Real Talk About Podcasting and Accessibility w/The Blind Blogger, Maxwell Ivey

Tools of the Podcast Trade w/J. Rosemarie Francis

Do you find yourself making excuses for why you can't start a podcast?
This week's guest, Maxwell Ivey, a visually impaired YouTube podcast host, is an author, life coach, and accessibility consultant.
Max, also known as "The Blind Blogger," shares his experience on how embracing the rawness of life's challenges can captivate an audience and build real connections. We talked about the never-ending updates that online apps and platforms go through and addressed the surprising impact of these updates on those with disabilities.
On the topic of podcasting, Max posit that you don't need a high-tech studio or insider know-how to start making waves with your own podcast. This episode is not just about starting something new; it's an invitation to shed your doubts and make this the year your voice is finally heard. As the host of The Accessibility Advantage podcast, Max "walks the walk."
So what's your excuse?
We also looked at what it takes to navigate the podcasting landscape when accessibility is a constant hurdle, from uploading woes to the hunt for a platform that understands the needs of people with disabilities.
That's why Max is tirelessly advocating for businesses to make accessibility an integral part of their product updates.
Join us as we celebrate the wins, tackle the tech, and inspire you to turn your podcasting aspirations into reality. Because there's no excuse not to start now.
