In this episode, I'm chatting with Rian Rietveld. She is a Web Accessibility expert and leads the WordPress Accessibility Team. She is my first international guest, and lives in the Netherlands.

This is a topic I'm passionate about. I finally get to ask Rian all those questions that have been floating around in my head about Web Accessibility. Rian explains why it is important, and what we need to know.
