About the podcast
Discussing Stupid is hosted by Virgil Carroll, High Monkey’s CEO and Principal Human Solutions Architect, and Cole Schlotthauer, High Monkey’s Content Strategy Specialist. We work with teams every day on digital strategy, content, and platform decisions, so we see firsthand where projects stall, overcomplicate, or miss the point entirely.
This podcast is a space we've created to address these problems directly (AKA rant). Each episode focuses on one practical topic in modern digital work, from AI to collaboration to content practices. We break down what is actually happening, why it goes wrong, and most importantly, what to do instead. The goal is simple: clearer direction, practical solutions, and a better path forward for teams who want to get it right.

EPISODE

Virgil and Cole are joined by High Monkey accessibility specialist Seth Moline to walk through what WCAG 2.2 actually added to 2.1, one success criterion at a time. Part 1 covers Consistent Help, Redundant Entry, and Focus Not Obscured. None of it is new thinking. These are UX practices people ignored long enough that they ended up written into a standard.

Season 4 is here. In Season 3, Virgil and Cole spent every episode on AI. They found that many of the problems people blame on AI are not caused by AI at all - those problems already existed, and AI just made them easier to see. This season, the show covers the full range of digital work again, including AI, accessibility, user experience, content, search, and design.
