Disabled talks about problems , non-disabled repairs them: Thats the image we have when we look on many accessibility stages. Conferences, discussions, talks - the non-disabled are dominating.

Your podcast should be as accessible as possible to reach a great audience. How to do that? You will learn in that episode.
It was probably to be expected that at some point even an established company would switch to the dark side.
