Hannah Cook
Hannah was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and currently attends Ohio University among the rolling hills of Appalachia. She is a junior with a major in magazine journalism and a specialization in anthropology. Currently, she is the Managing Editor of the editorial department of ACRN, Ohio University’s student-run radio station. She’s done many album reviews, live reviews and show previews, and has interviewed anyone from the Athens’ locals to Jeremiah Edmond of Favorite Gentlemen, to Erica Wennerstrom of Heartless Bastards. When she’s not caring for her guinea pig, Little Baby Girl, playing guitar or in class, she’s working at the local pizza joint, catering to the drunken college students. She hopes to get out of America and own a lot of animals after graduation, but in the mean time, music journalism takes up most of her time.
