Rick Sebak
Rick Sebak is an American public broadcasting television producer, writer and narrator who lives and works in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States.
Rick makes unusual television programs. His slightly wacky documentaries celebrate various aspects of modern American life and the unexpected charms of Pittsburgh. Audiences have learned to recognize his friendly narrative style and the unusual topics that he obviously loves.
Sebak is the creator of the "scrapbook documentary" genre, many of which he has created for WQED and PBS.

Rick does not appear on-camera in these programs, but audiences have learned to recognize his voice and distinctive narrative style.
