Welcome to the inaugural episode of The InclusionHub Podcast.
InclusionHub launched in December 2020 with the express purpose of building an online community to help make the digital world a more accessible and inclusive place. We’re under no illusion that dramatically changing the infrastructure and design of the digital world will be easy, but we’re committed to doing our part to ensure anyone, regardless of disability or socioeconomic status, has easy access to the greater online ecosystem.
What Is The InclusionHub Podcast?
Today, on the 32nd anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) being signed into law, we’re launching The InclusionHub Podcast to help contextualize the issue of digital accessibility and advocate for a more inclusive web.
The series—with episodes released biweekly—will take you through the journey of the disability rights struggle, help people understand the enormous impact of the landmark legislation, and hopefully inspire more people to join us in the pursuit of living in a world in which accessibility is the default for any new technology, software, or web-based platform.
Throughout this podcast series, you’ll hear from luminaries from the disability rights movement and people making it their life’s work to ensure full web accessibility.
This first episode doesn’t disappoint. Guests include:
Jutta Treviranus, director of the Inclusive Design Research Center at Toronto’s OCAD University. Treviranus is a global expert on inclusive design, whose research has been used to inform everything from government policy to an international treaty on disability rights. She is quite literally one of the foremost experts on web accessibility.
Mike Hess, the founder of the nonprofit Blind Institute of Technology, which helps to advance the careers of professionals with disabilities.
Laura Kalbag, co-founder of the nonprofit Small Technology Foundation and author of the book ‘Accessibility for Everyone.’

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
