PODCAST

Virgil and Cole are joined again by High Monkey accessibility specialist Seth Moline to finish the list of what WCAG 2.2 added to 2.1. Part 2 covers Dragging Movements, Target Size, Accessible Authentication, and the three AAA criteria. Several of these change decisions that design and security teams already made, like how big a button is and whether a login form lets people paste a password.

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.

In the Season 3 finale, Virgil and Cole reflect on 18 episodes of AI testing and discussion & share what actually held up. The conversation centers on a real lesson: AI reflects what you bring to it. Strong process knowledge and domain expertise get results. Gaps and blind spots get amplified.

Virgil and Cole close out the heart of Season 3 by looking back at the prompts used across the Intentional AI series. The conversation gets at something most AI content skips: the quality of a prompt comes from the clarity of thought behind it, not the technique used to write it.

AI should be a natural fit for analytics, but most people skip the step that makes it actually work. In this episode, Virgil and Cole dig into why knowing your "why" before you touch the data is the most important thing you can do - and what happens when you do not.

Social media is oversaturated and AI is making it worse. Most people using AI for social posts are skipping the hard part - knowing what they actually want to say. Cole and Virgil get into why that is the real problem, and what doing it better actually looks like.

Agentic AI sounds autonomous, but it is only as good as what you put in front of it. Virgil and Cole bring in Sean Wright from Kentico to talk through what agents actually do in a content workflow, why context determines everything, and what evals have to do with keeping it all on track.

When you put an LLM on top of years of unmanaged content, the AI does not skip the bad parts. Virgil and Cole bring in Will Noble from Squiz to talk through what conversational search actually requires - and why your content foundation matters more than your technology choices.

Coding runs on patterns and repetition, which makes it one of the better fits for AI... at least in theory. In this episode, Virgil, Cole, and returning guest Chad put Claude, ChatGPT, and GenSpark to the test building an accessible web component, and unpack what AI can and can't do depending on who's behind the keyboard.
