Description

When Rich and Marc decided to pull the trigger and launch the TGOBI podcast, they sought out the advice of a veteran broadcaster with deep ties to Block Island...Bob Kocak earned his nickname "Buzz Knight" during his early days in radio (hint- it has something to do with Boz Scaggs). That would've been sometime in the 1970's when Buzz served as a DJ at a number of major market stations. During our conversation Buzz talks about his journey through the industry and cold calling Howard Stern (then program director at WRNW in Briarcliffe Manor, NY) while job hunting. But for as much as Bob enjoyed his career in radio, he has enjoyed his time spent on Block Island in equal measure. A long time visitor for many years, Bob and his wife eventually purchased a home and spent many summers as "locals". We talk to Bob about what drew him to Block Island and the things he loves to do when he's here. Spoiler alert: he likes to take walks. Little did Bob know that those walks would lead him to begin his own podcast..."Takin' A Walk" hosted by Buzz Knight dropped it's first episode in early November of 2021 and the name of the cast says it all. Buzz invites an array of personalities to well...take a walk with him and chat. The podcast is available on all major streaming platforms. Rich and Marc compare notes with Buzz about the podcasting experience.

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.
