Jono Alderson joins the podcast to discuss why semantic HTML still matters today. He shares how thoughtful markup can improve accessibility and performance, from using the picture tag and responsive images to optimizing with content-visibility CSS. The conversation dives into common pitfalls like div soup, the shift toward more template-centric design, and techniques for improving the critical rendering path. Jono also discusses preloading, HTTP early hints, and the evolving role of structured data, LLMs, and Google's trust signals in shaping a more meaningful and efficient web.

Universal has reopened Stardust Racers at Epic Universe, following a fatal incident earlier this year, and introduced new signage and stricter accessibility requirements. The latest safety guide now warns guests with weakened bones, limited mobility, or difficulty maintaining an upright position not to ride—and the “must walk independently” clause now extends across multiple attractions. Philip and Scott unpack what this means for operators who must balance guest safety, accessibility, and legal liability. Should Universal have waited longer to reopen, or do the updated rules demonstrate responsible transparency? Plus, Universal's Vegas venue gets festive with Krampus and Kin, a dark-holiday overlay for Horror Unleashed. Listen to weekly BONUS episodes on our Patreon.

In this episode of Cache Up, host Michelle Frechette chats with Joe Dawson, co-founder of WordPress Accessibility Day. They discuss the event's origins, its 24-hour global online format, and the importance of accessibility in web design for people with disabilities and aging users. Joe explains the logistics behind providing live captions, ASL interpretation, and paying speakers. The conversation highlights the volunteer-driven nature of the event, the need for sponsorship, and ongoing efforts to improve both digital and physical accessibility in the WordPress community and beyond.Top Takeaways: The Origins and Growth of WP Accessibility Day: WP Accessibility Day started in 2020 as an online accessibility-focused event and was significantly shaped by the pandemic, which allowed the team to attract international speakers. Founders Joe Dolson, Amber Hinds, and Bet Hannon built a volunteer-run organization that has grown into an annual, fully online 24-hour event, enabling global participation.Commitment to Accessibility for All: The event emphasizes true accessibility, not just compliance. It includes live ASL interpretation, live captions, and translated content (currently in Spanish, French, and other languages), ensuring participants with various disabilities and language backgrounds can fully engage. Accessibility is seen as a benefit for everyone, including those with temporary or situational disabilities.Valuing Contributors and Maintaining a Sustainable Model: WP Accessibility Day pays its speakers and translators to honor their time and expertise, despite being a volunteer-led nonprofit. Sponsorships and donations fund professional captioning, sign language interpreters, Zoom infrastructure, and post-production, balancing high-quality accessibility services with organizational sustainability.Real-World Impact and Awareness: The conversation highlights how accessibility challenges extend beyond the web to physical spaces and everyday life. Joe and Michelle emphasize the importance of listening to feedback from people with disabilities, including temporary ones, and addressing barriers proactively. The event and its materials serve as both an educational resource and a demonstration of inclusive design practices in action.Mentioned Links: WP accessibility dayid24Bet HannonAmber HindsVitaly FriedmanSmashing MagazineJoe A Simpson Jr

Amanda Cupido doesn't speak Spanish or French. But using AI, she and her team helped a global nonprofit make their internal podcast more accessible to as many employees as possible. Amanda is an audio producer and the founder of a production company called Lead Podcasting. One of her clients is a global nonprofit with over 35,000 employees—and not all of them speak English. So she made them a pitch: what if they added AI into the mix? They would make the podcast in English, and then use generative AI voice tools to translate it into Spanish and French—with a lot of human oversight, of course. Driven by a desire to use these tools for good, the goal was never to replace people, but to reach more people, and it worked.On this episode, Amanda shows what it's like—and what it sounds like—to make a podcast with AI that's still human at its core.You can learn more about Lead Podcasting at leadpodcasting.com~ ~ ~Working Smarter is brought to you by Dropbox Dash—the AI universal search and knowledge management tool from Dropbox.

In this episode of iCantCU, I catch you up on where I've been and dive into some pretty unbelievable questions I was asked by a healthcare professional—like how I get dressed, not what I wear, but literally how I put on clothes. It's troubling when educated people in healthcare still hold such misconceptions about blindness, and it reminded me of battles NFB members continue to face, including parents losing custody simply because they're blind. I also share lighter moments, like Ziggy's obsession with his giant Christmas pickle, a fun crab feast in Baltimore, and my trip to the Hiram G. Andrews Center in Johnstown. With the Pennsylvania state convention right around the corner, things have been hectic, but I'm still squeezing in events in Pittsburgh, New York, and the Lehigh Valley. Plus, I tested out some sunglasses while recording—let me know what you think!

