Inclusive Listening: Making Podcasts Accessible for All

Podcasts are a powerful way to share ideas and tell stories, but they often exclude people with hearing difficulties. On International Podcast Day, the call to make podcasts more inclusive reminds us of the importance of accessibility in all media.

Transcriptions, captions, and innovative technologies can open up this space to millions of listeners who are often left out of the conversation. This aligns with the Hold My Hand campaign’s vision of a society where everyone—regardless of ability—has the tools and opportunities to connect, learn, and thrive.
