  • Unwelcome Access Podcast Episode 1: Programmatic Access

    Join Ross and learn about accessibility laws in the United States, and how the way we usually think about them, focused on the physical environment, is actually only supporting the main, core feature of the law: programmatic accessibility.

  • Episode 3: Assistive Technology

    A very, very, VERY high level overview of assistive tech. This is the first in a series, looking at what is assistive technology more generally, and will followed up on by other episodes in the future.


    Apologies for the weirdness in the captions and transcript and the un-updated patreon endcard, still learning how to do my new editing software and have struggled a bit with making that work for me, especially given some personal stuff lately. Hopefully this is still good for ya'll, and looking forward to next week's episode!
