Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk has quickly emerged as one of the most vibrant and accessible spaces for examining technology’s real-world impact in 2025. The show’s unique format prioritizes conversations with industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and everyday tech users, unpacking how digital advances shape not just the tech sector, but the way people live, work, and connect. Recent episodes have focused on pressing issues such as artificial intelligence in creative industries, digital inclusion, and the vital role of accessible design.

Listeners tuned in last week were treated to a lively exchange on the future of accessibility in tech. Drawing on headlines from outlets like TPGi, commentators addressed the June 2025 European Accessibility Act deadline, exploring what those changes mean in practice and what’s next for organizations. Level Access, a leading digital accessibility firm, has been pioneering new AI-powered tools intended to help companies identify and resolve issues at any stage of site development. Amber Hinds from Equalize Digital joined the talk, highlighting the importance of holistic strategies that make tech products usable for all—including those relying on screen readers and alternative input devices. The discussion underscored a growing industry commitment to inclusion, moving beyond compliance into the realm of everyday usability.

Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk also draws inspiration from recent tech-centric events, such as New York Comic Con’s deep dives into representation and creative world-building. The roundtable with showrunners of Peacock’s The Copenhagen Test at Comic Con was referenced in a segment about balancing familiar analog artifacts with futuristic advances. It’s this blend of old and new that listeners find both relatable and forward-thinking. The series continues to invite guests like composers and creators who shape the intersection of technology and art, illustrating how concepts like electronic scoring are quietly transforming storytelling across media.

Upcoming episodes promise an even broader scope, with planned features on AI’s role in modern publishing and tips for responsible personal tech usage. Drawing on real-world examples discussed at the Women’s Media Group event last week, future shows will explore how writers and communicators are leveraging artificial intelligence for everything from marketing to reader engagement, offering practical strategies listeners can use in their own careers.

More than just a tech podcast, Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk has become a hub for community dialogue, bridging the gaps between developers, creatives, and the public. Listeners are encouraged to share their experiences and challenges, ensuring each episode speaks to people as active participants in shaping technology’s future.
