O’Brien Communications’ Shaping Opinion is an award-winning podcast about people, events and things that have shaped the way we think. Each episode features a conversation between Tim O’Brien and a guest.

Stories range from the popular to the offbeat in sports and entertainment, science and business, to everyday life and government. We look at how things unfolded or may be still unfolding, those impacted, and how we may see things differently as a result.

The Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) recognized Shaping Opinion with its Bronze Anvil Award of Commendation in 2019.
