ALTON — “Our Daily Show!,”Riverbender.com’s flagship talk program, is celebrating a major breakthrough in the podcast landscape. According to PodSEO, a leading platform for podcast rankings and SEO insights, the show has surged into the top 3% of all podcasts.
This impressive rise reflects a dramatic climb in engagement over the past month, with the show gaining national traction and officially outpacing long-established programs.
“It’s a testament to what happens when a community gets behind something real,” said host CJ Nasello. “We’re not backed by a corporate network — we’re powered by people who care about the Riverbend and want to hear about our region.”
