Jonathan Storm

Jonathan Storm has watched television since he was 5 years old. He would wake up early, turn on the TV and watch the test patterns as he waited for The Modern Farmer to begin. Eventually, he put all that experience to good use, working as the TV critic at the Philadelphia Inquirer for 22 years before retiring in 2011. He’s still watching, and writing free-lance for The Inquirer and other outlets.
