates
    Feb 9 2026

    Mark and Joleen return to "Happening in Henderson" for a February 9th update that blends essential local headlines with a realistic, slightly cynical look at life in the desert. This episode dives into the aftermath of Super Bowl LX, discussing the Seahawks' dominant win and Klint Kubiak's high-stakes move to the Raiders, while also addressing the sobering reality of the Clark County School District's $50 million budget reduction and its impact on local educators. We balance the heavy news of "surplused" teachers and city council drama with the lighter side of Henderson living, including the development of Boyd Gaming's Cadence Crossing, the expansion of Bojangles, and upcoming Valentine's Day events like the Ethel M Lights of Love. Whether you're navigating the latest 215 construction nightmares or just trying to make sense of a "normalizing" real estate market, join us for a straightforward, grounded, and occasionally sharp-witted breakdown of everything currently shaping our community.

  • Happening in Henderson: Election War Chests and Vowel-Less BBQ
    Feb 2 2026

    Join Mark and Joleen on Happening in Henderson as they peel back the curtain on the local political circus, starting with the staggering campaign funding gap in the mayoral race and a retaliatory lawsuit shaking up city hall. This episode navigates the "desert of madness" with critical updates on the CCSD budget crisis, those controversial new school start times, and the perpetual orange-cone obstacle course that is the 215 widening project. We're digging into Henderson real estate trends for 2026, mourning the loss of The Cupcakery while celebrating the "pig candy" at SMKD BBQ, and questioning why the Golden Knights have suddenly forgotten how to win a hockey game. Whether you're here for Gospel Fest details, the weekend weather forecast, or a reality check on suburban life, we've got the news that matters to Southern Nevada, delivered without the HOA-approved filter.
