158: The ADA Deadline Is Here & Your Board Meeting Docs Are a Problem, Maine Root Blueberry Soda

In this episode of Accessibility Craft, the team dives into the high-stakes world of digital accessibility compliance as the ADA deadline for state and local governments rapidly approaches. With the April 24th cutoff looming for larger jurisdictions, the discussion centers on the massive challenge of remediating public documents, specifically public meeting agendas and minutes. They explore how traditional PDF workflows often create barriers for users with disabilities as the norm and not the exception, and discuss why some are choosing to pull information offline rather than face the complexities of remediation.

This episode is a recording of a February 2026 WordPress Accessibility Meetup, brought to you by Equalize Digital. At this event, the UK Ministry of Justice Senior Accessibility Specialist Samantha Merrett walked everyone through what it really takes to create digital documents that are accessible in the real world, not just in theory.

156: Manhattan Project Peacekeeper, ChatGPT Wrote My Accessibility Lawsuit

In this episode, the team explores a startling trend surfacing in 2026: a massive spike in pro se accessibility lawsuits fueled by artificial intelligence. While AI tools have helped democratize knowledge and skills in some ways, they are now being used to automate legal filings against businesses for ADA Title III violations, often with hallucinated case citations and “legal slop” that creates chaos in the courts. Our hosts discuss whether this automated legal wave helps hold businesses accountable or if this emerging trend will ultimately damage the accessibility movement.

155: Live Website Remediation Part Two with Brian Coords

In this live WordPress accessibility remediation, Amber and Brian continued improving the accessibility of Brian’s podcast website, webmasters.fm.
