Where accessibility meets real-world application.

Hosted by Shawn Jordison, digital accessibility consultant, trainer, and advocate, this show dives deep into the world of inclusive design, accessible technology, and the policies shaping our digital spaces. Each episode features candid conversations with experts, advocates, and everyday changemakers working to make documents, websites, videos, and software usable for everyone, including people with disabilities.

We explore accessibility from every angle:

Laws & Standards – Section 508, WCAG, ADA, AODA, Colorado HB21-1110, PDF/UA, and other regulations that shape compliance.

Practical Solutions – Tools, workflows, and strategies for creating accessible PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, and multimedia content.

Assistive Technology – How screen readers, captions, keyboard navigation, and other tools transform digital access.

Real-World Stories – Insights from educators, government officials, designers, developers, and advocates who are making a tangible impact.

Listeners can expect a mix of professional insights and practical takeaways. If you work in higher education, government, K–12 districts, nonprofits, or small business, you’ll find actionable advice that’s clear, simple, and ready to implement.

Every guest answers our signature questions, giving you a personal look at how accessibility impacts their work and life. From small victories to big systemic changes, you’ll hear stories that inspire action and highlight why accessibility matters—not just as a legal requirement, but as a human right.

Shawn’s own background spans years of helping organizations meet accessibility standards, remediate documents, train staff, and navigate complex legal requirements. Through this podcast, his mission is simple: make accessibility less overwhelming and more achievable for everyone.
