The Magic of Podcasts

Podcasts are a wonderful way to learn and be entertained while doing daily tasks. I listen to them while walking, cooking, or commuting— they turn boring moments into opportunities to learn about science, history, or storytelling. There’s a podcast for every interest: I love true crime podcasts for suspense, educational ones for new facts, and comedy ones for laughter. Podcasts are flexible— I can pause, rewind, or listen at my own pace. They also let me hear diverse voices and perspectives I might not encounter otherwise. Whether I’m learning something new or just relaxing, podcasts have become a valuable part of my daily routine.

Inclusive design flips this script, starting from the margins and designing for the full range of human diversity. It recognizes that what works for the most excluded often creates a better experience for everyone.
