Hey friends! Our first podcast is in the books! Although I was nervous as heck, it was a blast getting to spend time with some people who really know their stuff when it comes to accessibility. Jon Sasala was the perfect complement in style to mine which apparently  involves looking at the corner of my screen. Note to self, need to work  on looking at or near the camera on occasion. And if Jon wasn't enough, I had the honor of hearing both Tanya Scales  and Jon McLaren of HubSpot really drive it home. If you have thoughts about this episode and want to comment, go on over  to the HubSpot Community Developers' Blog and comment away!
