Rich Tretheway and Marc Scortino live on Block Island, a seven miles-long by three miles-wide rock thirteen miles off the southeastern tip of Rhode Island. Life can get...well...kind of interesting out there. The island is populated by a host of colorful and eccentric characters who coexist the best they can in extremely close quarters. When summer hits and the ferry boats roll in packed with tourists, chaos sometimes ensues. Tune in to find out how the inhabitants of Block Island deal with it...or not deal with it. *While the things we talk about on the podcast shouldn't offend too many people, some explicit language is used.

Customer Reviews
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 👍
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......
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!
