Seabrook was among the first on-air public radio personalities to leave NPR[2] and start a successful, independent podcast, DecodeDC, which was later acquired by the E.W.
Scripps Corp. Seabrook went on to serve as DC Bureau Chief of Marketplace with Kai Ryssdal, and then Managing Editor of the civic-tech app, Countable.
Seabrook has since moved to Costa Rica and founded a bilingual newspaper called The Monteverde News.
While at Earlham, Seabrook worked at WECI, the college's public radio station.
In July 2012, Seabrook left NPR and has started the political podcast DecodeDC with the goal of “deciphering Washington's Byzantine language and procedure, sweeping away what doesn't matter so listeners can focus on what does".