Welcome to Gamers CornerWelcome to the very first edition of Gamers Corner, a brand-new show from AppleVis hosted by Thomas Domville (AnonyMouse), with co-hosts Aaron Spelker and Jesse Anderson. This inaugural episode marks the beginning of a seasonal series that will run three or four times a year, depending on the pace of major game releases.Gamers Corner was created to provide blind and low vision gamers with a dedicated space to discover new titles, revisit hidden gems, and explore accessibility in mainstream and indie games alike. Each edition will highlight standout iOS games, feature community-driven insights, and showcase accessible titles across other platforms. Our goal is to capture the excitement of gaming while maintaining a critical eye on design, accessibility, and overall player experience.In this debut issue, we dive into two ambitious iOS games that generated plenty of discussion, explore Aaron's “Vault Treasure” pick from the past, and finish with Jesse's console recommendation that proves accessibility is expanding beyond mobile platforms.Glory FrontlinePlatform: iOS (Free, with in-app purchases) Genre: Strategy and Action HybridGlory Frontline isn't content to play it safe. Instead, it pushes the boundaries of what blind-accessible iOS gaming can be, throwing players headfirst into the chaos of battle. In single-player mode, it feels like a tower defense game where enemies swarm down lanes, demanding that you shift quickly between positions to survive. Switch to multiplayer, however, and the world opens up into a full 360-degree battlefield more reminiscent of mainstream first-person shooters.The ambition is undeniable, and the sound design is equally striking, immersing players in frantic combat with clear audio cues for threats at every range. Yet with great ambition comes some missteps. The lack of a proper tutorial makes onboarding overwhelming, leaving many players confused about mechanics and progression. Microtransactions and skill regressions can also frustrate those unwilling to commit daily playtime.Still, for the dedicated gamer, Glory Frontline represents one of the boldest and most console-like experiences available on iOS. It's complex, sometimes punishing, but undeniably groundbreaking.Joker Poker: Texas FrenzyPlatform: iOS (Free, optional in-app purchase to remove ads) Genre: Roguelike PokerAt first glance, Joker Poker: Texas Frenzy might sound like just another card game. But this clever roguelike flips expectations on their head. Here, poker hands become puzzles, shaped by modifiers, celestial cards, and relentless boss battles. It's not about chasing the perfect flush — it's about leveraging multipliers and bending the rules of poker to survive another round.The replay value is immense. Every run feels different, and every choice carries weight, from what jokers to buy in the shop to how you approach the final boss's brutal debuffs. What looks like a familiar round of poker quickly turns into a strategic tug-of-war, where two pairs may outperform a full house thanks to well-stacked modifiers.Accessibility is generally solid, though a few unlabeled elements and interface quirks make the learning curve steeper than it should be. Fortunately,…

Eating in the morning sounds simple, but for many people in eating disorder recovery it feels nearly impossible. Breakfast can bring up anxiety, sensory overwhelm, executive functioning struggles, and old diet culture narratives that equate delaying food with being “good.” In this episode, Dr. Marianne Miller explores why breakfast is so hard, what's happening in the body and mind during mornings, and how oppression and neurodivergence can amplify these challenges. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Why hunger cues may be blunted in the morning for those healing from anorexia, ARFID, binge eating disorder, bulimia, or atypical anorexia. How anxiety, sensory sensitivities, and executive functioning difficulties make mornings especially tough. Why low-lift and “zero spoons” food strategies are key for ADHDers and neurodivergent folks. How systemic oppression and diet culture messages intensify morning eating struggles. Practical steps for making mornings less overwhelming and building breakfast into your routine. CONTENT CAUTION This episode discusses eating disorder recovery challenges and mentions binge urges, food avoidance, and systemic oppression. Please take care of yourself as you listen. WHY THIS MATTERS Morning eating struggles are not a personal failing. They're a reflection of body rhythms, trauma, and cultural messages around food and bodies. Understanding the intersection of physiology, psychology, and oppression allows recovery to be rooted in compassion rather than shame. Whether you're working on ARFID recovery, managing binge urges, or navigating long-term eating disorder challenges, starting the day with nourishment can support stability and healing. EXPLORE MY ARFID & SELECTIVE EATING COURSE If mornings feel like an impossible hurdle, I created the ARFID & Selective Eating Course to support you. It's designed for people who struggle with food avoidance, sensory sensitivities, or anxiety around eating, as well as for parents and providers seeking neurodivergent-affirming strategies. The course is self-paced and packed with practical tools to make eating less overwhelming and more possible. Dr. Marianne Miller, an eating disorder therapist based in San Diego, California, as well as serving eating disorder clients in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Texas, and Washington, D.C., unpacks the biology, psychology, and cultural conditioning that make morning eating so difficult. With a neurodivergent-affirming lens, she offers low-lift strategies for ADHD and autistic folks, highlights how systemic oppression and anti-fat bias amplify these struggles, and provides practical tools for building safety and consistency with food in the mornings.

In this heart-opening conversation, NeuroDuo's Lauren and Tom share how their late diagnoses of autism and ADHD transformed not only their individual lives but their relationship, creativity, and self-acceptance. They talk about battling stigma, navigating sensory overload, and learning to create content that mirrors their real experience—not performative or polished, but real, resonant, and healing. From clock ticks in an assessment room to the quiet validation of knowing you're not alone, this episode explores how authenticity becomes therapy—and how being understood can change everything.linktr.ee/neuroduoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

Author and fat liberation advocate Amanda Martinez Beck @thefatdispatch joins me to share what it's like to navigate eating disorder treatment while taking a GLP-1 medication for diabetes care. She opens up about her lived experience with atypical anorexia in a larger body, the challenges of muted hunger cues on Ozempic, and how she's learning to embrace nourishment with compassion. This conversation highlights the nuance of recovery, the complexities of body change, and the importance of choosing curiosity over judgment. CONTENT CAUTION This episode discusses eating disorders, fat stigma, and experiences with GLP-1 medications. Please take care while listening. WHAT WE COVER How atypical anorexia is often overlooked in larger bodies Why Ozempic can suppress hunger cues and mimic anorexia symptoms Building structured meals and snacks when appetite cues are muted Holding nuance in fat liberation while navigating diabetes care Practicing curiosity instead of judgment when bodies change Fat accessibility in professional settings and advocating for support The creation of Nozempic Mondays as a community resource on Substack KEY TAKEAWAYS Eating disorder recovery requires intentional nourishment, regardless of body size.
