- Technology
This podcast is born from the decision at Tamman to state clearly and plainly that access to information is a human right. The developers and designers at Tamman work hard to make sure that no matter what use constraint a user may have, be it due to a temporary, situational, episodic, or permanent condition or disability, they will be able to access the information designed and built by Tamman.
This podcast is a call for others to join in a bigger conversation with us. We work to build the inclusive web. To do that we need all of us - working together & learning together. Thanks for listening and let’s get the conversation started.

This podcast is led by our co-hosting dynamic duo:
Marty Molloy - President, Article 19 Co-Host
