the OPIN mic

The OPIN Mic is a podcast powered by a passion for Drupal. From selling & marketing to design & development, it’s a unique peek into digital agency life at OPIN Software. The monthly show is recorded at OPIN’s HQ in Ottawa, Canada, and hosted by Marketing Manager Suzy Kendrick. Listen in as Suzy and the podcast team takes listeners on a journey through the world of Drupal, discussing anything from module developments and software updates, to sales advice and marketing tactics. The OPIN Mic takes a holistic view on the business of Drupal and all the intricate pieces that come together to make a digital agency successful. Each month, The OPIN Mic team finds guests who are experts in their fields and leads a light-hearted and thought-provoking discussion designed to educate and inspire. If you’re a developer, business owner, marketer, sales associate or just have a general interest in the tech industry, then this podcast is for you! But don’t be mistaken, while the subject matter can be heavy at times, the banter and conversation is light and lively. We break things down for the beginner and dive deep for the more technically skilled, all while making terrible puns and references to pop culture memes. Plus, we always finish off on a light note with the Drupal Dad Joke of the Month. Want a heads up when each new episode of The OPIN Mic is released online?
