Our Daily Show With CJ! Ft. Rusty Wheat, Mayor Stalcup & City Manager Palen, and More!

Start your Friday morning with local problem-solving and a forward-looking conversation on city leadership.

At 9:20 AM, Rusty Wheat is back in the studio for another edition of Talkin’ Trash. Rusty will break down the latest issues surrounding trash, cleanup, and disposal across the Riverbend, including what residents are dealing with right now, common misconceptions, and practical steps people can take to keep neighborhoods clean and compliant. It’s a real-world conversation focused on accountability, clarity, and solutions.

Then later in the morning, Mayor Tom Stalcup joins the show alongside Steve Palen for a State of Wood River 2026 interview. We’ll talk priorities for the year ahead, ongoing and upcoming projects, infrastructure, growth, and what residents can expect as Wood River plans for the future.

A Friday morning centered on community issues, local leadership, and what’s ahead for the Riverbend.
