Today on the show, Steven and Shaun dedicate the episode to the people who were instrumental in creating what is now known as Global Accessibility Awareness Day. They spend the hour with Joe Devon who, along with his friends, developed the day after it was clear there was a need to educate people on building accessible websites, services and apps. It all started with a blog post that still to this day goes viral each year.
