Sarasota Tastemakers on What They're Reading, Playing and Listening To
What I’m listening to: Thomas Koch, founder, Guitar Sarasota

What I’m playing: Chris Laney, Director of Communications, Digital Frontiers Media
The third game in a Playstation 3 series called Uncharted. It’s about a treasure hunter who visits hidden worlds and runs into bad guys while solving mysteries. My boss plays a lot of games, and he says it’s one of the best series he’s ever seen.
What I’m reading: Katrin Rudge, marine science teacher at Riverview High, county Teacher of the Year and State Teacher of the Year Finalist
