In this podcast, I chat with people fighting for a better web in their own way: accessibility experts, privacy advocates, developers pushing web standards forward, anti-monopoly voices, and people building alternatives to Big Tech tools. I hope you'll join me in meeting these inspiring individuals and hearing what it actually takes to build a more open, inclusive internet.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T00:17:55.873791+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-a-better-web-7035190"},"episode":{"title":"The Past, Present and Future of Web Accessibility","slug":"the-past-present-and-future-of-web-accessibility","published_at":"2024-12-02T07:30:28+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-a-better-web-7035190/the-past-present-and-future-of-web-accessibility","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/for-a-better-web-7035190","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/forabetterweb/episodes/The-Past--Present-and-Future-of-Web-Accessibility-e2riirl","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/fa587fdc/podcast/play/95029557/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2024-10-27%2F390564305-44100-2-2d8974afb7508.m4a","summary":"In this episode of For a Better Web, Bruce chats with Léonie Watson, accessibility advocate and director of TetraLogical.
