  • 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.

What Automated Accessibility Tools Will Never Catch with Tanveer Khan
Q: When deciding between automated and manual testing, what order do you recommend and why?
Start with automated testing to surface rule-based issues, then move to manual testing to evaluate context, interaction, and user experience, and finally incorporate assistive technology testing for a complete picture; a blended, layered approach is best.
What Automated Accessibility Tools Will Never Catch with Tanveer Khan
Q: How do you demonstrate to a client that remediation has achieved accessibility compliance across WCAG 2.2 AA?
Create a VPEG accessibility plan during testing, provide an accessibility coverage report, implement fixes, and then generate a fresh VPEG along with an Accessibility Confirmation report; invite a person with a disability to perform usability testing to validate real-world accessibility.
What Automated Accessibility Tools Will Never Catch with Tanveer Khan
Q: You mentioned cognitive load and the difficulty of measuring it with automation. Are there any practical tools or approaches you recommend for assessing cognitive effort?
Automated tools struggle with cognitive aspects, so the recommended approach is to supplement rule-based checks with real user testing, iterative test data to challenge automation, and gradually evolving AI-assisted prompts for documentation while relying on human judgment for cognitive aspects.
All About Accessibility Lab with Joe and Anne | Save the World Brewing TX Cerveza
Q: Can you walk us through some of the features you envision for Accessibility Lab?
They describe a suite of experimental features that would test new accessibility checks, especially around alt text storage, ARIA attributes, and block-level validation APIs, with the aim of gathering real-world data before considering core adoption.
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.
