Episode Two and our first interview...ever. It's with a pretty big wheel but she'd never cop to it. Her name's Jessica Willi and she's one of the people responsible for how the rest of America percieves Block Island.

No pressure- right?

But there's a lot more to Jess than just being a one-woman propaganda machine for her little slice of paradise in the middle of the ocean. Her family were frozen yogurt pioneers and she herself is an undisputed heiress to the "Chicken Athena" legacy.\\xa0

Yup...the original.

Numero Dos also brings you our first ever "Fishing Report" brought to you by Block Island Fishworks and hosted by Captain Hank Hewitt of the Harley. If you're an angler, you could do worse than to take a few tips from Hank. We have to warn you- Hank is VERY passionate about fishing. Like...REALLY passionate.

We also learn a little about our new town manager and Mary Donelly, namesake of the Mary D. Fund. After listening and you want to toss a sheckle or two at the fund, here's the deets...
