Many creators treat accessibility as a long project or checkbox rather than a day‑one publishing habit. This 10‑minute episode gives PodRick’s Accessibility Sprint: a prioritized, tool‑agnostic routine to make a single episode far more usable for listeners who rely on captions, search, or assistive tech. In plain language the host walks through four fast wins (time‑stamped transcript, accurate captions, descriptive show notes + alt text for artwork, and an accessible player link), three surgical audio fixes (loudness normalization, de‑essing, and a one‑line audio description for visual elements), and exact minute‑by‑minute commands you can run with free tools. Listeners get copy‑paste transcript headers, a 30‑second demo of caption vs no‑caption retention, a simple metadata checklist for search and repurposing, and a micro‑challenge to ship an accessible episode this week. Outcome: increased reach, better SEO, clearer sponsor assets, and more inclusive publishing without adding hours to your workflow.
