  • BI Vibbin’

    First time in BI. Happy to catch this pod full of good, local commentary and all the 411 for the island. From south Fla and can relate to the Bougie new neighbors trying to gentrify fun and funky towns phenom. 🤬 So sorry about the historic hotel fire but gratified to hear how local and mainland firefighters pulled together to contain the damage. Keep on podding, guys 👍

  • Entertaining

    Anyone who has spent any time on the island should find this podcast wildly entertaining (for the most part). I will say I liked previous seasons so much more than the current one but I am also very aware that when it comes to compelling individuals to interview, the pool is somewhat limited out there and these 2 have done a great job getting some of the more interesting characters to offer up their - ahem- bios. Keep digging for characters guys! They’re out there!

  • Amazing!

    Block Island has been my happy place since 1995 and I had no idea there was a podcast about it! I avoid the frat boy bars with live music as I go to BIRI to specifically experience calm and silence (I live in noisy NYC). So I have never set foot in Ballards or Captain Nick's (sorry guys). But this pod is amazing - maybe interview Jan at the Lightburne Gallery. She's lovely and is full of great stories......

  • A slice of audible heaven

    Recently discovered this podcast, and I’m obsessed. Hosts are really easy to listen to, and so knowledgeable on all things Block Island….I live in Sarasota now, having relocated from the north, so it’s not as easy to get to my favorite place as it once was. This brings a piece of the Block home for me, and I so appreciate all the work and thoughtfulness that they guys put into it!
