What this site is built to

This site is designed, built, and tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. It was last tested on October 21, 2026 in two browser engines (Chromium and WebKit) on desktop and mobile screen sizes, with automated checks on every page and keyboard-only navigation. Testing is repeated on a schedule and after content changes, and the date above is updated each time.

What that means in practice

  • Every page can be used with a keyboard alone, with a visible focus outline and a skip link to the main content.
  • Pages use semantic headings, landmarks, and labels so screen readers can announce structure and controls.
  • Text and its background meet the WCAG contrast minimums, and the site stays usable at 200 percent zoom.
  • Images that carry meaning have descriptive alternative text.
  • Forms have visible labels and clear error messages, and never ask you to re-enter information you already gave.
  • Motion is limited, and it stops when your device asks for reduced motion.

Tools built into this site

The accessibility button in the lower corner of every page opens a panel where you can adjust the site to suit you. Your choices are remembered on your device.

  • Larger text, wider spacing, and a dyslexia-friendly font
  • High contrast, inverted colors, or adjusted saturation
  • A reading guide, a reading mask, and highlighted links and titles
  • A larger cursor, paused motion, and hidden images

Ongoing work and known limits

Accessibility is ongoing work, not a box checked once. New content is checked before it is published, and the whole site is re-tested on a schedule. Episodes are hosted on third-party platforms, such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube, and those are outside our direct control. If one of them gets in your way, tell us and we will find another way to get you what you need.
