Seth Hartman
Seth listens in order to find immersive, emotionally resonant storytelling that steeps him in other points of view. Anything is fair game so long as it sparks the imagination, be it dark fantasy, memoir, historical fiction, or popular psychology. When he is not filling his head with audio, Seth can be found avoiding potholes while biking the streets of Brooklyn, marauding farmers markets, and obsessively watching horror movie trailers.
