AT Banter Podcast Episode 420 - Lucy Greco - Accessibility Evangelist

Rob, Ryan, and Lis are joined this week by the delightful and outspoken Lucy Greco—YouTuber, Accessibility Evangelist, and champion of all things inclusive! Lucy shares the inside scoop on her advocacy work at the University of California, Berkeley, and her popular YouTube channel, where she reviews appliances and chats candidly with fellow blind creators. Together they dive into hot accessibility topics, from discussing why PDFs are often the villains of digital accessibility  to exploring the urgent need for stronger enforcement of accessibility laws. Lucy emphasizes the power of inclusive design, highlighting companies that get it right and calling out those that miss the mark. The conversation stresses why involving the disability community from the very beginning isn't just ethical—it's essential for good design. They also touch on how AI could revolutionize accessibility, but only if used responsibly and transparently.
