The Discussing Stupid podcast is BACK – Season 2, Episode 1 out now!

We’re excited to announce the release of the first full episode of Discussing Stupid Season 2!

After a short break (of 5 years), we’re back, and we're diving straight into an essential—but often overlooked—part of inclusive design: alt text.

In this episode, High Monkey CEO Virgil Carroll, joined by Chad and Cole from the High Monkey team, breaks down the critical role alt text plays in creating an inclusive and accessible digital experience. It’s not just about compliance with WCAG or ADA standards; it’s about making the web a more accessible place for everyone.

Get ready to learn about:

• How alt text impacts accessibility and inclusivity
• Practical tips for accurately describing different types of images (decorative, practical, informative)
• Why relying solely on AI to generate alt text can backfire and why human-written descriptions matter
• How much Chad loves Bacon

Alt text is the key to creating a better experience for users relying on assistive technologies like screen readers. Without it, many users are left in the dark—literally.
