Sarah Rodman is one of two pop music critics for the Boston Globe, a position she has held since May 2006. For thirteen years prior to that, she worked as both the pop music and television critic for the Boston Herald, where she also wrote about books, theater, travel and film. Her interest in music and and the arts began early as a child growing up in Natick thanks to her parents' eclectic tastes and through working at the late, lamented record store Good Vibrations. Rodman received her degree in arts criticism, a major of her own design, from Ithaca College.
