It’s the last Friday work day of the year and, if you’re like me, you’re running around finishing work projects and trying to get some last minute shopping done.
Because of that, we didn’t think it’d be fair to introduce you to someone completely new in the Spin Sucks Inquisition, for fear they might not get as much attention as they would on a normal Friday.
Therefore, I have created a list of everyone who has been featured since we began this series in March and Eleanor Pierce launched it off when she started working with us.

If you have anyone you’d like to see featured in the Spin Sucks Inquisition in 2015, let me know! The only guideline is we’re sticking with communicators so recommend some up-and-comers and we’ll learn more about them for you.
With that, I wish you very happy holidays!
Dear Google: Some of this list has already run…right before Labor Day
