New Year, New Faces, Same Focus
We’re back! Season 2 of Mediacurrent’s Open Waters podcast is officially on its way. We recorded a special trailer episode to celebrate.
Our own Susan Cooper is taking over the mic this season with co-hosts Mark Shropshire and Mario Hernandez. Just like last season, our purpose is to explore the intersection of open source technology and digital marketing. We’ll share the challenges and solutions we see with our own clients and in the market.
During season 2, we'll be covering topics including:
- How to optimize your digital strategy
- Accessibility as a business imperative
- UX design principles
- How it all works together using open source technologies like Drupal
Welcome to Season 2
Meet the Hosts
Susan Cooper
Role at Mediacurrent: Senior Project Manager
Podcast creds: Co-host of Inclusion Catalyst, a podcast about diversity and social justice issues, and Producer of Marketing Upheaval.
What are you most excited about for season 2? I love podcasting and audio branding in general, so this is something I’ve been looking forward to since the day I started at Mediacurrent! These conversations are a great opportunity to learn from our guests and build community around our open source mission.
Mark "Shrop" Shropshire
Role at Mediacurrent: Senior Director of Development
Podcast creds: Shrop can be found talking about open source security, leadership, mentoring, and more on his two personal podcasts: goServeOthers and SHROPCAST
What are you most excited about for season 2? The opportunity to learn more about what other talented folks are doing in the marketing and tech industries. It is easy to be comfortable with what you know today, but I find that having conversations with others can really challenge you to think differently and learn new niches.
