about Seth Tompkins

With over a decade of experience on the content side of public radio, Seth Tompkins knows what works, and more importantly, why. Seth’s focus on the theory behind public radio station performance makes him a unique resource who can help stations rapidly adopt strategies that work.

With a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in classical music performance, Seth came to public radio the way many classical-format hosts do, before learning that classical music performance and presenting classical music on the radio are two very different sides of the same coin. Seth served as a music programmer, producer, host, and manager for 11 years before starting Tompkins Media to provide high-quality support to public radio stations in markets across the country.

Seth lives in Seattle, Washington.
