From holding numerous positions in town government (including a stint as First Warden) to serving as one of the island's foremost naturalists and bird experts, Kim's love for Block Island is evident.Her father Lew Gaffett was one of Block Island's first nightlife impresarios. Kim graciously entertains Marc's numerous questions about Lew's famed establishments beginning with the legendary "Monday Night Club".Beyond bars- Kim's passion for all things birds takes center stage. Along with previous TGOBI guest Scott Comings, Kim is one of the foremost experts on the fine feathered friends that live on and visit our little migratory rest stop.

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.
