In the rapidly evolving world of technology podcasts, Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk is gaining momentum as a standout series highlighting the impact of digital innovation in everyday life. This fall, as numerous technology events and festivals captivate industry minds and the general public, listeners are turning to Beyond the Screen for its fresh, accessible, and real-world tech conversations.

The AFI FEST 2025, taking place in Los Angeles from October 22 to 27, is not just celebrating cinematic storytelling but also bringing together thought leaders from across technology and media. Tech and media crossovers are more visible than ever, with events at the festival featuring not only filmmakers but also creators and technologists who blur the traditional lines between on-screen and real-life experiences, making the content of Beyond the Screen particularly relevant right now according to ArtsBeatLA.

Across the technology landscape, digital accessibility and ethical innovation continue to take center stage. The Sustainable Web Interest Group at the World Wide Web Consortium recently published its first public Draft Note of Web Sustainability Guidelines, reflecting a wider call for responsibility and inclusiveness in digital product development. In alignment, podcasts such as Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk have devoted recent episodes to exploring the practical side of building not just exciting, but also usable and inclusive technology. TPGi highlights that platforms like Be My Eyes and BT/EE are testing new accessibility support for blind and low-vision users in the UK, while podcasts globally are discussing topics like accessible design and the economic case for digital accessibility. Conversations around ethical tech are increasingly urgent, especially as new artificial intelligence tools are integrated into social platforms and devices.

A recent surge in parental concern regarding technology use in young people, described in depth by The Gospel Coalition, is sparking policy debates and shifting the conversation in homes and schools. With AI chatbots becoming more common among teenagers, tech podcasts like Beyond the Screen have amplified expert voices calling for stronger age restrictions and digital accountability. Listeners hear firsthand how families are navigating smartphone-free living, the redesign of digital tools for safer youth experiences, and the growing movement among parents to reclaim non-digital spaces.

Meanwhile, the podcast and tech media sectors are seeing unprecedented innovation. According to Podnews, Steven Bartlett recently launched Flightcast, a new video-first podcast platform, while Ausha reports over one billion downloads, reflecting the booming appetite for tech-focused audio and video content. Podcast advertising spending is expected to top three billion dollars for the first time in 2025. Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk—by amplifying current trends, ethical debates, and accessibility issues—not only informs but also shapes the discussion around the technologies listeners use every day.
