  • If Accessibility Had a Happy Hour…it’d probably sound a lot like this podcast.

    Amber, Chris, and Steve manage to do the impossible: make web accessibility feel approachable and fun. The banter is A+, and they make accessibility feel like a topic you’d actually bring up at brunch. (Who wants to sit by me? 😆) Great mix of practical tips, thoughtful takes, and real-world stories.

    Lost a star only because now I expect every accessibility convo to come with a craft beverage and good vibes. Set the bar too high, folks. 🍻

  • Often listener, occasional guest

    Love that they syndicate the meetups into the podcast, allows me to catch up while walking the dog. I especially love how they have started adding chapters to the recent podcasts so I know when the “craft beverage“ spot ends (Steve is an excellent developer but some of his other choices can be concerning).

  • A fantastic way to learn more about accessibility

    I really enjoy hearing Amber, Chris, and Steve talk about the different aspects of accessibility from the perspective of best practices for users, but also from the viewpoint of developer implementation, but also as business owners dealing with client needs and expectations. I appreciate that even among experts they don’t necessarily have a single point of view or a single answer.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Creating a Digital Accessibility Program in Higher Education with Jesse Loesberg
Q: What were the key catalysts that led UC Berkeley to establish a campus-wide digital accessibility program?
The campus faced a DOJ consent decree requiring WCAG-compliant content, which pushed Berkeley to formalize governance, implement testing and remediation workflows, and embed accessibility into library IT and campus culture.
How Agencies Can Turn Their Accessibility Backlog Into Profit with Chris Hinds
Q: How should agencies approach risk and liability when delivering accessibility work?
Frame work to standards (e.g., WCAG) rather than laws, establish clear exclusions for what isn't guaranteed, and use precise, measurable targets; maintain transparent contracts and consider keeping a portion of work out of scope (e.g., PDFs) to avoid overpromising.
How Agencies Can Turn Their Accessibility Backlog Into Profit with Chris Hinds
Q: What is the main difference between rebuilding and retaining a site with ongoing accessibility optimization?
Rebuilding focuses on delivering a high-performance lead-gen engine with long-term usability and can deliver larger short-term gains; the retainer approach emphasizes ongoing optimization and brand insurance, providing gradual improvements with predictable costs and ongoing risk mitigation.
Throwback: Six Levels of Accessibility Maturity with Nick Croft
Q: How can a company move from treating accessibility as a separate budget item to making it part of every project?
Embed accessibility into design, development, and QA budgets from the start, create cross-functional responsibility, and treat accessibility as a systemic capability rather than a one-off requirement.
Throwback: Six Levels of Accessibility Maturity with Nick Croft
Q: What is the most effective starting point for a company just beginning its accessibility journey?
Start by recognizing that ownership will likely be distributed across individuals, teams, and eventually the entire organization; begin with automated tests to surface issues, but pair them with active testing and a plan to move from emergent to structured and beyond.
